This might just be the biggest metal hydraulic shaper on RU-vid! We are finally getting our big Klopp 1000H Shaper out of storage and moved into the workshop. So we wanted to show everyone what it is and what it can do. We give a full walkaround tour of our Klopp shaper, plus we do some test cuts on a big chunk of high tensile plate and make some HEAVY CUTS and BIG CHIPS! We can’t wait for you to see what it can do and what we have planned for it next.

Being an apprentice on London Transport in the late 70’s, they built a new workshop with a big shaper, purely for cutting tapers on railway lines, for points and cross overs. All worked fine for a few months until a big job came in, the shaper was set to max stroke, for the first time. When switched on the ram moved back and crashed straight through the rear wall of the building.

My Dad’s shop was much like what yours is today just 50 years difference in age. It was a one man master machinists shop with one large hollow spindle, and a LeBlond for fine work. A shaper similar in size to yours, a radial arm drill (very large) for line boring and some types of large scale mill work. Our mill was a early Bridgeport. Welding at that time was Gas and Arc. Of course a myriad of other machines and devices purchased from places upgrading tools or auctions of failed companies. I worked there every Saturday cleaning and lubing. I’ve never seen another machinist other than him that seemed to absorb and understand metallurgy like you do. It’s becoming a lost art. You are a true master machinist and it’s an art form in your hands. Thanks for reviving the memories of my dad.

@frussell3 2 года назад

Back in the late 1970s I occasionally operated a Klopp 1000 Shaper in the PTCNSW workshop in Randwick. We used the shaper to finish machine the profile and angles on long cast iron chocks that are used in the assembly of railway crossings. It was my first introduction to the shaper and it was a steep learning curve. This video brought back memeories.

@jcota2003 2 года назад

I love watching shapers... just the simplicity of how the tool works in addition to the raw material removal... and the sound is never the shrill sound that you sometimes get with chatter on a mill. I think I could watch a shaper run all day and never get bored with it

Shapers have always been one of those relaxing machines to watch operate. I know it's better for the tool to be lifted on back stroke however there is something satisfying about the "clap" at the end of the back stroke. Those were some pretty massive curly-Qs she was making. No doubt someone into metal art would love some of those pieces to work with.

@MrKotBonifacy 2 года назад

@@LeonardRoberts Yeah, just like steam locos. A fascinating and mesmerising spectacle (but in the positive sense of this word) to watch. And they share some other characteristic with those majestic behemoths of bygone era - "you can make anything you want with them, except the money" ;-) But yes, a fun to watch. I saw "my" first shaper in action at my secondary school workshop, and that was like... uh, time flies - in 1980 or '81. It was a rather small shop, just few lathes, one horizontal milling machine, welding area, one big press-drill and one small one, and few big workbenches with sturdy vices ("vises" for those on the wrong side of the pond ;-) AND a tiny shaper. Which instantly draw my attention the moment I saw it at work. I guess there's something "human-like" in workings of steam locos and shapers... But I'd rather don't delve into the latter case, wink wink, nudge nudge... ;-) TOT made a good joke about it, check the link in my other comment here. Cheers!

In one of the factories, I worked, we had a 650. But with mechanical gearbox. It was the pride and joy of my boss, because this was the first machine, he bought new. To see your machine completely rusted... I just wanted to cry. Good, that you want to restore it. The wide sidesteps are very useful. Take a chisel with a radius of 80 to 100 mm, then you can use a cutting depth of 0.2mm by a sidestep of up to 8mm. Then you get a surface, that you see on older drilling presses or milling machines. On the table, where the wises are sitting. And with this machine... there is no other machine, who can make this surfaces faster. Sorry, if something reads a bit weird, I'm not an English native speaker, I only had it in school 40 years ago. I'm living in Germany. Greetings from Stuttgart.

