More Power – Wider Speed Range – Dual Direction

Here’s what Shopsmith’s revolutionary PowerPro® Headstock Upgrade will bring to YOUR home shop

More Horsepower and Torque You’ll have 1-3/4 HP at your command if you’re using a 120 Volt circuit and a full 2HP if you’re using a 240 Volt circuit. PLUS – you can switch from 120 to 240 Volt operation by simply changing the plug on the end of your cord because the PowerPro will automatically sense the change and make the switch accordingly. And, you’ll enjoy at least TWICE the torque of your current MARK V throughout the full speed range. You’ll be able to increase your depths-of-cut and feed rates to achieve the kinds of operating eficiencies that are typically reserved for high-powered commercial machinery.

Broader Speed Range – From 250 to 10,000 RPM On the slow end, you can bore huge holes for clocks or similar projects without burning your bits, PLUS, drill metals – turn large diameter

spindles or bowls – resaw thick stock – and lots more. On the fast end, you’ll rout or shape without feathering, chattering or splintering – and joint or plane smooth edges or surfaces at lightning speeds.

Digital Controls It offers membrane-style push-pads for controlling motor speeds, direction and more. Use the ive presets to select an approximate speed, then move “UP” or “DOWN” from there in as little as 1 RPM increments. It also includes a built-in Speed Chart that will select the ideal speed for you, based on the bit or blade you’re using, the operation you’re performing and the material you’re working with. There’s even a lock-out function to prevent children or other unauthorized users from operating your machine.

Saves Energy Since the PowerPro uses Intelligent Adaptive Power Delivery to draw only the power it needs to maintain its selected speed under load, it has been proven to save up to 80% of the energy over conventional motors. As a result, you’ll get more than enough additional usable power from a standard 15-AMP home circuit to operate multiple power tools (i.e. MARK V & Dust Collector) simultaneously without blowing a fuse.

Operates Smoothly & Quietly The unique compensating technology of the DVR motor ensures operational and speed-changing smoothness. And, when you couple this with the heavier motor with HUGE bearings on BOTH ends of the shaft and precision CNC-machined, wobble-free pulleys, you’ll discover that the PowerPro is extremely quiet at idle and all speeds.

Low Maintenance Since the PowerPro uses electronic speed control, there are no mechanical speed-changing components to adjust, repair or replace. PLUS – every component operates with sealed bearings that require zero lubrication.

The totally enclosed fan-cooled Motor virtually eliminates dust problems and the rugged Poly-V Belts last almost indeinitely. If something goes wrong, the Control Panel describes the problem and you can easily unplug, remove and return any component to the factory inexpensively for repair.

Digital Controls – Low MaintenanceState-of-the-art motor technology

helps your PowerPro work harder for you The PowerPro Headstock features a DVR (Digital Variable Reluctance) Motor that’s quite amazing. Unlike dumb AC or DC motors, DVR motors are controlled by a computer that analyzes the spindle position and power needed to maintain a given speed at up to 2400 times per second...then uses Power Factor Correction technology to adjust the power delivery…eliminating slow-downs, over-revving and losses of power that can negatively affect project results.

DVR Motors also save energy and emissions over conventional motors and are even smart enough to know whether you’re plugging them into a 120 Volt or 240 Volt outlet…without any adjustments beyond simply switching the plugs on their power cords.

The PowerPro MotorThe PowerPro Motor is a totally enclosed, fan cooled, 35-pound bruiser, scientiically engineered to stand up to all the punishment you can dish out. It’s encircled by heat dissipating ins and fanned by oversized vanes that keep it cool under even the most taxing conditions. Working in concert with the Computerized Motor Controller, it gives you 1-3/4 HP when operating at 120 Volts…and a full 2HP when operating at 240

Volts…and at least TWICE the torque of your current MARK V motor throughout its full speed range.

Computerized Motor Controller makes it all possibleThe PowerPro Motor Controller maintains a constant watch over every operation. The covered Controller its snugly above the Motor and is, in effect, a sophisticated Computer that constantly monitors the performance of your PowerPro to maintain the speed regardless of load, while optimizing the Motor’s power consumption.

Countless hours of in-shop testing and re-testing ensures proven performanceDuring development, every aspect of the PowerPro was tested and re-tested to be certain that it would perform to our highest expectations – and yours, of course!

The most notable of these tests involved a punishing trial of the machine’s ability to keep performing during a grueling thickness planing study. We started with a giant stack of 2” thick by 6” to 8” wide, tough white oak boards.

We set our MARK V-powered Shopsmith Thickness planer for the fastest feed rate and a very aggressive 3/64” depth-of cut…then started feeding our boards

through the planer. We continued this process over several weeks in one-hour increments without stopping until we had fed a MILE of white oak through our planer…with no bogging, no complaining and no overheating!

See the following page for PowerPro Upgrade Pricing

“Thanks for the work you and your team did in developing the PowerPro. I’ve been so impressed with the new capabilities. The boost in power is fantastic and the quiet-running machine is great... I use the chart button for virtually everything. It’s one of the neatest features of the PowerPro. It feels like a whole new machine and is even more versatile than I had already gotten used-to.” – Philip K, via the internet

“I’d like to compliment your staff that put the PowerPro Upgrade instructions together. I watched the DVD and read the instructions...then proceeded, step-by-step. I referred back to each often, which probably took extra time, but it is absolutely perfect. Thanks for a great product and the instructions to do the job properly! – Joseph L., via the internet

“Through the years, I’ve upgraded my original 500 model Shopsmith to 510, then to 520 and now to the Ultimate Upgrade -- PowerPro. The smooth, quiet operation is impressive. Placing a cup of coffee on the table reveals nary a ripple, even at 10,000 RPM. Users will find that the PowerPro’s ability to sense torque makes it possible to do table saw ripping equal to many cabinet saws. Additionally, the variable speed feature lets me rip and crosscut curly maple and cherry without unsightly burn marks.” – Ralph Livingston, Michigan


5 Keys to PowerPro Safety – 1: Machine default setting is 500 RPM when irst powered-up with main MARK V switch, preventing high-speed start-ups

that could catch you off guard and cause an injury.

