Nice Video. We have this model given to us by a College at our Victoria Park Mens Shed, Perth , Western Australia. Only just got it wired up today and gave it a run. Having been 50 0r 60 years in a school metalwork classroom shop. It has not actually been used much, and seems in good condition. But parts are missing, e.g. the winder handles but nothing we cant make or replace. There seems to be a problem with the "Rocker Arm Sliding Block" (Stroke Adjuster) and securing bolt. looks like it has been taken apart and the Steel bush perhaps not in the correct way round but also maybe some washers or spacers missing. The steel bush with a collar has two square locator lugs on one end but we cannot see what they locate into. You got any ideas or exploded views of this part.
reminds me of a valve linkage on an old tandem compound mill steam engine I once helped to steam, Elsie (Bolton steam museum) very nice machine, could watch it for hours
Your machine is far noiser than my Boxford shaper. It sounds like you have some slop where the arm is moving the ram back and forth, mine is much smoother and doesn't have that knock noise at the end of the forward stroke

That's a great addition to the shop buddy. Something I'd love to add to mine.
A good vice would be an advantage.
lol, good advice some 8 yrs later !!!
Very nice set up. Just got my Elliot m10 up and running and learning how to set it up. not quite as quiet as your Boxford.
God that is beautiful! It's the perfect size also (that's what she said), I wish they had that sound on my sleep noise machine/alarm clock.
Looks and sounds very nice. Take care of it, not many have lasted so well. :)
why have you got 12 inches of stroke to machine a 6 inch job .....reduce the stroke and double the speed

nice! - you could shorten the stroke
A lot more efficient if you shorten the stroke

maybe you should show your one, and produce a video of your own to show people how they should sound
@@mrmyford Have a look at my video of my shaper, it is somewhat quieter at the end of the stroke
