Join boards A better way with
Shopsmith’s Biscuit Joiner
You’ll get tighter, stronger joints with the
Shopsmith Biscuit Joiner than you could ever
hope for with dowels and similar methods.
Just set your MARK V up in Drill Press mode,
attach the Biscuit Joiner and cut the small, half-
oval slots in the edges of your mating boards.
Glue the special, football-shaped Biscuits into
the slots, clamp and allow to dry.
The highly compressed beechwood Biscuits
start swelling as soon as they contact the glue,
creating a super-tight fit that locks the joined
boards together – permanently.
A simple setting lets you control the depth-
of-cut for the three different-sized biscuits.
Workpiece alignment is assured by the Biscuit’s
uniform shape and size ... and by the precision
of the slots cut by the Joiner.
You can even slide the mating boards back-
and-forth to make lateral adjustments.

Experienced woodworkers know the router is
one of the most versatile of all power tools. Use
it to create a variety of strong, attractive joints
like sliding dovetails, rabbets and dadoes; to
hollow-out boxes, trays and similar projects; to
add decorative edges to furniture or architectural
moldings; even to create freehand designs for signs,
wall plaques and crafts projects of all types.
With a few limitations, the Shopsmith Router
Package will perform all of these operations. It
just does them a bit differently. First of all, it’s
used with the MARK V in the Drill Press mode
of operation.
The 1/2
˝
shaft Carbide-Tipped Router Bits
slip into a special 1/2
˝
Router Chuck, which
attaches directly to the MARK V Spindle. The
moving Bit remains in the same place while the
workpiece is moved through the cut.
When Routing with this MARK V setup, you’ll
enjoy a much better view of the work in progress
than with a hand-held router or router table.
A see-through Shield protects your eyes from
flying dust and chips and keeps your fingers
out of harm’s way.
Plus, with this setup, you’ll also be able to
use your MARK V’s Rip Fence and Miter Gauge
when performing repetitive cuts with or across
the grain.
The Shopsmith Router Package includes:

plus
five Carbide-Tipped, 1/2

shank Router Bits

typical with routing operations.

or 1/4
˝
shank bits. Both models attach
directly to your MARK V’s 5/8
˝
Spindle.
B.
The Clear Shield
clamps around the MARK
V Quill with a single setscrew and provides
both front eye protection and a rear brush
that can be adjusted to meet the top of your
workpiece, the MARK V Rip Fence or the
Shopsmith Shaper/Drum Sander Fence for
added dust collection efficiency.