2: Lower speed possibilities (to 250 RPM) mean added safety when working with large turnings, boring large diameter holes, sanding and similar operations – while higher speeds (to 10,000 RPM) mean faster, smoother cutting for others.

3: Internal speed chart shows you the ideal speed for every operation upon request.

4: Operator conirmations are required for speeds over 1,500 RPM and reverse operation

5: Lets you establish passwords for locking-out access by unauthorized users

Double Tilt Base Upgrade turns your MARK V into an UNDER-table Router, Shaper and Drum

Sander just like the new MARK 7!It’s the perfect upgrade for Shopsmith Owners who prefer the UNDER-table approach

If you’re a woodworker who prefers the more conventional, UNDER-table approach to routing and shaping, this new Shopsmith Upgrade is for you. And, if you haven’t really thought about the differences, here are a couple of points that you might want to consider.

Safety With most UNDER-table shaping or routing operations, the workpiece is positioned between your hands and the bit. As a result, the workpiece, in effect, acts as a guard, protecting you from potential dangers. As an example, when routing a dado or groove across the surface of a board. When performing this operation with the UNDER-table method, your router bit will be completely covered by the workpiece...thus, keeping your hands well out of harm’s way.

Working Convenience When you’re routing or shaping an interior cut-out area of a workpiece using the OVER-table method, removing a workpiece for an occasional inspection (or other reason) requires that you retract your bit or cutter. As a result, you’ll then also have to re-set your depth-of-cut each time you return to your task. However, with an UNDER-table set-up, these retraction and re-setting operations aren’t necessary.

Upgrading is a Quick, Simple Process You’ll replace the two vertical Worktable Support Tubes...and your current Base & Arm assembly and Headrest with two tilting Base & Arm Assemblies. The entire process takes about an hour and requires only a few simple tools that you probably have in your shop.

Here’s What’s Included With Your Upgrade Kit:

• (2) Pivot Bases

• (2) Pivot Arms

• (2) Vertical Lock Knobs

• (2) Horizontal Lock Knobs

• (2)Accessory Mount Lock Handles

• (2) New Double-Rack Worktable Posts w/Locking Pins

• All Required Hardware

Roll your Shopsmith effortlessly from one location to another with just one inger

Our new 3” diameter Caster Wheels will make that wish come true!These big, 3” diameter by 1-1/4” wide Casters feature tough, polyolein wheels and rugged 3/8” steel axles that roll super-smoothly on sealed ball bearings.

Smooth Ride Their soft, non-marring polyurethane tires deliver the perfect combination of shock absorption for a smooth, quiet “ride” …and resistance to developing lat spots. The tires are both chemically and mechanically bonded to the wheels so they won’t come off – plus, they’re certiied to be resistant to the oils and chemicals found in the home shop.

Rugged Performance Rated at 200# per Caster, they rotate on beefy 7/16” dia. grip-ring stems and double ball bearing 360° swivels with hardened raceways and metal covers that shield the

bearings from dust and debris. They swivel instantly, changing direction with practically ZERO resistance!

Installed Easily on your existing Retractable Casters brackets. Just drill new bracket mounting holes in the legs of your Shopsmith. A paper drilling guide template is included and a steel drill guide is also available – see below. Then, pull the old wheels out and replace with the new. Bolt the brackets into their new position and you’re done.

• Glide over basement & garage loor concrete expansion joints with ease• No more getting stopped abruptly by small wood scraps and sawdust• Cut your rolling effort by up to 60%

The Proof is in These Test ResultsWe tested these casters against our original Mark V casters. We set up a MARK 7 as a table saw/jointer combo (weight: 284#). We then tested our old 2” casters against the new 3” models on a smooth, tiled loor.

We used a spring scale attached to the center of the table carriage and pulled the machine sideways. First, we set the wheels on each set of casters at 90° to our pull direction. Next, we set the wheels parallel with our pull direction.

The Shopsmith 11” Bandsaw brings so many capabilities to the shop that it’s easy to see why it’s

our most popular special Purpose ToolShopsmith’s hard-working, feature-packed Bandsaw

is certain to become one of the most often used tools

in your shop

What do you do with your new Shopsmith Bandsaw

Although bandsaws were originally developed to make curved cuts, users soon realized that they offered a number of great, straight-line cutting advantages, as well. For example, few table saws (commercial or otherwise) will cut stock up to 6” thick...or cut metal. Here are just a few of the jobs bandsaws are well-suited to tackle:

Cut tight or sweeping curves…No home shop saw will cut faster than a bandsaw... and with Shopsmith’s generous-sized support table and full range of 1/8” to 5/8” wide blades, you’ll be able to cut simple or intricate curves in wood, plastic, and non-ferrous metals.

Make compound cuts to create 3-D objects…Curved table legs are often created by irst cutting the required curves on the two opposing faces of a board - taping the scrap back into position - then rotating the board 90° and repeating the process.

Quickly cut woods up to 6” thick…Whether straight or curved, the bandsaw will easily cut thick woods other saws just can’t handle.

Resaw thin boards from thick ones…When you need thin woods for your projects, equip your bandsaw with a 1/2” or 5/8” resawing blade, and you can stand boards up to 6” wide on edge and slice thin boards out of thick ones, just like the lumberyards.

Pad-saw multiple items simultaneously…Need four identical bracket feet for a small clock or box? Use double-stick tape to create a stack of boards of identical thicknesses (up to 6” total) and saw them all at once...then separate them.

Cut metals, plastics & other materials…When making straight or curved cuts in non-ferrous metals (up to 1/4” thick), plastics, rubber and other materials, no other home shop saw will out-perform the bandsaw.

