Metal shaper ecological niece and value?
tom osselton:
I have the Atlas 7b shaper that I inherited from my father he didn't have a mill and was using it for his steam engine he was building it seems to work nice but we would love to get a extention for the table so we can use the dividing head.
PekkaNF:
How do you use dividing head and what sort of thingy that is?
Is that for splines and that sort of stuff?

gerritv:
would an angle plate bolted to the side provide enough extension for the dividing head?

It's possible or a stiff enough plate on top deck the extension I saw before was a right angle that fit on the front.

Maybe something like this

This looks interesting and doable.

Now the interesting thing to me is that which way the power stoke should be.
To me it looks like dividing plate forward for ease of handling and solid "Tail stock" to work against? That would b reverse working order of shaper: Power stroke on return.
Or the indexing head has to handle power stoke thrust and shaper is workinh in normal mode?
