The previous owner had this shaper in multiple storage places all disassembled. The parts were in coffee cans, milk crates and various boxes. The main castings were scattered all over. Eventually I was able to put the puzzle together and only the top gib was missing. The machine had very little use and all original scrapings are still visible. It currently runs as it should.
