shop smith

The MarkII was manufactured by Magna/Yuba, the company previous to the present Shopsmith Inc. The MarkII was basically designed as a cheaper model to be marketed by Montgomery Ward.

You will be much better served to find a used 500, 510, or 520. These Shopsmiths are still fully served and supported by Shopsmith. If you are interested, I know a gentleman in your area who can set you up with a more modern Shopsmith at very reasonable cost. You are also welcome to come up to Gainesville to see my shop.

thx but im not intrested , i know theres a lot of folks that have them and it seemed like a good buy fo 50.00 even just for parts

Unless you are planning to sell it as parts on eBay, pass on it. You can easily make money by parting it out. It would be difficult to get it back into running condition. Ad says it is missing the motor and that will be hard to replace. I don’t believe any of the headstock parts are compatible with the Mark V.
