I stumbled on this example while trolling Craigslist.

Original 1HP Delta motor. Came with fence and one cutter, plus another part whose purpose I'm not certain about.
EDIT: Per Bill Nance and Keith Bohn, the extra part is the idler end of an Acme edge sander (2C and 4C).

Missing power cord, but partly wired to separate switch box with an auxiliary outlet.

Machine will get torn down, repainted and a more appropriate looking switch box attached.

Seller said the machine came out of an old crutch factory in Texarkana. Nothing else is known about the machine's history.

UPDATE on 8/31/2022 - I recently passed the shaper on to a commercial cabinet maker in Harrison, AR. I just rarely had a use for it in my hobby shop.
