Comments:
This machine was given to me by a friendly machinist because he had 4 shapers and didn't need that many. I don't know the history of this particular machine, but the company that made it was so short lived, it may be the only remaining example. The machine is missing one of the spindles, but the machinist that gave it to me is making another one. It has a 2" thick wood top and weighs about 1100-1200lbs. The name Lattimore had been ground off the machine, and I restored it with bondo and a dremel tool.
