Very nice.
I could do with one of those, mine is broken in half.
I didn't know the instructions were on the knob.

Some had a slightly different set up. This particular model has that. If I come across one I will let you know as I am currently hunting for the scale that sits on top opposite the shaper head

I think mine is the same as yours, it's two speed anyway.
I can send you a photo of the top scale if that's any use to you.

A couple of things to sort. Not happy with the fitment of the door that covers the flywheel/clutch..it sits on a shim and a pin. The pin is fine and so is the shim. Its probably slightly worn inside the pin casing. It's a bit of a bad design as the pin ideally needs to be longer as so does the casing it sits in..you can raise it slightly but it would foul the top door...I have shim steel sheets so I will see if I can ream the casing slightly and make a shim sleeve...the top door hinge is binding slightly due to paint being slightly to thick..Will sort that

The pin is actually probably about 10 mm to short..providing I can get the old one out I might have to make a new door pin

Today. Shot the first coat of tops on the shaper base...as its been said numerous times that paint doesn't make the machine I thought I would slap plenty of it about....

Not much done today apart from installing the the pivot arm that operates the cross feed...the motor mount that came with it isn't the original but it will do for now and will see how it goes...

I could probably make one or something similar and measure the ram travel. Its only because mine didn't have one and I like to have the original bits and pieces. Or as original as I can find
