SB shaper tool post / tool holder dimensions or purchase

[AKFAB]

Hello wise ones - I am trying to find a South Bend shaper lantern style tool post, my shaper was purchased without it. I’d love to have dimensions (as detailed as possible if possible) of factory one or looking to purchase if need be. Also factory cutter holder and a SB cabinet badge for my shaper base. Thanks Aaron (dreaming of a complete shaper! Any help appreciated!!!’

Keep an eye on Ebay. They pop up for sale there on occasion.

In your search for a tool holder remember that the shaper tool holder has zero back rake and a lathe tool holder has 15 degrees of back rake. A lathe tool holder will work if the tool bit is ground to compensate for the difference.

I had to make mine.
It seems the ones on ebay etc are made out of gold for the prices they ask for SB 7" stuff.
