555970 MARK V – MOUNTED OVERARM PIN ROUTER
12
BEFORE YOU BEGIN . . .
It’s a good idea to clean all major metal parts
with mineral spirits to remove any dirt or
grease residue. Any burrs found on parts
should be removed with a fine file or emery
cloth. If required, clean your router motor
according to the instructions in its Owner’s
Manual.
Wax and buff the Worktable surface, apply-
ing the wax sparingly, then buffing it out
thoroughly. If you apply too much wax or
fail to buff it out properly, the wax will mix
with the sawdust you generate, impede the
movement of the Overarm Router ’s parts
and leave residue on your workpieces.
Remove all accessories from the MARK V’s
Headstock and prepare the machine as you
would for Drill Press operations. Remove the
Worktable from the Carriage (this will make
it easier for you to raise the machine to ver-
tical position).
Slide the Headstock all the way to the left
until it rests against the Way Tube Tie Bar.
Tighten the Headstock Lock lever.
Position the Carriage so the distance between
the Carriage and the Headstock is about 15".
Tighten the Carriage Lock Handle. Raise the
MARK V into Drill Press position. NOTE:
Shopsmith’s Lift-Assist Accessory will make
this task much easier.
WHICH MOUNTING HOLES ?
Before mounting the Overarm Router to the
MARK V, the two Mounting Brackets (11)
must be bolted to the Arm of the tool with
four 5-1/4" long x 5/16" dia. socket head cap
screws, washers and wing nuts (finger-tight
only at this time). Do not install your router
motor yet.
There are six pairs of mounting holes in the
Arm, providing a total of five mounting po-
sitions in the Brackets. For most operations,
the 2nd and 3rd set of holes nearest the busi-
ness-end of the Arm are used as shown in
Figure 1. If you need more throat depth,
choose the four holes that best suit your
needs.
NOTE
When mounting, drop the capscrews
through the TOP of the Brackets and into
the Arm, with flat washers and wing nuts
on the bottom. This way, the bolts won’t
drop out of position when you remove the
wing nuts and washers to change Arm po-
sitions.
INSTALL THE
DEPTH STOP ROD (6)
Thread the 1/4"-20 wing nut onto the Depth
Stop Rod, then thread the Rod (with wing
nut) into the threaded hole in the top of the
Dovetail Slide.
Once the Brackets are mounted to the Arm,
use the Depth Control Handle (8) to “lower”
your Motor Brackets (4) to the “bottom” of
their travel in the Dovetail Assembly
(7) . . . and unscrew the Depth Stop Rod (6)
so it is all the way to the “top” of its travel.
