This shaper spent the better part of 30 years sleeping in my basement. I'd use it occasionally, but I really needed a larger shaper. I recently sold this one and bought a 12" Sheldon that may, too, prove to be too small. I hope not. This shaper came with a Sears Craftsman motor that looks like it's been on the shaper since it was new. The shaper is missing the vise and one belt guard and is pretty grimy in these pictures, but actually it is in very nice condition. I probably should have kept it...
