Awesome find Shawn. I have always wanted to get a shaper, but this area is sort of devoid of any machine shop equipment as there has been very little industry over the years, and worse yet, not sure where I would put one if I ever found one.

That's my problem as well Walter. There is a nice 16" G&E on CraigsList, but I have no room.

The amazing thing is that you can always fit more machines into your shop even several years after you had "no more room."

I ran out of room last year and just picked up a few new items. I now need to re-arrange my shop to make things fit.

Oh believe me, if the right deal came up, I'd shoe horn it in somewhere, LOL

Not sure, well actually I am sure what the young lady would say if I put any tooling in the living room, but yup, I'd find room.

It is amazing how even with a crammed shop like mine, a new item can dissappear into the maze and look like it was always there.

I agree with Mike, my shop was at maximum density before I bought the second shaper. Two days of rearranging and she fits like a glove ( a wet leather glove that's two sizes too small but a glove non the less) ?
