Learned how to run them in the early 70's in metal shop then a year later in Vocational Machine Trades where we had bigger ones. Didn't know at the time they were almost obsolete until i got in a few real shops. So anyway here is my little 7" SBL prob from the early 50's since it isn't the newer oil pump model from the 60's. I paid 300 bucks for it 3 blocks from my house. I looked for years online for one but they were too far away. I made the round corner stand since i wanted the old time look. Enjoy...Bob

Shapers,one of those machines that you either love 'em or hate 'em, well I love mine,you could pick a good one up for £50 to £150 when I got mine [about 30 yrs ago] not sure what they bring now but I wouldn't part[pardon the pun] with it!!
