Shopsmith Mark V Parts?

[Russell Neyman]

I'm repairing my grandfather's Mark V in hopes of enticing my sister into the Woodturning craft.

From the manufacturer? http://www.shopsmith.com/service/index.htm

I don't believe Shopsmith still supports the Mark V.

Russell,

If your looking for parts, ebay usually has several auctions going at the same time for whatever you might be looking for. It's a decent source for Mark V parts with a number of west coast guys that seem to have stuff all the time. Also, you might try the Shopsmith forum and inquire there. There's a few guys that post over there that rebuild and sell parts. Bill Mayo in FL is one name that comes to mind. http://www.shopsmith.com/ss_forum/

i just replaced the speed control rack gear on my Mark V with parts ordered from Shopsmith. They're still in business and suport the Mark V with parts.

Thanks, John. I'm in a remote area of Arizona this week with only a smartphone, and it's difficult to search effectively. This is a shot of the broken speed assembly. I did find a link to "the 25 most ordered Mark V replacement parts."

I would try Craigslists, I see Shopsmiths selling for anywhere from $200 to the sky is the limit. It might be more economical to buy a junker for parts to refurbish the one you are working on.
