    Default Cheap Shaper Anyone?

    This machine just appeared on eBay... not only could you pick up a cheap shaper (or whatever it is? any guesses?), but you could also get a great little arm exercise machine.
    The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are ignorant.

    My best guess is a facing and deburring/chamfering tool for pipes (e.g. oxy cut in the field). Looks like a substantial self-centering double clamp faced by a hand operated automatically advancing facing/boring head.
    In any case, nothing to do with shaper, mill or lathe....

    Default Large aluminium round offcut

    My local (Bendigo, Vic) "stuff" dealer has a piece of round aluminium 350mm diameter and around 300 long for sale for $260 (less whatever you or I could haggle). It's a solid bar extrusion offcut.

    I'd be happy to collect and store it if someone wants it and help arrange transport or whatever.

    He also has a piece of 50mm aluminium plate about 300x300mm. It looks flame cut (maybe undersized plasma?). It's not marked with a price but I'd be happy to go and enquire and haggle if someone wants it. Same deal as above.

    I've read extrusions don't machine well.

    PS: I don't think we're supposed to post in this thread.

    I'd be a bit worried about this one as the needle should not be at half scale when no one is turning the handle, should be up at infinity.

    That one is to far for me, but thats the sort of lathe I have been looking out for, but with 1500mm centres.

    I would still keep my currant lathe as it has never missed a beat and is accurate, but could use the bigger size for some jobs.

    Thats not a bad buy at that price as it has a milling attachment that goes with it.

    For the price its a great buy,you are virtually picking up a geared head hercus with seperate feed for less than a used 9A let alone a 260,the milling slides usually sell to the foolish for between $300/$450.

    Thanks GDD, i'll keep my eye on that one. Any one like to take a guess on the stroke? The description is a bit iffy. I wonder if my single axle trailer would cope with that...probably not but it may be worth a hire......

    If that is a 350mm (14") vice; I am guessing at about a 24" stroke and 2.5-3.00 tonne.
    It's a big 'mutha'.
