Shopsmith's miter bars are not industry standard. They are a little less wide.
Thus a standard miter guage will not work. However, a number of miter guage
makers make a shopsmith version, including Incra. Further, there are almost
always at least one shopsmith miter guage on sale on ebay.

In addition to the obvious choice of ordering a new miter gauge from
Shopsmith, or the excellent suggestion of getting one at eBay, Shopsmith
does sell their bars alone, in case you already have a favorite miter gauge
that you might like to try and modify. But to your original question, Yes -
Incra sells their Model 2000 (I believe, that's the model #) specifically
setup for use on the Mark V. This is available directly from Shopsmith or
from Woodpeckers, and I would imagine most anybody else that deals in Incra
could order it in for you. Enjoy!

Thank you all,
I had checked out eBay and Shopsmith so I knew about those locations but did
not know about the different size or that Incra sold a model for Shopsmith.
Now that I am aware of the different size I can shop around with a lot more
knowledge. Thank you for helping someone who is trying to get into
woodworking because I find it very relaxing and lots of fun..
