The Metal Shaper

Build your own Metal Shaper. Exotic is a mild adjective when applied to this shaper. It will cut splines, keyways, gears, sprockets, dovetail slides, flat and angular surfaces and irregular profiles. And all of these with a simple hand-ground lathe tool bit. Obsolete in modern industry, of course, because milling machines do the work much faster and cheaper. But you can’t beat a shaper for simplicity and economy in the home shop. The shaper has a 6″ stroke and a mean capacity of 5″ x 5″, variable and adjustable stroke length, automatic variable cross feed and graduated collars. You will be proud to add this machine to your shop.
