It was almost unused when I bought it last year.
I've got a little workshop of 2.25 x 4.5 m (7 1/2 x 15 feet) in which I managed to cram two toolroom lathes, the shaper, a horizontal/vertical mill, a die filer, a tool&cutter grinder and a table drill (which is placed on the workbench).
I guess you could say it's a little tight
The shaper is about 50 years old and still in perfect shape.
It doesn't have the original vise, but the former owner put a Brockhaus vise on it.
The vise alone would have cost new more than I paid for the complete shaper!!
Its performing perfectly on the shaper, so no complaints from me...
Cheers,
Jan
Very nice
Cosy would be a good way to describe your shop
Mine is the same (less machines though)
