I was just gifted a 510 from my brother, and needed an upper and lower table saw guard. I found one on ebay, but being new to SS, I wasn't sure what models have interchangeable parts, so I asked the seller if his item would work on my machine and he said it would. Well, I got the guards and tried putting them on. The lower fits, but I cant figure out how the upper would attach. I've included pics to see if anybody can identify if these guards are for a 500 or 510, or if there is something available to make these work on a 510


Thanks for any help

That upper and lower saw guard are for a Mark V-500.

I can assue that there isn't a way to use a 500 guard on a 510, is there?

Correct, because the 510 table is larger the 500 upper guard won't mount properly.
The 510 guard has a riving knife that goes through the table insert and attaches to the lower guard. The 500 upper guard attaches to a block (included with yours) that attaches to the back of the table tie bar.

Note that Ebay does not endorse "buyer beware" in my experience. Depending on the product description and the Q&A between you and the seller, the error might be the seller's responsibility. The operative phrase is "Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing." You can contact the seller, Ebay, or both for resolution. (I'm not saying the seller is responsible in this case, I don't know exactly what was communicated.) Ebay does, to my certain knowledge, hold sellers accountable for incorrect product descriptions.
