Your shaper works so smooth, mine is terrible. Have to crank across with the table with both hands. Because of you i will take my G&E 20" shaper apart. I am jealous of your machine. My clapper box has always been set wrong but now because of your great info i will do it correct. You made the light in my brain light up. THANK YOU, THANK YOU
@@Rustinox yes it is but I also have an Axelson 18” lathe so it’s a good Match for it. Good videos you do! Good thing is a shaper is a shaper and they all work the same so what you show me applies! Thanks
If anyone doubts the value of high speed tool steel only needs to watch your shaper perform. Incredible. Your tool holder is such an elegant design. Why were they blind to the need for rigidity at the “shaper factory” when they designed their own ridiculous tool holder? 🥴
Would you consider cutting in the circular protrusion on the back of the new tool support ? If it is not allowed to contact the back face of the recess, it can come close. It would stiffen the lot and stop the support falling out so easily..?
Would be interesting to know if there is any pros/cons of having the cutting tip forward from the axis of the clap box pivot. Versus almost directly under it
Thanks for the video, very informative for this shaper rookie. I'd sure like to see a closer view of the plate on the side of your machine showing the speed/feed chart. It looked pretty slick and I have not seen one in all my books on machining... Its in your video at 4:07 left side view.
Thanks Rusty I appreciate the videos. Messing with my Atlas 7B and practicing tool grinds. Dose your shape have a tool lifter? it looks like the clapper swings up quite far.
Turning back the clock to watch some of your older videos. What a good way to start off 2023 early 👍😜
Thanks Bear.
I am in love with your shaper ❤️ 😂
I don't have a problem with that.

I'm glad it was useful.
I am almost finished restoring a 20” Cincinnati shaper. Your videos are educating me. Thanks
That's a nice sized machine for a big hobby :)

@@Rustinox if you want to check it out my friend just put a TH-cam video out on it ( Steve Watkins at Work )
@@donmadere4237 Indeed, I watched Steve's vid.
You have a beautiful shaper. I absolutely love it.
It's my favorite machine in the shop.
Nicely done....great finished part. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks Eddie.
G’day Rusti thanks for running the Shaper at proper speed, others always looked too slow. Nice project.
Cheers
Peter
Shapers are designed to run at proper speeds. If running to slow the operator risks to fall asleep.
Great job , Cheers .
Thanks Max. Just a easy little project.
Very nice!
Thanks.
My new favourite channel!
Thanks for your visit, John.
That's a great place for the beer. Well made piece. Take care
There's not really beer in there, but please don't tell the others.

I don't know. Stupid designs are still not out of this world.
Fantastic tool support. I'd of just used another tool bit behind, always been in a rush. Great video...…......Tony
While putting shims behind the tool, sometimes you need three hands. This self hanging thing is a good solution.

I left it as is, so I can adjust the bottom stickout.
But your idea could work very well too.

It doesn't change much. Only a bit the bouncing on the back stroke.

In this video at 01:15 you can see the plate.

It only shows the cutting speed for some given stroke length.
great video as always. hope it stops raining soon 😜
I hope not. I'm not a big fan of gardening.

This shaper was indeed equipped with a tool lifter, but i took it off because it never worked. Now the clapper is lifting itself by inercia.
Thanks for good info. Have you made the oilers your self.
Hi Steen, indeed i did.

Great job. Feel free to embed your video on our homemade tools forum if you like.
Thanks. I'll see what i can do.
I really enjoy your sense of humor, subscribed. Where country are you located at?
Thanks, i sub yours too. Google "The battle of the Bulge", that's where i live.
Thanks for the vid : a lot of chips to obtain this tool holder, isn't it?👌👍🖖
Making chips is fun.
I have divided the speed by four but it's still bulls**t🤗😎
Indeed. Thanks for watching.
I am sorry, but first🤗
Somebody has to do it.
