The timing also changes (a bit) when you raise or lower the table. The more you play with the shaper, the more you will find it useful. And then you find out that you can't live without it anymore :-)
Wow!! You’re so right! The timing does change with table movement. I’m still testing and tuning and trying to find a squeak and a slight bump noise. I think I know the source of the bump. Also, I’ve watched your tool grinding video several more times and will watch it again today. I’ve “butchered” some HSS tool trying to get it right. Thank you so much for the info! You’re the “Gold Standard” in small shapers…..
LOL! I just got upstairs from the basement playing with the shaper. What a cool machine. As soon as I can learn to grind the HSS tools, I'm going to be a ROCK STAR;-) I'm still trying to get the knowledge. I'm gaining that one chip at a time. And thank you so much.....
You can use your iphone running a sound meter app to detect where the squeak is coming from. Just move the phone around the machine until you see the squeak register it's highest peak.
OK I'm back, So I got out my Atlas Shaper bulletin S7B-5 page 3. Cross Feed & Feed Timing, even a Caveman has no idea what the hell they are talken about. Well when it came to setting up mine ( Caveman no read, throw book away ) I knew the the cross over had to be on the back stroke and not on the cut stroke. Yes the timing may change a bit, but its so miner one would never notes, and yes mine has become my go to for any serface work where as my Grizzly mill has become more of a drill press. " O " yes I have a stroey about a German Pilet who may have a kill count of 352, later
I will have to check my book on page 3. I just went to the forum, and they said there wasn't anything written about timing. I should have known you can't believe everything on the internet;-) I'm still in the "test and tune" phase and have a few bugs to work out. But I can see that this is a useful machine. I met a German fighter pilot named Gunther Rohl (spelling?) who had about that many kills. He was so cool to talk to. He came to my squadron at the Michigan Air Gurad. Anyway, thank you very much.....
I was stationed in Watertown at a radar station. One day talking to a company frist sargent, and this was in 75 ( Yes the blizzerd of 77 nothing moved for 10 days, I was off base housing on Mill Street, one of 4 roads into Watertown ) back to the real story, He was telling me back in about 55, then a young airmen, of a Luftwaffe Pilot (name not given) that came on to the sean, He was asked how many, he never told anybody, He got a chance to fly a jet, chould have been a P80 or Thender Cheft, something for a naves pilot, He took the plane up, had a ball landed and that was the end of that plane. The plane full of ripples in the sheet metal, End of that plane. The pilot I mite be talking about (NO Names) was in the hands of the Reds four 10 years or so, The reds never knew his real ID, other wise. befor final being releast. I offend wonder his name. Many of these high scoring pilots did be come part of the new Luftwaffe, "O" one thing most imported about a SHAPER, get in the way of that RAM, say good by to some of your body parts, One thing I learned working with Deere, heavy metal doesn't give a shit who you are
Wow, that German pilot sounds familiar. Gunther Rall flew the P38, and the P51, and I think a navy plane or 2. When the Germans got one of our planes, they needed experienced pilots to fly them and evaluate them. Gunther told us as soon as he flew the P51 he knew they couldn’t beat us. It’s kinda weird that he shot down Americans with our own plane. Ps. I totally understand that steel doesn’t care who you are. I’ll definitely be careful. And thank you again…..
excellent! She's purring right along.. Looking forward to seeing shaper projects. :) Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! I’m still at the testing and tuning phase, but hopefully I be posting projects soon…..
Nice!
Thank you very much Matt!
Thanks for that tip, have a great day!
Thank you Sir and same to you...

I will be sure to set this when I get mine all together.
That will save you a little time and aggravation! Let me know how yours turns out…..
Great tip.
Thank you so much!
All that college money is starting to pay dividends already 😁 thanks for the update.
I'm just using 2 years of college so far, LOL. And thank you very much.....
Let's see my preparation: Enthusiasm? Check! Knowledge? Check! Actual shaper to use? Doh! (I need to get one!)

Jeez, next time edit your video, no help when you babbled .