Special features that make your work easier

Large, versatile Worktable…Measuring 13-1/2” X 15-1/2”, it offers an easy-to-read scale for precise tilt adjustments from 5° left to 45° right plus a special T-slot extrusion that you can ine-tune to it your Miter Gauge precisely for smooth, wobble-free operation.

Easy blade tension adjustments…See-through window lets you match the indicator on the Tension Gauge with the blade width you’re using...without having to remove the machine cover.

Unlimited cut-off capacity on workpieces up to 3-7/8” wide…Exclusive reversible Blade Guides allow you to twist your blade to a 30° angle from the saw’s frame to cut long boards with no throat restrictions.

Shop vacuums are no match for dust

collectors when it comes to sucking-

up sawdust and wood chips.

Although shop vacuums are great for sweeping loors, sucking-up water and general shop clean-up, they’re not your best choice for inhaling large volumes of shavings or superine dust from woodworking machinery. Where shop vacuums generate static pressure for picking-up nuts, bolts, water and other heavy stuff, dust collectors are made to snatch 90+% of the dust and debris from your machinery...BEFORE it gets airborne and creates a mess in the shop – and problems in your lungs.

In order for dust collectors to do their job, they rely on CFM (cubic-feet-per-minute) of airlow and NOT static pressure. In fact, on average, they offer THREE TIMES the CFM of conventional shop

vacuums and are far more eficient at collecting dust and debris at the source.

Shopsmith’s DC-3300 Collector handles dust control and shop clean-up with ease and eficiency. In fact, when you’re inished working, it even becomes an air cleaner by simply disconnecting the hoses, opening all three inlets and turning it on to remove any lingering airborne particles (as small as 7 microns – 1 micron with the optional 42” dust hood !) from a 12’ X 12’ shop in about 10

minutes!

Shopsmith’s DC-3300 Dust Collector is jam-packed with hard-working features

Powerful 1/2 HP Motor is fan-cooled,

sealed and develops up to 3/4 HP – that’s

enough to provide continuous, eficient dust collection with up to 98% eficiency.

Exceptional Hook-Up Versatility three 2-1/2” ports allow you to serve up to three

machines at once.

Large, 4-vane, Low-Noise Fan provides 330 CFM of airlow with minimal noise.

Huge 30-Gallon Waste Capacity features heavy duty, 30-gallon see-through,

disposable Dust Bags that attach and remove with a quick-release Retaining Strap.

Oversize Wheels & Casters make it easy for you to move your DC-3300 around the

shop with almost zero effort.

Generous 12-Foot Power Cord means you’ll never have to look for an extension!

Optional Filter Hoods let you choose your level of dust collection eficiency

Where The Cake Always Comes First!

Dust Collector Filter Hoods clean the air that’s

returned to the environment once the dust is

removed. As they do this, a cake of dust forms on

the inside of the hood. The thicker the cake, the

smaller the dust particles it will hold captive inside.

Our larger Hoods offer nearly FOUR TIMES the

surface area of our original equipment (12”)

Hood. This helps them maintain optimal airlow,

even though particle size is reducing. Made of a

special polyester felt, they’re all fully washable, even

though it’s seldom necessary.

Loaded with work-saving features and

operator benefits, our large capacity

Belt Sander offers capablilites that

competitive models have overlookedFew tools will save you more work and time than a sta-

tionary belt sander. Its straight line action removes stock

quickly and easily...then, by changing to a ine grit belt,

smoothes the surfaces and edges of wide or narrow boards

to a glass like surface....PLUS....

• Removing unsightly mill marks from sawn stock

• Sanding bevels, miters and other cuts by using the table

to maintain a precise angle or size

• Contour sanding odd-shaped workpieces on the back side

of the belt (which runs free without a back-up plate)

• Sanding protruding joinery (inger laps, lap joints, mortise-&-tenons, dovetails, etc.) lush with workpiece edges or surfaces

• Sanding small or unusually-shaped parts that may be dificult or impossible to hold for sanding with hand-held power sanders

To remove stock quickly, sand across the grain. To smooth stock, sand with the grain. Its straight-line cutting action helps you

produce surfaces or edges that are as smooth as glass...and as straight as an arrow. For true 90° edges, position the worktable along

the side of the belt so its surface is 90° to the belt surface...then use the table as a precision rip fence-type guide.

When you need precise, two-way 90° corners, position the worktable across the belt with its surface 90° to the belt surface...

then use the table as a back-up to maintain the angle of the stock during sanding. For precise, three-way 90° corners, use your

Shopsmith MARK 7 or MARK V Miter Gauge in the Table slot for even more control. As with all Shopsmith Special Purpose

Tools, your Belt Sander offers a number of great features to help you make everything you make - better.

Your new Shopsmith Belt Sander gives you…6” x 9” Support Table – Tilts and locks in position to control sanding angles and to act as a back-up during certain opera-

tions. It may be used across the belt, parallel to it on either side or at any angle for support when surfacing or edging stock. Your

Shopsmith Miter Gauge or the Shopsmith Tenon-Master jig may be used with the Table for added control.

Automatic Belt Tensioning and Tracking – Just twist the tensioning knob until it clicks to release the tension for belt changes.

Then, depress the knob release lever and everything snaps back to normal automatically. No tension settings required. Special

high-crown drum helps to keep the belt on-track at all times, without the need for constant adjustments.

Free-Running Belt on Back Side – Since the back side of the belt has no back-up plate, it will lex and give to match the external

contours of workpieces.

Built-In Dust Collection Port – 2-1/2” dust

collection port helps you capture the ine dust

created by your Sander before it gets into the shop

environment.

the drive roller to accept the optional Shopsmith

Hollow Chisel Mortising Attachment

Beats Two-Step Mortising Hands-Down

for Speed, Precision and Finished

Appearance

There are four primary ways to cut mortises. These are: 1: Use a bench chisel. 2: Bore out the waste with a drill bit and square-up with a chisel. 3: Rout away the waste, then square-up with a chisel. 4: Use a hollow chisel mortiser and you’re done!

