Every 25 hours of run-time your Shopsmith Mark V's headstock needs to be oiled in two places. This can be done with the headstock on the machine, but to make this a little easier to film and to show how easy it really is to remove for more in-depth maintenance, we'll go ahead and pull the headstock off. While it's off we'll pull the V-Belt, just to show how easy that is, for the day when you'll eventually need to replace yours.
