South Bend 7 inch Shaper Rebuild

<< < (2/2)

AR1911:
Very nice job!   :clap:

I acquired a SB shaper yesterday. This one is a basket case, rusty, left disassembled in the backyard.
Looks like all the pieces are there, maybe a couple I don't recall seeing.

All the small pieces are already de-rusted, soaking the vise now, then the table.
Still haven't figured out how to de-rust the big castings, but probably will have to go electrolytic due to size.

Question - that SB badge on the front of the cabinet drawers - is that a decal or a metal medallion?
Mine is missing.

I also have an Atlas. Actually two, a very early one, and recently got a later model 7B. That will be the next project.

Shapers are so cool
