Shapers who else has one?

[Dave J]

I have 3 shapers so I thought I would join in.

The first one I bought many years ago and it is a Douglas 10 1/2 inch stroke shaper.
It is in perfect condition wear wise and at the moment it is pulled down getting full going over, under drive and some other mods done.

The next one I got was a Alba 24 inch shaper. It has a bit of wear from the operators not oiling the ram enough.
This is a photo from when I bought it.

   

And this is the vise I picked up for it. It has 330mm jaws on it.

   

   

   


And this is the latest one I picked up about a month ago which is another Douglas shaper. I have plans to pull it down and bolt the main casting and the ram onto the Alba for a vertical slotter since vertical slotters are so hard to come by. The vise can then go on the other Douglas because it never came with one.
