Douglas shaper in slow motion
#11
That brings back memories of my junior (3rd) year in vocational high school, running a 16" Gould & Eberhardt shaper and learning a lot.

I haven't touched one since because I can get a pretty nice finish with a carbide insert 45º face mill. I could mill that in one pass, and the cut would take about 15 seconds.

For the record, I get probably just as much joy with 15 seconds of heavy, hot blue chips dropping off the work as you do in two minutes twenty seconds of "stroke, retract, repeat."

Big Grin

And no, it doesn't make me want to have a shaper, so what will? ;)
