Comments:
Found this Heavy Duty Shaper on the Cincinnati, OH CL and had my brother-in-law pick it up. After bringing it back to St. Louis, I had it torn down within a week. Cleaned, repaired and repainted. Polished all the exposed metal and gave them a clear coat. Motor is 1 HP, Single Phase, and was rebuilt a year prior by the previous owner. Shaper came with a 1/2-inch spindle and an adaptor for 1/4 and 1/2 inch router bits. The shaper runs extremely smooth and quiet.
