Shaper

Bernd:
First, nice job on getting her up on the stand. All it takes is some wooden boards and then keep "walking" it up from side to side. I usally use a long crow bar to lift up a machine to put a board under it, but it looked like you were restrained a bit by room.

Second, that's getting to be a nice looking piece of equipment there. Plus getting a good finish off that must be pleasing. I think you'll be glad in the long run that you got it.

I've never seen SS do that before. Wonder if it's some odd SS aloy or something. How does it machine in other machines, mill, lathe? Is the tool in the shaper ground properly?

Bernd

CrewCab:
and ........... have you machined more than one piece yet ............ perhaps all the batch isn't the same.

Darren:
Bernd, it machines lovely and smooth, no probs there. These faults are in the metal itself. I took about mill off, sorry 1mm to you guys that get confused..... :clap:
thinking it was just surface rubbish. but it's not it seems to go right through.

CC, good point, I'll check some other lengths...thanks
