Double Tilt is the Perfect Upgrade For Shopsmith Owners Who Prefer the Under-Table Approach

Tilt Both Ways For Both Over-Table and Under-Table Operation
Many woodworkers prefer the more conventional, under-table approach to routing and shaping. There are a couple of great reasons for this. One reason is that with under-table operation, the workpiece is positioned between your hands and the bit or cutter, providing superior protection and safety. For drum sanding the drum is coming up from under the table so the pattern lines are on top and you have an unobstructed view of your workpiece.

Another important reason comes into play when you're drum sanding, routing or shaping an interior cut-out area of a workpiece. With the over-table method, if you need to remove the workpiece for an occasional inspection (or other reason) during operation, you'll have to retract your drum, bit or cutter to do so. As a result, you'll then also have to re-set your depth-of-cut each time you return to your task. With an under-table set-up, these retraction and re-setting operations won't be necessary. Just lift the workpiece over the drum, bit or cutter.

Upgrading is a Quick, Simple Process
All that's required is the replacement of your Mark V base and arm assembly and headrest assembly with the two new base & arm assemblies and the two vertical worktable support tubes. The entire process takes about an hour and requires only a few simple tools that every woodworker probably has in their shop.

Here's What's Included with Your Upgrade Kit:
� Two New Base & Arm Assemblies with (2) Pivot Bases, (2) Pivot Arms, (2) Vertical Lock Knobs & (2) Horizontal Lock Knobs
� Two Accessory Mount Lock Handles
� Two New Double-Rack Worktable Posts with Locking Pins
� Hardware
� Comprehensive Instructions

Note: For MARK V 520, 510, 505 / MARK 4 Only -- The MARK V 500 does not have interchangeable table support tubes.

Note: Older MARK V 500 machines (produced before 1972) that have been upgraded to the MARK V 520 or 510 table system will require two new 1-3/4" diameter bench tubes (504163). The old 1-7/8" diameter bench tubes will not fit in the new base castings.

Note: (link to Shop Deputy page) Use the single-tilt parts, Mark V base and arm assembly and headrest assembly, you have just removed to make a Shop Deputy for even greater workshop versatility.
