Metal shaper ecological niece and value?

<< < (2/4) > >>

PekkaNF:
Jesh. Sometimes you find shapers in 200-400€ range, but most of the time they are way too large. This is smaller.

So small relieve like at the bottom of the dovetail and V-grooves are their forte and pretty much suck on everything else?

I do not expect shaper to do pocketing  :lol:

How accurate they tend to be? I mean how close to straight/V/dovetail surface I get if I make a block to color/check V:s or such features?

I've given this information before but the NEME_s. org site has a copy of the Ian Bradley book The Shaping Machine.

This gives the words and music on the particular model for which you want information

PekkaNF:
Thank you all.

I thought that I'm not hot for it, but got two more pictures and it looks almost unused. He told me that it is Atlas 7B and table has no dents, vice and tool holders might be somewhere there to wait for picking up.

Found this one, some basic stuff

I'm going to visit to see it with some money in my pocket.
