Hi all,

I am a new member from Worcestershire. I repair clocks and watches as part of my job I also work in automotive industry.

Basically I have quite a complete workshop, however you may have recently seen my post reference looking at purchasing a shaper machine.

Hope all are well

Steven

Hi Steven welcome to the forum. What other machines do you have it's always interesting what other people have in their workshop. I worked a shaper for a while as an apprentice but after smashing the claper box it stood for a while and I was moved on to a planer instead. I do remember lots of pings from the swarf and a few down my neck, you soon learn where to put a guard and to stand. Good luck with your search for one.

Welcome, Steven.

Good luck watchmaking on a shaper! But they are very satisfying machines. I wish I had room for one.
