Shapers who else has one?
#41
One more for the collection, a 7 inch Logan. Doesn't get used a lot but sure nice for internal keyways and dovetails.

Andrew,

That Elliot one looks very nice, good shapers Elliot's if not a little expensive.

I did look about 3 -4 years ago but most were just too expensive, and the ones I could afford were usually in a bit of a mess - with too much missing.

Just curious Andrew, did you mean "slotter" head? If so I'd love a peek at that.
I would mount the vise 90° to the way you have yours, but then, I broke my shaper so maybe I shouldn't commentBlush.

By the way Andrew and Steve, The vise is actually around the right way, the way it is you'll tend to hold any long thin work (keys or similar) with the long axis in line with the cutting stroke which will mean less strokes to cover the surface, and less times the cut is interupted given the same amount of material removed, Also if something goes horribly wrong the workpiece just slides out rather than anything getting broken.

But I would recommend a better vise, to get the most out of your machine
Best Regards
Rick
