Post by: Bryan on March 03, 2011, 09:54:36 PM: Thanks for the pics. Nice looking gear. Would like to know more about the shaper. Probably others would too. Maybe the 'Tools' forum would be the right place. Never heard of that make till now. What's the stroke? I see it has a rotating table, and you have a rotary table on one side. That's what I'd love to do with mine, but my table is fixed. Do you use it for gears or splines or something? I hope to make some gears with mine.

Post by: enginenut on March 04, 2011, 06:02:12 AM: Dad and I have half shares in the R/T it's a 8 inch Vertex from Hare & Forbes we brought it to cut a new intermediate timing gear on my CS Lister, ill post pics in the gallery of that. It quite conveniently bolts(OK OK only fits ::)) to the t slots on the side so it stays on it.
