Got this beauty for scrap metal prices. It’s old, how old? I don’t know but I would guess early 20th century. It’s a little rusty but everything moves and I think I can get some flat belts, a sturdy electric motor and have it running. Even if it is only used to cut internal key ways it will pay for itself with the first job.

Alistair,
Cool…
Feels good watching a curl of metal come off the work-piece from a sharp tool..
Maybe old and slow compared to Numeric Tools… but, makes very sharp corners!

I hope so Phil. It sure is primitive compared to more modern ( and you know what I mean by that) shapers. I’m very keen about getting it running and making chips. It doesn’t appear to be worn out, but a little rusty in places.