Several years ago, hollow chisel mortising faded in popularity and was replaced by router-based slot mortising. Well, it didn’t take long for woodworkers to igure out that hollow-chisel mortising was faster and easier. As a result, people decided to return to the old hollow chisel method.

Here’s how this tool works. • Install your drill chuck on your Mark 7 or Mark V spindle. • Slip the Mortising Attachment over the outside of your quill and tighten the setscrew.

• Insert the mortising chisel of your choice into the opposite end of the attachment and tighten another setscrew. • Slip the mortising bit through the chisel and tighten it in your drill chuck. • Position your workpiece against your rip fence, install the hold-down and go to work!

The attachment holds and keeps the chisel from rotating while your drill chuck holds and spins the mortising bit that rides inside the chisel. As you lower the set into your wood, the bit removes most of the waste while the chisel’s sharp edges shave the sides of the mortise square and smooth. The special hold-down attaches to the top of your rip fence to keep your workpiece from lifting off the table surface when you retract the chisel.

The Shopsmith Tenon Master TM Jig Makes Easy Work Of

Creating The Mating Tenons For Your Joints The Shopsmith Tenon Master Jig has a wide, lat face that holds workpieces exactly perpendicular to your MARK 7 or Mark V worktable top. Besides being used to create tenons on the Table Saw, it’s also great for holding and guiding workpieces through operations on other tools such as your Bandsaw or Belt Sander.

Made of heavy, cast aluminum, with a steel base, it offers a large knob for optimum control... and a miter bar that guides your workpiece across the table of your MARK 7, Mark V, Belt Sander or Bandsaw.

A toggle clamp helps you grip the workpiece, and an arced wooden trunnion provides back-up support for workpieces with angled ends...i.e. when cutting spline grooves for the mating faces of miters on picture frames and similar projects.

10-inch thin-kerf carbide-tipped Blades slice through the hardest woods with ease, make

super-clean cuts and seldom require re-sharpening Thin Kerfs Make the Difference Unlike many Blades that take a kerf of 1/8” or more, these blades deliver a narrower (Approx.) 3/32” kerf, resulting in a faster, more eficient cut that requires less horsepower than many competitive Blades.

The trade-off between rip, crosscut and combination blades Before selecting your blades, understand that there are compromises. Although Combination Blades deliver excellent cuts in most situations, the best cuts are usually produced by task-speciic blades. For example, rip cuts produce larger chips that require deep gullets to remove waste eficiently. And, since they need more gullet space, they have fewer teeth. On the other hand, crosscutting produces iner dust, so shallower gullets leave room for more teeth and a smoother cut. So, if your projects often require lots of continuous crosscutting or ripping, it would stand to reason that you’ll work quicker and get smoother results by using a purpose-speciic crosscut or rip blade.

However, if your projects require that you switch back-and-forth between crosscutting and ripping more frequently, the minimal trade-off in cut quality that can come with using a combination blade could quickly pay you back in terms of saved blade-changing time.

NOTE: All three of these Blades are manufactured exclusively for Shopsmith by CMT Tools in Germany and feature the standard 1-1/4” Shopsmith Arbor Hole.

●A 10-inch Carbide-Tipped Combination Blade This 50-tooth blade delivers super-smooth cuts when crosscutting or ripping. It’s 40 alternate bevel ground crosscutting teeth slice through the wood ibers fast and are separated by shallow gullets for optimal crosscutting eficiency. The 10 lat top ground ripping teeth chisel through the stock rapidly and are separated by long, deep gullets to eliminate the large amount of waste that’s produced. C-4 carbide.

●B 10-inch Carbide-Tipped Rip Blade This 24-tooth blade is the best choice for continuous ripping. Its alternate bevel ground teeth combined with square chisel teeth cut quickly, while its deeper gullets are well-equipped to handle the faster feed rates and large amount of waste that it produces. C-2 carbide.

●C 10-inch Carbide-Tipped Crosscut BladeThis 60-tooth blade is the ideal choice for continuous crosscutting. Its alternate bevel ground teeth combined with lat ground teeth are designed to quickly sever the wood ibers and deliver a super-smooth cut on hardwoods or softwoods. C-4 carbide.

Riving Knives on Upper Saw Guard Systems are positioned at the back side of the saw blade and are designed to prevent the kerf from closing onto the blade teeth once the cut has been made. When this occurs, the potential for a kickback increases signiicantly.

If your MARK V (model 505, 510 or 520) machine was manufactured after November of 1985, your Upper Saw Guard mechanism includes a Riving Knife that’s designed to prevent this kerf-closing when making through cuts. All of the new MARK 7s also include this system. For your own safety and protection, we advise you to always use this system when making through cuts on your Shopsmith Table Saw setup.

This new Non-Through-Cut Riving Knife will provide that same level of anti-kickback protection when making cuts where the blade does not pass all the way through the stock. Although the remaining wood that is not cut away from the stock during these non-through cuts will keep the kerf from closing on the blade, the workpiece could still rock or tilt slightly, permitting a wedging effect that could initiate a kickback. A wide metal Riving Knife at the outfeed side of the sawblade will prevent this wedging effect from occurring. The Knife is slotted to slip quickly and easily into the Upper Guard Mounting System on your MARK V or MARK 7 and tighten, using the plastic Wing Knob. You’ll be ready to safely make your cut(s) in a few seconds. Works equally well when making straight or bevel cuts at any depth.

Meet the all-new TrueTrac Track Saw System… The go-anywhere System that gives you the precision of a cabinet saw in a compact package that you can carry to the yard or jobsite!For ripping or crosscutting large sheet goods, nothing (short of a big bucks behemouth cabinet saw) can beat a good track saw. But, the most widely known models available today only work with proprietary saws and cost between $600 and $1,000. That’s too much for most home craftsmen, and tradesmen alike.

