Lift Assist (for MARK 7 with PowerPro and MARK V's made after 1972)

Effortlessly raise your Shopsmith MARK 7 or upgraded MARK V with Lift Assist.

Designed specifically for Shopsmith MARK 7 models and MARK V tools manufactured after 1972 that have been upgraded to the PowerPro headstock, this Lift Assist system uses a powerful gas cylinder to reduce lifting effort when tilting your machine into vertical position. Whether you're converting to drill press mode or storing vertically, the Lift Assist makes transitions smooth and controlled—reducing strain on your back and improving safety, especially with the added weight of the PowerPro motor.

Key Features:

• Designed for MARK 7 and MARK V (post-1972) with PowerPro headstock

• Heavy-duty gas spring supports headstock and carriage

• Makes lifting easier, safer, and faster

• Perfect for frequent tool conversions or vertical storage

• Includes all required mounting hardware and instructions

• Upgraded Lift-Assist also provides a quick disconnect which allows the MARK 7 to be easily tilted left for under-table operations

Fits:

• MARK 7 (factory PowerPro)

• MARK V (manufactured after 1972) with PowerPro Upgrade

Does NOT Fit:

• MARK V units made before 1972

• Any machine with the original (non-PowerPro) headstock

NOTE: If you own Shopsmith's steel storage cabinets, with the lift-assist only one of them will slide under the MARK 7 / MARK V for storage (if the casters are removed from the steel storage cabinets, two will fit).
