      When I worked ata sugar mill, we had one similar to this.We fitted an air grinder to it to surface grind wear pads. The noise was horrendous but it worked!

          Great to see these big boys doing real work and firing smokers across the workshop

          Mr Noci made a nice box for his

          Edit

          I have found 5% (or greater) cobalt tooling works great on a shaper btw, holds its edge better than hss and can carve through ridiculously tough metal. Great for intermittent cuts too

            Much more of a machine than my 10" Royal. Mine's got vertical feed to the table, but power feed when cutting dovetails etc. is a nice touch.

            If it's not too late, one word of warning that I gained from my Edgwick rotary table:- that lovely translucent green paint on the name plate is soluble in aggressive thinners, it's probably cellulose. If you want to keep it, be gentle when cleaning.
