Hello Dean, Great to see the step over cuts worked... I know I've said it before and I am sure I will say it again but the shaper looks great, you did a fantastic job restoring it. Take care. Paul,,
Shapers are fascinating. I have the Atlas shaper and mill in my shop. Both beautifully restored. Haven used either in years. But that is beside the point. They stand ready. That’s the point.
Dean, great demonstration. You’ll have to rotate that piece 90 degrees, run it again and see what the intersecting cuts look like, if they are clean cut as well. Thanks for sharing, have a great day.
I bet you are a fun grandpa. Nice job , I was hoping to see the cross hatch. Of course you did it all wrong. Welcome to the Internet and RU-vid laugh out loud.
I agree about not needing to stop the machine. Running the shaper at a slow speed I've found it easy to turn the crossfeed 1/2 turn or a full turn (depending on how you want the vise jaws to look) by hand on the backstroke. There's no need to even look at the dial if you're turning the crank straight up or down.
Your shaper videos have been so helpful for me rebuilding my 7B. I was wondering what size or number belts you’re using? I’ve got mine back together but now I need to find the correct belts to get it dialed in. Thank you again for all your content!
Hi Jim, It was showing a bit of wear toward the end with that sharp point and I had too much end relief. The tool blank had a factory 12° relief angle, I should have flattened that down to 4°, Thanks !