TrueTrac lets you have that track sawyou’ve always wanted – for under $200!With TrueTrac, you can use your current Circular Saw...and save a bundle in the bargain!

11 great reasons why TrueTrac is the system for you1. No need to buy a new circular saw2. Thick, rugged twin rail track won’t sag 3. Holds its position without clamps4. Track edge is your exact cut position5. No time-consuming offset calculations6. Anti-chip system eliminates splintering7. Rips narrow boards like a table saw8. Bevels workpiece edges with ease9. Stores flat on a wall, out of the way10. Travels easily in a car trunk or back seat11. Optional Extension Kit cuts up to 96”

Rugged (1/8” thick) Track won’t sag like other track saws…even with the optional 48” Extension Track in place. That means straighter, more precise cuts every time.

Twin Anti-Chip Polyvinyl Track Edges serve three purposes:1. Non-slip bottom surfaces keep Track from moving

while you cut. No clamps required.2. Your irst saw pass shaves the sacriicial edge

– from that point, the edge indicates the exact position of your saw blade for marking cut lines. No blade offsets to calculate!

3. Anti-Chip Edges on the Track and the Adapter Plate prevent splintering. Very important when you’re cutting $100 a sheet veneered materials.

Flat Track hangs conveniently out of your way on a pegboard wall or hook until you need it

Fits in the trunk or back seat of your car with room to spare

Attach an optional 48” Extension Kit to your 57” Track with our patented connectors to rip panels up to 102” wide!

Track Saw vs. Edge GuideWith edge guides, each cut requires you to factor-in the distance from the edge of your saw’s shoe to the blade or cut line. If that distance is like 2-9/32”, you’ll have an on-going computing problem that’ll make you nuts ! But, unlike an edge guide, TrueTrac’s specially designed Adapter Plate positions your saw on top of the guide track, NOT against it, and features a polyvinyl strip with a sacriicial edge that marks your cut position precisely with no factoring required. And, since your saw rides on top of the track, you can’t wander away from its edge and ruin your cut.

The mating chamfered edges of the Track rails and Adapter Plate grooves that ride on them are self-aligning with zero play between them, while the weight of your saw keeps every cut on-track and precisely positioned – every time…without clamps!

Track Saw System… The Jack of All Trades Track Saw System

…Your low cost alternative to high-priced track saws

Rip narrow boards, as if you were using a table saw As long as you have two boards of the same thickness, this task is amazingly simple.

Shave thin strips off workpiece edges to produce boards of precise widths With TrueTrac, ripping as little as 1/32” off the edge of a board is a breeze.

Eliminating rough or waned edges is a snap This is one job that is actually far more dificult with your table saw than with your TrueTrac Track Saw!

Crosscut multiple boards, all at once Just line them up, position TrueTrac on top and make your cuts. Polyvinyl edges hold track in position without clamps or iddling.

Bevel the edges of sheet goods or individual boards Flip your saw around to the opposite side of the Track and you’re ready to rip or crosscut perfectly beveled edges.

Cut tapered shapes for cabinet illers and similar projects It’s actually faster and easier to do with your TrueTrac than it is with a table saw!

10 Position QUICK-INDEX Quill Feed HandlePowerful rare earth magnet & fail-safe indexing pin

make Handle re-positioning a breeze!

Our 61-year history of upgrading the Shopmith Mark V to make it easier and more convenient to use has recently brought about the introduction of yet another great idea.

This time, it’s an ingenious, inexpensive Quill Feed Handle Upgrade that makes Drilling, Drum Sanding, Shaping, Routing, Mortising, Disc Sanding and many other Shopsmith operations quicker, more convenient and safer to operate.

It gives you a choice of TEN comfortable working positions instead of three – and instantly moves out of your way when you need it to do so in order to avoid interference with workpieces, safety devices and jigs or ixtures.

To install, remove the standard Hub that is normally mounted to the Quill Feed Shaft on your Shopsmith and replace it with the

Quick-Index Hub Adapter (A in the photo below left).

Next, install the Quick-Index Handle by slipping its center hole (B in the photo) over the 5/8” center shaft of the Adapter. The Rare Earth Magnet (C)will then pull the Handle Indexing Pin (D) into one of the 10 evenly spaced (every 36°) Indexing Holes (E) bored in the face of the Hub Adapter.

Handle Re-positioningTo disengage the Handle from the Adapter and move it to a different position, simply grasp the silver Handle collar (NOT the Black Handle Knob nor the Handle Shaft) and pull it straight out and away from the Adapter. No iddling or un-screwing is required.

Once you have it indexed to your desired location, simply release it and the powerful magnet will instantly snap and lock it into position. Just a few seconds and you’re done!

The Indexing Pin and Holes have been precision itted to one another with just the right amount of clearance to allow them to engage and disengage quickly...yet they WILL NOT disengage in the event you should accidentally bump the Handle.

Extremely close tolerances make this ingenious design work perfectly every time ! As far as we know, this clever approach is an industry first.

Order the components that best suit your needsOrder the Two-Piece Kit and you’ll be ready to enjoy the convenience this product provides on one side of your Shopsmith. Order the Three-Piece Kit and you’ll get TWO Hub Adapters….allowing you to have the same beneits on BOTH sides of your Shopsmith. Or, if you prefer, Order the Two-Piece Kit now – then add the extra Hub at a later date. It’s your choice.