Hey Dirk, in diesem Video ist mit "depth of cut" die vertikale Einstellung und mit "step over" die horizontale Einstellung gemeint. Ich dachte bisher immer, dass mit depth of cut das Maß gemeint ist, mit dem man Material in einem Zug abnimmt. Aber bei einem "Shaper" scheint wohl eine andere Benennung zu herrschen. Wie nennt man so ein Gerät überhaupt auf Deutsch? Ich kenne das nur aus englischsprachigen Videos. Ich bin kein Schlosser oder Feinmechaniker, sondern Elektriker. So ist mit das alles nicht so geläufig. Aber ich interessiere mich trotzdem sehr und schaue schon seit Jahren Videos, wie Leute Metall in Späne verwandeln.

@Dirk-Ulowetz 8 месяцев назад

@@Baerschi100 da sich hier der Kopf mit dem Meißel bewegt, ist das eine Stoßmaschine. Bewegt sich stattdessen der Tisch, spricht man von einer Hobelmaschine.

Dadurch bekommst du das Bild, was du häufig auf älteren Bohr- oder Fräsmaschinen auf den Tischen siehst.

@mrmiscast 2 года назад

I was taught as a teenager to run a shaper, almost the dimensions of your Klopp. It was in a small machine shop with 10 employees, but when they wanted something fairly large to be nice and straight, this was the machine that got used. I can still smell that oil being turned to smoke and hear that click when the shaving comes flying off the tool at the end of the stroke. Love it... Hope you get enough time to show the restoration with your friend, can't wait to see how well it turns out... It will be a nice tool for your great shop... Thanks as always for the great video and the funny bits... Homeless is certainly in charge there.... I know that feeling well also...

A tip for moving heavy stuff is getting some steel pipes underneath, it would almost roll out of that conteiner by itself. Or get some steel underneath with some grease to minimize friction, with the wood floor you need a lot more pullingforce to overcome the friction.

We had 4 of them, the largest was the 36" Cincinnati. Total beast. I'm looking forward to this machine being restored and then making lots of chips.

The manufacture and engineering of this machine is just phenomenol. Made to do vast amounts of work over generations of worker's lives. Let's also take a moment to properly appreciate that this truly amazing machine was made in a post war Germany after only a mere five years of everything being literally flattened by thousands of bombing raids. That makes this machine's creation go from impressive to completely mind boggling. Put into perspective, I'd say there's still only a handful of places around the world with the heavy industry that are still capable of making this kind of machine from scratch. Oh and surprise surprise guys, I just checked and unlike most of our big machine makers from the 1950's in the UK, Klopp are still very much indeed making milling machines. No doubt if this machine ever requires a replacement part (unlikely), Klopp would be willing to provide...... So this machine is definitely something that needs to be taken care of and appreciated for what it really is. Thanks for uploading this video on RU-vid.

@markiobook8639 Год назад

Absolutely. US and USSR took the megapresses of Germany. I read one of the factories the press was looted from- throughouly flattened- the owner said, "well, they took our tools- so now we'll have to make bigger and better tools- and they made a 40,000 tonne press", USA's ALCOA Press 50,000 tonne press was refurbished in Germany- the only nation bar Russia with the machinery and casting facilities to make it.The Soviet 50,000 tonne Press was based on the 25,000, 30,000 and 35,000 tonne German presses and in China- always playing catch-up in game everyone else stopped playing- took a Soviet press, (essentially German) beefed it up and 75,000 tonne press. Much like their Soyuz-based Long March missiles.

Oh, this is a blast from the past!!! It's been almost 30 year's since I last ran a shaper and that was only a couple of years after I started in the machinist trade. And yes, you summed it up very well; for what a shaper can do, it can do very well, extremely efficiently. It's just that it's range of use is very nitche specific, which is why they're obsolete for day to day use. But for what you want to use it for??? Ace in the hole!!! And when you get it restored and finally placed, this is one machine you're going to need to grout the base on, otherwise the outboard table support will be useless. I'm betting that the manual that your friend copied should have the correct instructions to do it right. You're also going to want build a chip trap for it, otherwise your neighborhood will come hunting for your head about flat tires.... That first shop out of high school had personal experience with that before they added one....

