Anyone after a shaper?

An Elliot 18m shaper in glasgow.

I'd rather have a milling machine, but I do like the rythm of those.

I wonder what the reserve price is?

From the title. I was expecting a shaper with an 18 metre stroke!

I picked this up the other day for a song. Little six inch RHM. Just need to build a little stand and fix a motor to it.

It's a lovely piece of engineering.

It's not an auction; it didn't make the reserve at auction and now it's just waiting for someone to haggle a price. The reserve was £200 but I suspect it could be obtained for less.

its worth about 150 if u realy need one. its a big un probably be 3 phase though . single better

just use a VFD. more control over the motor than 1Ph

The Shaper look very heavy. Dont fancy hauling that up Kairney Braes.

and more money to shell-out pl;us theres no advantage to -reduce its speed and the stroke is adjustable
