Machine cabinet Handles

For a Boxford Shaper

[Gray62Participant @gray62]

I'm looking for a cabinet door handle of the type used on this Boxford shaper

Does anyone know where I can obtain these?

I also need the side door for my shaper so if anyone has one lying around that they no longer need…… OK so that last request is a long shot

cheers

Can't tell the size from the picture, but they look very similar to the original Mini boot handles, to me. I think they are available from various mini restoration specialists or secondhand.

Garage door handles from Toolstation, not exactly the same but don't look too much out of place.

Re the missing doors. I had a lathe cabinet door (not so different to the shaper door) made by a local sheet metal company, all nicely welded up on the corners, they even louvred the door.

I can measure mine tonight.

As for the door…

Have you got any gash plywood lying around? Given how valuable shapers are at the moment, it seems pointless in getting something made up that will cost anything, as it'll rapidly exceed the resale value of the whole machine.

Regards,

Richard

If you only want two, find a place that does second hand office furniture, they will probably be able to find you a couple from cabinets that are too old fashioned to clean up and sell.
