Shopsmith's multi-purpose woodworking machines are available in three different versions - A Mark 7 version with an electronically-controlled DVR (Direct Variable Reluctance) motor and digital electronic speed-change mechanism - and two Mark V versions with a conventional AC motor and mechanical speed-change mechanism. The specifications in the chart below will help you select the configuration that best suits the types of woodworking you're planning to do.
The chart below shows the motor & power specifications for the three options, including the Mark 7 model and the two Mark V models (Model 510 & Model 520). This chart also includes the basic machine specifications that are common to all Shopsmith machines, regardless of version.
