Built specifically for Shopsmith MARK V and MARK 7 machines, this premium 10" thin-kerf rip blade was manufactured in Germany by the original OEM supplier to Shopsmith. Shopsmith is now out of business—making these blades no longer in production and increasingly hard to find. Branded for Shopsmith and engineered to exacting standards, this blade represents true industrial-grade European manufacturing.
Designed for fast, efficient ripping in both hard and soft woods, the thin-kerf profile reduces cutting resistance, requires less motor load, and delivers smoother feed rates—especially important on multi-purpose machines like the MARK V and MARK 7.
Precision-cut laser-etched expansion slots dampen vibration and noise while maintaining blade stability under load. A patent-pending balancing process ensures exceptional accuracy, longer blade life, reduced wear on machine components, and noticeably quieter operation.
Each tooth is tipped with industrial chrome carbide, tri-metal brazed, and precision mirror-finished for exceptional sharpness, clean cuts, and extended edge life. While optimized for ripping wood, this is a true professional-grade blade capable of cutting hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, OSB, MDF, laminate, melamine, composite decking, moldings, and even non-ferrous metals.
If you’re running a Shopsmith and want a blade that matches the machine’s original intent and quality, this is it.
