So I've heard! I've definitely made some nice stuff with it Though i WILL say, a shaped flat surface with a shearing bit is the nicest finish I've ever seen, I'm surprised folks won't pay extra money for that rather than the 1/2 circles on all our tooling!You can make anything with a shaper, except money.
No, I made a lot when I sold mine! Lol.You can make anything with a shaper, except money.
The Moore book, Foundations of Mechanical accuracy states that a precision surface plate is best done with a single point with a planer. Of course those guys are scraping that down to single digit millionths of an inch stupid kinds of ranges.So I've heard!

Is this one of those chinese No3 arbor presses? If so, you'll have to let us know what you think of it!I'd ordered this and it came 2 days later. It is a decent "should work well enough" tool,
I would like to put this out there and maybe it may give others an idea as option. I have a lower bench that makes using this much easier. It brings the tool lower so its at a more comfortable working height. All the guides are delrin as is the broach holder which is slotted for adjustments as needed. I used a 1" Acme rod as the pusher and when the broaching is complete the broach passes into a canvas bag below. It has a socket welded on top that I use to run the acme rod in and out.Oh, no, I'm joking. You were right, an arbor press is a better idea. Just the (self-embraced) 'reputation' of this forum is "The solution to all problems is to buy more tools!" that I was teasing you for I feel like we are the world's worst support group

Yep! I got it from vevor com, as I was ordering something else as well.Is this one of those chinese No3 arbor presses? If so, you'll have to let us know what you think of it!
