This section of the Shopsmith Catalog is devoted to helping you keep
your MARK V and Special Purpose Tools operating at their peak. The
easiest and best way for you to ensure that your machines are performing
up to standards is to follow the guidelines for periodic maintenance in
your Owner’s Manuals. Doing this will help you avoid most of the problems
which might occur.
In those rare instances when you may need to purchase a replacement
part (usually at the recommendation of our Technical Services Staff), this
special Parts Price List will help you identify the items you need and provide
their part numbers and current prices.
It is important that you follow the Periodic Maintenance Schedule in
your MARK V manual. We’ve also included a table here that describes
the ten most common problems encountered by MARK V users – and
their remedies. If you have a problem with your MARK V, look to this
table (or the Troubleshooting Chart in your Owner’s Manual) first for
the solution. If you are unable to find the solution you need here, just
call our TOLL-FREE Technical Services Hotline at
1-800-762-7555
for
the answers you need.
