In your opinion what is the best add-on the has been offered by Shopsmith for ease of use in the shop? To get the ball rolling on this thread, I would like to mention the remote control for the Dust collector. It is one less cord to trip over in the workshop,enables the woodworker to turn the dust collecor on before turning on the Mark V, and allows the dust collector to be turned off on the way out of the workshop.

For ease of use, I vote for the Lift-Assist.

An accurate, high quality fence system.
If you have a 520, you already have it.

Has to be the casters/wheels. Can't imagine lugging that thing around the shop without them.

That's an easy one. I currently use a wireless remote control (which I attached with a chain near the on/off switch of the Mark V) and simply press the button to turn dust collector on and off. It's about the size of a garage door opener. Works great!

Wow! These are all great choices! I have all but the 520 fence and rail system, and I think that the three that I have are pretty much equal in answer for the question, and lets knot forget the add-on dust collection systems that they have developed!
