Finally got around to it 7 B shaper

[master of none]

finally getting around to posting about my 7b shaper,soon after I bought my shaper my back went out, in the last 6 months I've had 4 nerve blocks and next week I'm going to get the nerves burnt which should last 6 months to a year so enough of that.I never rebuilt a machine before and I wouldn't really call this a rebuild just striped it down looked it over for bad bearings and any worn out parts and then painted it. I surprised my self it works good has a little run out on the table ,that's my next project. I want to give special thanks to Weldo for posting that complete tear down of his shaper it saved me a lot of time and trouble and made this job a lot of fun knowing what steps to take it was sort of like painting by numbers.Any way here are some pictures.
