6 inch shaper
allanchrister:
That is a fantastic job, beautifully finished. Would it be possible to share the drawings...I would love a shaper, but they are very rare here in Germany and very expensive to ship (or even to travel to examine a purchase). I guess i could make many of the smaller parts on my lathe and mill (both desktop) and could subcontract out the larger parts.
The drawings would be a greta resource for the group.
hope I'm not asking too much,.....please..

Hi Airbus,
would really like a link to the plans - I looked on the modelengine BBS and found that all 3 references were pictures - no plans. i looked in the files and all 3 references also gave the same set of pics. Can anyone help?

Did you have any trouble with twisting/warping metal after welding?

I have seen a lot of fab jobs before, but that takes them all by storm. You are truly a craftsman in the finest. My hat is off to you. The machine you built is a "Pootatuck Shaper". If any one would like to have the original plans with dimensions , I would be glad to post them. Just let me know. The original was made of cast iron. I was going to check out at the foundry near me about what it would run to pour the parts. Maybe some day. Again a beautiful job.
