NOMENCLATURE
The Shopsmith MARK V will perform all the
functions of a Table Saw, Disc Sander, Drill
Press, Horizontal Boring Machine, and Wood
Lathe.
Basically, the MARK V is a rigid Bench that
holds the Headstock and a Worktable System.
The upper part of this Bench can be positioned
horizontally or vertically. The Headstock and
the Worktable slide independently and are
positioned along the Upper or Way Tubes.
You can mount Accessories to the Headstock
and operate them at different speeds. The
Worktable can be positioned over, under or
beside these accessories to hold stock at vari-
ous angles. In this way, the Bench, Headstock,
Worktable, and Accessories combine to make
a unique, capable and versatile Woodwork-
ing System.

1. To check the Headrest Lock, grasp the
Way Tubes near the Tie Bar and pull up,
as demonstrated by the Right Hand in
Figure 1.
2. If there is "give" in the Lock, unlock the
Handle and use Medium Straight Blade

needs adjusting. To adjust the Lock, use
a 1/2" Socket with an Extension and
Ratchet Handle to tighten or loosen the
Nut located at the back of the Carriage
Assembly, as shown in Figure 2.
