Machine purchased from Jefferson Proving Grounds when closed by local wheeler dealer. I purchased the shaper from him.

This is a powerful shaper- 5 hp belted - now with a VFD for speed adjustment.
One of things I like best is the micrometer indicator surrounding the handwheel. Makes for easy accurate height adustments in .001".

The only thing I dont like about the shaper is the small hole in the table for cutterheads. 7-8" is max.

Want to find a N-44 double spindle to pair up with this machine for entry door production.
