What small shapers are available in Australia?
Hi All,
I'm just wondering what small shapers were manufactured or brought into Australia for sale? Small for me being 6-7 inch stroke. I'm always on the lookout for a small shaper but I never know what search terms to use. I see Douglas' for sale quite often, and larger machines, but I have no room for one that size.
The only brand I've noticed that was possibly Australian built, in that size, is the 'Austolite'.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
You can add the Macson, and of course Douglass was made in Sydney
Regards

Thanks Mike and Ray. I haven't heard of a Macson shaper so I'll have to see what I can find out about it.
Mike, was it you who bought a small shaper a few months ago? I recall someone did but I don't remember if pictures were ever uploaded. Might be a case of mistaken identity.

Macson Shaper
The Macson was made by McPhersons and I think was a "copy" of an Alba. The Macson I have used in was 18" stroke

Thanks Graeme,
With an 18 inch stroke it looks like the Macson would be far too large for my needs. I'd struggle to fit a 10 inch in at the moment.

Hadn't heard of the Lock shaper either, but I can't find much information on it.
If anyone hears of a 6-7 inch shaper for sale in Melbourne at a decent price, and doesn't want it for themselves, feel free to let me know!
Cheers,
Joe
