Shopsmith, a Dayton-based manufacturer, specializes in multi-function woodworking systems, most notably the Mark V and its successor, the Mark 7. The original machine debuted in 1953 and has since been refined with enhancements such as a higher-powered motor, a two-bearing quill, larger tables, and safer, more convenient features. More than 600,000 Mark V units have been sold worldwide, and many remain in operation; the Mark 7 consolidates several functions into a compact package powered by the PowerPro headstock. Its products target woodworkers seeking a space-efficient, all-in-one solution for home workshops who can operate multiple functions from a single control interface. In March 2026, the company announced the Total Machine Renewal Program to support ongoing service and renewal for existing machines. Operating from Dayton, Ohio, Shopsmith is a small- to mid-sized manufacturing enterprise focused on woodworking equipment.