A machine shop I worked for had a Rockwell shaper just a little smaller than this one. We cut large internal splines, as I recall about 6 bananas in diameter. the spline grooves were a banana wide and it made the full width in one cut, about .040 banana deep per cut, in 4140. It didn't have an automatic downfeed so we built a ratchet mechanism to feed it down on the backstroke.

When I started my apprenticeship in 1974 we had several of these shapers in the college machine shop. One day we set one going on the max speed, max stroke length and max depth of cut. The thing jumped around so much it pulled the bolts right out of the concrete floor and slid backwards into an internal brick wall whereupon the back of the ram started knocking bricks out into the corridor next door! We were too shit-scared to go near the damn thing to turn it off, it was leaping around all over the place. Fortunately one of the lecturers heard it knocking the wall down, ran into the workshop and switched it off at the isolator otherwise it would probably have knocked down the entire two-storey building! These things are brutal, I only ever saw them used in college and never in actual manufacturing, I suppose milling machines made them obsolete.

When I used it I found it was set up backward so that the only way it operated properly was in reverse. It was gear type with quick reverse and in the 3 forward speeds it was trying to cut on the quick return. It was cool, the arm moved back and forth and the table slowly ratcheted to the side.

@peterblake548 2 года назад

You need to always angle the clapper box so the tool will lift on the return stroke while the feed occurs. The automatic tool lifter is also a requirement when you are using a carbide tool bit as the carbide will fracture from the dragging of the tool. Definitely a great machine...I use mine mostly for taking the bark of hot rolled steel. A large HSS tool bit will last over a year and is easily sharpened on a bench grinder saving lots of dollars.

We had a smaller one in the early 70's in the apprentice training school. No idea of the make, we had to use it to cut slots into one of the test items. Most things were then being transferred over to the milling machines. We all hated the swarf off the millers because it would cut your fingers so easily. I still have most of the test items from that time.

Hello your channel is really interesting, I have watched several of your video's now. Fifty years ago in the first year of my apprenticeship I learned to use machines like this, our training workshop had two shapers smaller than this but very capable, we also had a range of lathes milling machines, a sheet metal working shop, fitting, grinding and welding, it was a comprehensive training and I enjoyed every minute of it. I went on to do office based engineering work in the rest of my apprenticeship, first as a jig and tool design draftsmen. I eventually I did a degree in civil engineering. Watching your video's is bringing many memories back, and while I never reached the levels of ability in hands on engineering that you have I can appreciate it very well. Thanks for showing us your world, and I love your dog.

@mpetersen6 2 года назад

I've used both mechanical (Cincinatti's) and hydraulic (Rockford's) and while the hydraulic offers certain advantages the noise does get to you. Not as noisy as a large Mattison surface grinder though. The Rockfords we had featured a hydraulically operated pick feed on the compound slide for cutting angled faces. We had an engineer tell us once that shapers are obsolete because they only cut one way. They may not be as efficient as other machines but for a manual machine the only thing that removes more stock faster IMO is a band saw. Plus there are some jobs that only a shaping type operation can do.

@peteraugust5295 2 года назад

Great machine. One thing that is often forgotten to why shapers are a thing of the past is the tooling. Endmills require a high level of manufacturing quality and therefore high quality materials to ensure that they are not dulled or broken within minute. A Shaper on the other hand runds on basically any tool than can be ground on a rock if need be. Up to about between WW1 and WW2 the progress in tooling development was pretty slow, and the materials pretty bad compared to today. Only during the war due to some Tigers requiring machining and after the war due to some thing about flying to the moon there was real progress made. Once Endmills reached a level of foolproofing that the average Schmo could live with, the mill was advantageous in almost every regard.
