Hello Again,
To Get Started, we want to help you get to know your machine. KNOWING WHICH MODEL MACHINE YOU OWN IS IMPORTANT so you can identify your machine model in case you need to speak with Customer Service regarding assistance/advise on:
- Servicing your machine;
- Ordering Accessories, Upgrades and Service Parts.
See Our New Video Showcasing Key Machine Differences
The most obvious difference between machine models is the size and configuration of the main work tables as show in the three photos below:
MODEL 500 WORK TABLE
- About 14-1/4 by 18-1/4 inches
MODEL 510 WORK TABLE
- About 17-1/2 by 22 inches
- 48% Bigger than the Model 500 Work Table
MODEL 520 & MARK 7 WORK TABLE
- About 17-1/2 by 22 inches (Same size as Model 510)
- Features Extruded Rails to allow for Easier Fence Mounting and Direct Reading Scale.