A great accessory – solidly built, quick to install and a great improvement. Easily changes handle positions when boring, using the drill press or lathe. It moves into the perfect position then stays there until you move it . Highly recommended.L.W. – Anchorage, AK

I really like the index aspect & the rare Earth Magnet has great gripping power. A very worthwhile upgrade.B.R. – Monroeville, IN

This Quill Feed Handle is a vast improvement over the original Handle. With it, I can position it almost wherever I want and repositioning it is a snap! A great accessory for any Shopsmith Headstock.J.U. – Norwood, NY

I like the ability to quickly change handle position with no fumbling, twisting and turning. The increased indexing capability is very handy. Over the years, I have been frustrated many times with the quadrant spacing limits. Thank you for continuing to innovate and create improvements. Lastly, I like the Shopsmith quality and precision engineering that I’ve come to expect.D.M. – Fairfield, OH

Quick-Acting Bench & Drill Press Vise is the most fully-featured, best-working model we’ve ever offered

Every shop needs a great drill press vise for boring holes in small workpieces, routing mortises and a host of other operations. And, having a bench-mounted vise is handy too. But adding both can be costly. Small drill press vises with little in the way of features run between $50 and $130 and bench vises can easily exceed $150!

Here’s a solutionThis combination vise features a comfortable handle that locks in position at 90° for added leverage, a Clamp for bench mounting (competitive Vises don’t include this Clamp) and a quick-release button for super-fast adjustments. Mount it to your Drill Press table

with our sliding T-Nuts (included)...or to a benchtop in a variety of positions (see photos). You’ll get loads of versatility for about the same money as a low-cost drill press vise alone!

Shopsmith’s standard 1/2” geared Drill Press Chuck and KeyThis high-quality, precision geared drill chuck has been especially manufactured for us to slip on and off easily over the 5/8” diameter quill shaft on all Shopsmith Multi-Purpose Machines (Mark V Models 500, 510, 520 and 505, as well as MARK7s.

It features a smooth opening-and-closing action and will irmly grasp any size bit between .020” (slightly smaller than 1/32”) and 1/2”.

Order an extra chuck key as a back-up in the event you misplace or lose your original key.

New Gas Spring Table-Raiser Makes Easy Work of Drill Press Table Lifting & Lowering

Switching between long drill bits (or other accessories) and short ones

can test your strength when you’re working in vertical, Drill Press position!

Lift-Assist helps you raise your Shopsmith into vertical position with as little as ZERO effort!

You’re using a 6” or 7” long Forstner Bit in Drill Press mode to create a counterbore in a workpiece. When you’re inished, you switch to a smaller (and shorter) bit to drill some

more holes...but now, your Worktable is too low for the 4-1/4” Quill Travel of your Shopsmith to allow your shorter bit to bore the holes. So, you have to raise the Table to bore the smaller holes. But, when you release the Carriage Lock Lever, the Table wants to drop immediately to the bottom of its travel...and on this day, it takes more strength than you have to keep it from falling. So, you quickly re-lock the Carriage, lower the Shopsmith to horizontal position, re-position the Table and raise the machine back into vertical position. Nerve-racking. Sound familiar?

Now, There’s a NEW SolutionIn about half an hour, using the supplied template and drill bit, you attach one of the included quick-release Table-Raiser Brackets to your Shopsmith’s Table Carriage and the other Bracket to your machine’s Base Arm

and you’re all set. From this point on, each time you plan to switch to Drill Press mode and think that this scenario may be a problem for you, just snap the Quick-Release Table-Raiser to your Shopsmith before you swing it into vertical position and it will no longer be a problem. Engineered speciically to work with YOUR Shopsmith Model, it will reduce your table-raising effort from 47# to 5# or ZERO (see table for speciics).

As we get older, we’re not as strong as we used to be... and tasks that were once easy for us are now more dificult. Lifting your Shopsmith into vertical position is one of those tasks that gets tougher with age.

But now, there’s a great helper available to eliminate most of this effort. And, no matter why you may need a little Assist-ance... in about half an hour to an hour, your Shopsmith Lift-Assist will be doing that lifting for you.

Again, we’re not talking about just a fraction of that effort... but 60% to 100% of the effort you normally exert to raise your MARK 7 or MARK V !

Each Lift-Assist includes: Lift-Assist Arm • Gas-Charged Cylinder • Hardware and • Simple, Step-by-Step

Instructions for adding it to any Mark 7 or any model Mark V.

Note: Sorry…if you own Shopsmith’s steel storage cabinets, with the Lift-Assist, only one of them will slide under

the Mark 7/Mark V for storage (if the casters are removed from the steel storage cabinets, two will it).

Shopsmith/NOVA Chuck provides a solid grip on stock & makes quick work of attaching & detaching turnings

Lathe centers and faceplate are must-have accessories for your turning projects

Precision machined to close tolerances, this premier quality, self-centering scrolling chuck lets you attach and detach turnings without leaving unsightly screw holes or having to glue scrap blocks to them that can be tough to remove.

The T-Handled Wrench moves all four jaws in unison, grasping your workpiece irmly without crushing the wood.

You’ll get a secure hold, whether you’re gripping end grain or side grain...and know that your gripping pressure will be spread over a wide area, preventing damage to your workpieces.

Includes SafeLock Woodworm Screw and a special Shopsmith Insert Adapter The 1-7/8” long by 1/2” dia. Screw offers a deep thread that’s machined all the way to the end of the screw, allowing it to lead easily into a 9/32” dia. pilot hole in soft woods (5/16” for hardwoods) and grip tightly. Its square shank and locating groove locks positively into the NOVA Chuck body. The Insert Adapter is designed speciically to attach to the 5/8” Shopsmith Spindle using your standard 5/32” Allen Wrench.

$4995 Value Pin Jaw Set enhances your turning capabilities Designed to expand into a pre-bored hole in your workpiece, it’s the ideal choice for turning bowls with freeform edges. And since this Jaw Set will grip a range of hole sizes, you won’t have to bore an exact sized hole.

You can also use the long jaws to get a powerful, more stable external (contraction) grip when turning miniature or smaller diameter spindles...or for those times when you need to use an internal (expansion) grip on smaller sized bowls, turned boxes and similar projects.

