Machine Information
Serial Number:	117
Machine Type:	Shaper-Metal
Machine Description:	Porter Cable AS 7 Metal Shaper
Owner:	Steven A Erbach
Manufacture Date:	unknown
Notes:	Source=Owner's submission. Owner's comments: This machine was obtained in Schenectady, NY. Porter Cable manufactured this machine for only one year and sold it to Logan who produced it for a while and then changed it into their 8" version. It is a rare machine and I can only surmise how few P-C made in one year's production. Perhaps if I knew when Logan introduced their 8" version then the date of manufacture of the Porter Cable AS 7 would be around 2 years earlier.
