Adapting Model 510 Outfeed Table to Model 520 (Pro Fence System) machines
 
From Rich Bullock, Gladstone, MO:
 
I have converted my MARK V Model 510 to a 520 (Pro Fence System machine). This week, I wanted to use the Outfeed Table that I had purchased several years ago but there appears to be no provision for attaching it to my upgraded machine. The question is, should I use the old 510 tube that the Outfeed Table use to hook up to, then use a tap on the upper surface of the 520 bars to provide the attachment point...or does Shopsmith have a new brackets for the Outfeed Table?

You're in luck. Special brackets are available for converting the Model 510 Outfeed Table for use on Model 520 (Pro Fence System) machines. They are available in our printed Accessory Catalog or on-line by ordering part number 521651 Support Table Conversion Kit - it's only $10.50.
