Hello All,
Recently picked up a nice little Logan 7” shaper. Very similar looking in many regards to an Atlas or Amanco.
However, I don’t know much about shapers. So I tried an initial cut across a bit of scrap steel, and half way across, the tooling quit cutting across the work. Now the ram continues to move forward and back, but not laterally across the work. I put a bit of pressure on the ram with my hand, and it picked up cutting again and moved across the work.
I haven’t had the time to explore further, or do any serious troubleshooting, but am wondering what is the most likely cause of this little male function, and where would I first look to fix it?
Thanks for anything someone could tell me about this nice little tool.
Glenn
