Hi Guys, thought I should show you my Gingery Shaper.
I'll be using it soon to cut the notches in the new tool bar I plan on making.
Have had it done for about a month, people that see is wonder why the shaper and not a mill, well,
I have $248.77 in it including the motor, a mill might be A LITTLE more that, plus this was more fun to build than the lathe, and that's what I like to do, and its fun to watch running.
If you look at the bottom left front by the off/on emergency switch, there is a little push button switch to toggle the ram as I'm setting it up, other wise it off-on-off-on-off-on, I ran one many years ago and wished that would of had a toggle switch.
Need to build a good vice yet to hold parts so that on the next to do list.
Thanks,
Tim
