November 30, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_276768 So I stumbled across a deal that was too good to pass up. I found a Mark V - 510 with a bandsaw, Belt Sander, Jointer, and a whole bunch of extra stuff. Chucks, Turning Chisels, dust collector hookups, sanding discs, blades, sand paper, even an apron and windbreaker. Lots of parts / pieces, extra support tables, 2 fences, manuals, instructional videos…the list goes on. This will probably spend most of its time as a drill press or lathe which are the two big things I didn’t have before. but the belt sander has some potential. Report

November 30, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_276772 SWEET score. It looks almost new. Appears quite at home in that new shop. Plenty of resources on this site to help answer questions, give tips etc. Report
November 30, 20214 yr Author Popular Post comment_276774 It is VERY lightly used. Apparently the guy got it, built a picture frame, a shadow box, and a couple of pens. Decided it wasn’t for him and put it in storage Report

December 1, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_276799 Good on ya @Static_LV. I wouldn't worry about the missing mortiser attachment. IMO, the table, in the drill press configuration, isn't robust enough for mortising operations without some serious auxiliary bracing. Report

December 1, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_276872 And what a wonderful thing it is Static! Nice find. I love mine in drill press mode. I used it a little as lathe, I really liked the height the turning was at. It felt more natural turning at waist level instead of sternum level like the standard lathes are. Report
December 1, 20214 yr Author Popular Post comment_276879 I am honestly not much of a turner but at least now I have the option to make huge messes out of spinning wood with a sharpened stick Report
