Darren,
It'll be awhile. He's still in the design/prototype phase.

Then I'm happy to put my hand up for beta testing! Just think of the selling power if you were able to claim it has been tested in the harsh Australian conditions!

Or the harsh Minnesota conditions.

Settled - one each! I was going to suggest we time share it but given the seasons, we would both experience the extreme conditions at the same time of year.

Connecticut was at one time the most industrial state around. To have it accepted here would be awesome. I hereby present to you my bid for consideration.

wow.
Not ever seeing a shaper before other than in pictures, I wondered how the stroke length could be adjustable. Not sure if that is the mechanism in one of the photos but i believe i can see how it is achieved.
Great work!

Jason, post 19 shows the mechanism. i think its called a Scotch yoke. The slider can be adjusted out from center on the rotating disk to vary the stroke length. Neat mechanism, it cuts with the pin on the top half of the disk and returns faster with the pin on the bottom half.
