This, like the remainder of the series, is a good book on building the particular item. i will work them out myself and alter a few things.Īs is said and clearly is stated on or in the book though this book is for people who have no more than a file, some sand paper and a few basic tools.Ĭonsidering shapers are all but extinct commercially and bench top shapers in England are like the said rocking horse manure to get hold of this provides an excellent basis to work from.īest of luck to anyone who ever makes one and hope it brings you years of service ! If like me you have more experience than most then my grumble is really that there are no finished machining dimensions as one part is very much made to fit the other but this is just me being retentive.
If you have some or even no experience whatsoever this book is excellent as you will be able to build this machine using the step by step guide and produce something that works and is ok for most amateur hobbyists. some nice features included such as power feed and adjustable stroke length etc.įull instructions and dimensions for patterns are included as well as bolt and nut length and type. I am a trained machinist and engineer so looking from my point of view the overall construction of the machine is very basic but the principals are certainly there to improve on. You will be proud to add this machine to your shop.I purchased this book with a view to make the shaper and adapt the basic principals into a more reliable machine. But you can’t beat a shaper for simplicity and economy in the home shop.The shaper has a 6" stroke and a mean capacity of 5" x 5", variable and adjustable stroke length, automatic variable cross feed and graduated collars. Obsolete in modern industry, of course, because milling machines do the work much faster and cheaper. And all of these with a simple hand-ground lathe tool bit. It will cut splines, keyways, gears, sprockets, dovetail slides, flat and angular surfaces and irregular profiles. Exotic is a mild adjective when applied to this shaper.
