(teaser) Homemade Metal Shaper

[Andre]

Not much to say, she makes chips though. I need to remake the toolpost with a clapper box, grind the top way surfaces, add a lever on the back for the ram, make a table lift crank and dial, and add a table leadscrew. But the tests look promising!

Hi Andre,

Any chance of getting a video of it in action.
Shapers are so soothing to experience.

I need to fire up the surface grinder to finish up the ram and make a handle for the back before I can shoot a video of it, but I will!

I have two slow speed geared motors I can choose from to power this, but I'll keep the hand lever for those delicate jobs if and when one arises.
