The shaper is in pretty good shape accept for the fact that one of the owners greased her up pretty badly. The PO told me neither he nor the owner before him ever ran it. I have taken the ram and table off to clean up all the dried grease and open up the oiling holes but otherwise she is going to be operational pretty quickly. Odd thing is the table feed mechanism has no indicator lines (its a good guess setup) and there are no indicator lines for setting the length of the ram stroke or the position it need to be in to change the stroke. I'm pretty happy though, she seems solidly built and I can't wait to send a few smoking chips around the shop!
The motor is a 2 HP 220v single phase but I got the original 3/4hp 3 phase as well, soon as I can get a VFD the three phase will go onto my horizontal Benchmaster.