A: Drive Center grips the left end of your spindle turning workpieces. Use a mallet to drive its spurs into the center point of your turning blank, then attach it to your Shopsmith’s quill spindle with a single 5/32” setscrew.

B: Cup Center slips into the #2 Morse taper receiver on the tailstock (right) end of your Shopsmith. We recommend that you apply a lubricant such as paste wax or beeswax to the center before turning.

C: Live Center features precision ball bearings for friction-free tip rotation without the need for lubricants. It reduces noise, runs more smoothly, won’t loosen its grip on your workpiece (as cup centers often do) or burn workpiece ends.

D: Screw Center is used for turning small workpieces from 1” to 5” long without using a tailstock center.

E: 3-3/4” Faceplate is made of cast iron, precision machined and then balanced for smooth, wobble-free running. Use it for turning small diameter bowls, vases or similar objects. The inner 1/4” dia. mounting holes will grip workpieces down to 2-3/8” dia., while the outer set will grip down to 3-1/4” in diameter.

Shopsmith’s Universal Lathe Tool Rest Will Improve Your Lathe Turning Results Perhaps

Even More Than Any Other Tool You Might Buy!

Shopsmith’s Sharpening Guide makes easy, fail-safe work of creating super-sharp edges on bench

chisels, lathe chisels and even shaper cutters

Meet the most stable, most versatile Lathe Tool Rest you’ll ind anywhere! Its unique triple-jointed design lets you swing the arm and support in any direction for positioning deep within bowls, vases or goblets - even around the back side of large turnings.

At a full 35 pounds, this heavy, cast iron system delivers rock-solid support and reach. You’ll “hog-out” huge amounts of waste quickly...or delicately produce intricate designs with super-smooth results. Vibrations, chatter and lexing are non-existent with this Rest. The added mass and adjustment lexibility of this system WILL improve your turning results.

Easy to Attach and Easier to Use

Just remove your Shopsmith’s Worktable from its Carriage, set the cast iron Mounting Plate on top of the Carriage, tighten the two bolts and go to work. Loosen the 18-1/4” long Support Base Arm and rotate it a full 3600. Move it left or right and lock it irmly at any point along its travel. Slip the rotating Tool Support Arm into the Support Base Arm and lock it into position. The rugged steel Support Arm Post gives you a full 2-1/8” of up-down travel... allowing you to position Shopsmith’s standard Tool Rest anywhere from 1/2” below to 1-1/2” above your workpiece centerline. An adjustable stop collar and height setscrew let you return to a pre-set height instantly. Any of the four available Shopsmith Tool Rests (or our Lathe Steady Rest) will lock into the tool support arm with a convenient third lever.

Everything You Need to Achieve Improved Turning Results

Includes: • 10” diameter by 1” thick cast iron Mounting Base with precision machined support base bearing surfaces • Rigid, 18-1/4” by 1-3/8” by 2-1/2” Cast Iron Support Base Arm with a 7-3/8” travel slot for wide-ranging adjustments • 4-3/8” by 1-1/2” Steel Tool Support Arm with 1” dia. steel post and adjustable depth-stop collar • Three quick-acting Locking Levers • and all

necessary mounting hardware. Fits MARK 7 and all Mark V Models

Sharp chisels are essential for achieving the best results on your joinery or turning tasks. Unfortunately, this is easier said

than done for many woodworkers. But thanks to this innovative device, you’ll be able to achieve the super-sharp edges you need quickly, easily and without guesswork.

Simply mount the guide to your Shopsmith’s worktable (for sharpening bench chisels or shaper cutters) – or to your extension table (for sharpening lathe parting tools, skews, gouges and roundnose lathe chisels) -- then use your sanding disc with PSA-backed sandpaper

discs (not Velcro®-backed) to do the sharpening. A template is included for drilling the mounting holes, as is a printed table outlining the best angle settings for sharpening various tools.

Position the tool against the appropriate station wall of the guide (as described in the instructions) and use the guide’s curved angle quadrant to set the perfect angle for each type of tool.

Shopsmith’s unique Conical Sanding Disc does things conventional discs simply can’t do

Achieve smooth, swirl-free edge and surface-sanding results with this remarkable Disc!

• Joint the edges of highly igured woods without tearing or chipping

• Produce smooth, superior quality gluing edges on all types of sheet goods

• Shave end grains to precise length with glass-smooth results

• Sharpen the edges of planer & jointer knives with amazing results

Although this may be a strange-looking disc, make no mistake about it – it will help you achieve the kinds of astonishing results on the edges (up to 4” wide) and surfaces of workpieces that you cannot achieve with conventional sanding discs.

Here’s how it worksThe disc is made with a unique, 4° tapered shape that begins 1-1/4” from the center of the disc and continues to its outside edges. This creates its unusual cone-like shape. When you use the disc, its infeed side (NOT the outfeed side) contacts the workpiece surface at a 90° angle, parallel to the grain of the wood. You start by tilting your Shopsmith’s worktable to the same 40° angle and use your rip fence or miter gauge to keep your stock moving in a straight line. As your stock moves past the disc, a 1/4” wide vertical band is created where the full workpiece edge (up to 4” high) is in contact with the abrasives. Within this band, the abrasives and workpiece edge are both moving parallel with one another and in opposite directions. As a result, you achieve a straight-line, swirl-free surface.

No edge is too difficult. This amazing disc will even shave dificult, highly igured birdseye or burled woods without tearing or chipping. And, where plywood, particleboard, MDF and laminate-covered composites will literally eat-up jointer knives, NOT SO with the conical disc.

Remove up to a full 1/8” in a single pass! Where you can almost count on getting poor results with a full 1/8” jointer pass, this is not the case with the conical disc. Prove it to yourself! Just grab a piece of igured wood or composite material, make your set-up for a 1/8” pass, follow all operational and safety instructions and shove it through! Prepare to be amazed!

