Good Afternoon,
I picked up a NOS Shopsmith Mark VII last Saturday and need your help. I am unable to identify the two (2) parts in the pictures. Anyone help?
Thanks from Georgia!

Looks like part of a Zyliss lathe set up.

They are both parts of a ZVise.

If these are the only parts that you have and you want to get rid of them, let me know. If you have the rest of the set up you'll come to really appreciate it.

Can it be that you have actually acquired a NOS Mark VII? If it is an original 1960's era unit and not the newer Mark 7, you have something truly rare. Any chance you can share pictures of your find?

If you would take the time to view the video link you would see what it is. NO! It is not a rare Mark VII part.

New Old Stock (NOS) as a brand new 2013 Mark 7 which was never setup and used. Doubt many exist, IMHO. Also came with a new bandsaw, minus table and DC3300 dust collector, with hoses and fittings. Paid $1750, good deal?
