Hello. I've recently acquired a Rapide-Lime shaper. There seem to be no posts on this subject, so I was wondering if there's anyone out there to share the grief/joy of ownership and who has any useful hints, suggestions or contacts they might like to share.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Steve.

I think that's a French machine . I saw one sold about 6-7 years ago. It's in the same class / size range as the Drummond.

Can you put up some photos please. A picture says a thousand words.

You want photos? Have a look on lathes.co.uk. There's a brief history and description followed by more pictures than you can shake a stick at.