Keep your woodworking, gardening and other household cutting tools sharp with Shopsmith’s

Grinding Wheel Guard and Grinding WheelsAs a woodworker, you already know that only sharp tools will help you produce the best results with the least effort. Your lathe chisels, bench chisels, and plane irons all have cutting edges that WILL become dulled and MAY get nicked. And that means they need to be sharpened periodically to help you achieve the best results on whatever job you’re doing. To install, simply position the neck of the grinding wheel guard over your Shopsmith’s quill housing and tighten the single 5/32” capscrew. Install the preferred grinding wheel and you’re ready to start grinding or honing all types of edged tools. In addition to sharpening your woodworking tool edges, you can also use it to:• Restore the damaged tips of your screwdrivers• Flatten the ends of punches• Round the ends of bolts you may have sawn to a shorter length, in order to remove any burrs you’ve created• Sharpen gardening and other outdoor tools such as lawnmower blades, axes, trimming shears and more• And these are just the beginning. The guard comes with a generous-sized, easily adjustable tool rest that provides positive control of your grinding angles. Once it’s adjusted (to any angle up to 90°) simply lock it irmly into position with the large, over-sized wing nut. Use the rest in a vertical position when sharpening chisels or other narrow edged tools. If you prefer, its notched leading edge can be adjusted to surround the wheel for added tool support. Then move it into a horizontal position when sharpening plane irons or other wider tools. The high-impact, acrylic see-through shield with steel spark arrestor are fully adjustable to provide maximum protection for every set-up. To get started, simply install the preferred grinding wheel on the special 5/8” wheel arbor (we recommend using Shopsmith’s 13”arbor wrench – See page 23), attach the guard, then the wheel to your Shopsmith and start grinding and/or sharpening.

555470 Shopsmith Grinding Wheel Guard ..................................................................................$69.39

Includes grinding wheel guard, see-through shield with steel spark arrestor, 5/8” grinding wheel arbor and detailed, easy-to-follow installation and use instructions.

The Shopsmith Biscuit Joiner – Your better way to join boards together

Most woodworkers agree…biscuit joiners produce stronger, tighter joints than dowels…and help you create those joints with improved ease and speed.

The Shopsmith version of this amazing tool is both simpler to use in many ways…and certainly more affordable than its portable electric counterparts. Just set your MARK 7 or Mark V up in drill press position, slip the Joiner’s blade arbor over your quill shaft, tighten its housing around your quill collar and you’re set to go.

It’s fully adjustable for #0, #10, and #20 biscuits and (unlike most portable units) includes a built-in dust collection hook-up to help you keep your shop clean. A quick turn of the depth stop set screws adjusts the Joiner for the correct size biscuit, while the two sharp pointed positioning pins and the non-slip surfaces keep your workpiece from slipping during slot cutting.

Workpiece alignment is assured by the biscuit’s uniform shape and size...and by the precision of the slots cut by the Joiner. You can even slide the mating boards back-and-forth during assembly

to make lateral adjustments!

The facts about biscuit’s strengthThe beechwood biscuits start swelling as soon as they contact the glue, creating a super-tight it that locks the joined boards together - permanently. Biscuits are constructed to maximize stronger long grain gluing surfaces, while half of a dowel’s gluing surface relies on short (end) grain surfaces for its strength. As a result, biscuits are proven to be stronger than dowels when you need tough, durable joinery for wood, MDF or particleboard projects. (Includes carbide-tipped Cutting Blade, non-slip surfaces, instruction manual and [25] #20 Biscuits)

Power Coupler Makes The Connection between Your MARK V/MARK 7 & Your Special Purpose Tools

The Shopsmith Power Coupler is required to connect your Special Purpose Tools (SPT’s) to your Shopsmith and is made of a virtually unbreakable plastic compound. However, unfortunately, we have learned through the years that they can be easy to misplace or lose. And when that happens, using your Shopsmith Special Purpose Tools becomes impossible...that’s why having a spare around the shop is highly recommended. After all, you can’t exactly go to your local hardware store or “big box” and pick one up on a moment’s notice!

The Complete Kit listed below comes standard with all Mark Vs/MARK 7s manufactured after April, 1985. It includes the Coupler and two splined metal Drive Hubs (one each for the upper and lower Drive spindles on your Mark V/MARK 7 Headstock). Additional Couplers, Drive Hubs and Accessory Hubs can also be purchased individually. Order your spare Coupler Kits, Couplers and Hubs now to be sure you’re always prepared for the swiftest machine changeovers. The time will come that you’ll be glad you’re Prepared!

Service or tune-up your Mark V and Special Purpose Tools to enjoy their full capabilities

Add power to your older MARK V…or replace your machine’s malfunctioning Motor and bring

it back to top performanceIf you own an early model 500 MARK V… and it was made before June, 1961 (Magna Engineering serial number 371347 or earlier), it could beneit signiicantly by upgrading its 3/4 hp motor to a more powerful, state-of-the-art, 1-1/8 hp motor.

If your MARK V was manufactured after June of 1961…and it gets a lot of heavy use...has been struck by an electrical surge...or has been abused by a prior owner, it could be time to replace your motor. Just remember -- no matter how well a motor is built (ours are built by the best in the business), they simply won’t last forever.

If your current Motor is not running – or operating improperly… replacing it with a new Motor is likely to get you “back in business” pretty quickly...with the additional muscle you need to tackle even the toughest operations with ease!

How to tell if your Motor should be replacedBOGGING/LACK OF POWER If your Motor lacks the power it once had or bogs down when cutting heavy boards, it’s probably time for a replacement

FAILS TO START If you have experienced this problem and have already replaced the switch with no success, it’s time to replace your Motor.

SQUEAKING OR HUMMING Squeaking is a sign of bearing failure and humming indicates that the motor is struggling to start. If the Motor still squeaks or hums after removing the Drive Belt, it should be replaced ASAP.

SMOKING OR FOUL ODOR Either of these problems are an indication that the Motor should be replaced as soon as possible.
