Yep,
That's my old Shaper.
I think I did well with my Jacob's flex collet chucks.

Was that a trade?

Glad to hear you're not feeling buyer's remorse.

So what's the story? That guy in Penryn lists a lot of machining related stuff.

 

[Janderso]

Yes,
I traded my shaper for the 2 Jacobs spindle flex collet chucks and a full set of collets, most have never been used
I have no remorse. I'll probably sell one of the chucks after I finish making the pin.
From what I understand he buys and sells all over the place.

 

[MrWhoopee]

I imagine the collets will get much more use.

What is the deal with reasonably priced shapers recently and me with the toy budget blown out...

No more new toys for me until the shop is back in order and I've actually made something.

Back in my shaper buying days I might have jumped on that and had a road trip with the wife. No more room and plenty of shapers still in the shop.
