Shopsmith Mark V Router Table

[John Morris]

I am not in the market for a router table, I sold mine last fall, don't need one, but I just thought I'd share my amazement with what Shopsmith has available for our machines. I did not know they made a router table, very cool. Anyone own one? @Artie ?

I do not. I believe you have to supply a separate router with them, kinda makes it a separate machine.

Thanks Artie, I figured you'd have to add your own router, but the table looks like a great fit, I am assuming it mounts to it's own accessory base, and you can just hang it on the wall. Pretty durned cool.

Mine is the free standing model. It's this one.

It's called an over arm pin router. But, can be used as a normal router table with a router hung under the table. I just use the pin router function.

I believe it is, not sure the free standing one is still available, new.

Note: The Mark V Router Table requires a separate router motor. The router motor must not exceed 3 hp. The router base must be round and not exceed 6-1/2-inches in diameter.

The SS arbor is horizontal and would make it really difficult to run a router table.   They do have a router collet but it's normally use as a vertical (drill press) or horizontal (horizontal boring) mode.
