Bringing a Shaper into the 21st Century

[Mayhem]

C'mon Greg - such ideas would have been considered which craft back in the day when these machines were new!

Have the scales mounted. Need to make some sort of mount for the readouts.





Need to check the accuracy of the scales now. The table is out .013 in 6 inches comparing the scale to the dial, but agrees exactly to a dial indicator in 1/2 inch travel. Not sure if its the scale or the lead screw. Will set up a dial calliper and compare over the 10 or 12 inch of table movement.

i'd mentioned using a micrometer barrel for a depth stop somewhere here but can't find it. Anyway Rick suggested using a depth stop when cutting the rack, so here it is.



Getting closer to cutting teeth. Just a little more work on the vice to hold the rack.

So that just proves that some one listens to me, My kids will be shocked.
