Does any other brand of miter gauge fit on the Mark V? Sorry for the question but I want to get into woodworking and the Shopsmith I acquired if missing the Miter Gauge. So need to know if I can only use a replacement from Shopsmith or another brand.
Thanks
Shopsmith's miter bars are not industry standard. They are a little less wide. Thus a standard miter guage will not work. However, a number of miter guage makers make a shopsmith version, including Incra. Further, there are almost always at least one shopsmith miter guage on sale on ebay.

In addition to the obvious choice of ordering a new miter gauge from Shopsmith, or the excellent suggestion of getting one at eBay, Shopsmith does sell their bars alone, in case you already have a favorite miter gauge that you might like to try and modify. But to your original question, Yes - Incra sells their Model 2000 (I believe, that's the model #) specifically setup for use on the Mark V. This is available directly from Shopsmith or from Woodpeckers, and I would imagine most anybody else that deals in Incra could order it in for you. Enjoy!

Thank you all, I had checked out eBay and Shopsmith so I knew about those locations but did not know about the different size or that Incra sold a model for Shopsmith.
Now that I am aware of the different size I can shop around with a lot more knowledge. Thank you for helping someone who is trying to get into woodworking because I find it very relaxing and lots of fun..
