Think we can shoe horn it into the back of the shop, Getting rid of the Logan will free up a little space.
U-Haul has a tandem trailer rated for 2700 pounds, pretty sure this weighs less.

I'll give you $20 for the logan and $10 to deliver it.
RE: Peerless Shaper - dallen - 09-02-2015
your gonna have to post a video of it pulling some big smoking hot chips off when you get it home, and running

I'll just have to live vicariously through you.
What chaps my hide is that the price delta between my 7" Rhodes and your 11-teen inch behemoth is $100. Great deal!

I use my 10.5 Douglas all the time and had to resist buying a 24" shaper because there was no way I could trust my garage floor to take the weight. I have a SouthBend 7" that leaves a mirror finish, looks like it was ground. I second the idea of a video showing the old gal running as well, love seeing a tool go to someone who can use it and appreciate it for what it does.
I buried a German Shepard 5 years ago who was like a brother to me, warms my heart to see someone take such pride in a friendship with a dog, few people really get to experience that bond. I've had a few beers which is pretty rare for me so before I say anything stupid I'll say goodnight.

Got my new baby home today.
Had intermittent rain most of the day, even with a fair bit of tongue weight I could break the tires loose pulling away from stop signs.

The rain didn't wash away the years of crud.

Decided to start fresh with my crud so sprayed it down with Spray 9 cleaner and pressure washed it before it came in the shop.
Used the car hoist to lift it, then pulled the trailer out from under.

Now need to find some time to play with it.
RE: Peerless Shaper - dallen - 09-09-2015
nice to see that its got a tilt table on it, that will come in pretty handy at times. both of mine have fixed tables.
RE: Peerless Shaper - Roadracer_Al - 09-11-2015
+1, that's a very desirable feature!
