Very nice south bend 7†shaper - atlas logan bridgeport
What does the well equipped production shop or ultimate home shop have? Why a shaper of course! Shapers can do operations that vertical millers can’t, such as internal keyways and splines, mirror smooth flat surfaces that rival a fly cutter…and all with simple lathe type bits sharpened on a common grinder.
This elegant South Bend 7†cannot be compared with the Atlas shaper of the same size. The South Bend is a heavy duty design that does not use any pot-metal castings like the Atlas. Comes with the original and beautifully made 3-drawer cabinet and South Bend vise. More info about the South Bend 7†shaper can be seen at: http://www.lathes.co.uk/shapers/page3.html
