Yea Pete O, I feel ya! When I went to get the lathe from a guy on Kijiji (basically Craigs List in Canada), he had a bunch of machining stuff I have never seen from his recently passed dad. The shaper was one of those things. At first I thought that it was stupid and I wasn't going to buy it, but I looked it up on the net, and realized it might come in handy, so I asked him what he wanted for it and he said $125 CAD and I said SOLD. That was one of the best purchases I ever made. I use it all the time. I love it. It is my 70 year old baby! I spent a little over a thousand bucks at that guys house, and don't regret it even a little. Now I have a small machine shop.
