Angle plate for the shaper.

[@machinenutdel6764]

Allways a pleasure watching a new rustinox video

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@argee55]

It’s good to see you back in the shop. You’re looking healthy. I really enjoy your videos. Take care!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Randall.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Good one Rusty . Can't wait until my shaper is in the new shop ! Cheers .

[@Rustinox]

I can fully understand that.

[@Unrivaledanime]

Another great video keep them coming my friend.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks, will do!

[@normanfeinberg9968]

Nice work.Always open to fresh ideas.I think the more you work the stronger you get..You can't keep a good man down for long.Keep up the interesting work

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Norman. I appreciate that.

[@canberradogfarts]

Michel, thank you. You make the shaper out to be the fun, accurate and enlightening "tool-all" that it was originally invented to be. We got to see an elegant solution to an age old problem on the smaller shaper, "Accurate Accessories: the Angle Plate." And we got to see a commensurate portion on proper tooling for the task at hand. And THAT OLD TAP!!! I'd love to see you do a bit on "Making Tools from 'Found Objects'" to help alleviate the shortage of tools one encounters when, well, when the world goes to hell in a hand basket. Anyway, thank you so very much Michel for showing us how adversity is not a reason to stop doing what you love. Cheers.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks for your kind words. When it gets complicated that's where the fun begins.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

The plate came out very nice, many great uses. Nice Michel.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Randy.

[@k.s.1871]

The advantages and popularity of shapers has risen dramatically in recent times . It is a delight to see them in action. Love your videos !

[@Rustinox]

Thanks K.S. Shapers are fun.

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

You can't beat a Sunday afternoon in the shop with the shaper.

[@Rustinox]

Spot on.

[@warrenwise8127]

good to see your up and about old mate, I'm thinking because there is no angle in your angle plate we might call it a flat plate, great video, as usual, take care, cheers from Sydney Australia.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Warren.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Angle plate 2.0 is a vast improvement over angle plate 1.0, much more rigid. I wish I had more time to spend in the shop lately as seeing your creativity makes me want to make similar accessories for my shaper too, like the surface clamp setup!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Everett. Is was an easy project, but fun to do.

[@brianhauck1118]

Hey Mr R. Glad that didn’t fall on your foot. You are looking good!! Brian In Arkansas

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Brian. I always wear safety shoes in the shop.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Shop time, yay! So happy to see you’re doing well! 🙏🏻💪🏼

[@Rustinox]

Yes! Thank you!

[@kennyk6345]

You truly are a master at the shaper. So many would have thrown their hands up and went to the milling machine. You get great results with your projects. Patience is a virtue when operating a shaper. Thanks for sharing and take care!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks, i will.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Your looking good Michel, glad to see you spending time in the shop. Plate came out very nice. Gary

[@Rustinox]

Thank you Gary.

[@Engineerd3d]

Awesome work. That parting job was actually very nice, worked better than i expected.

[@Rustinox]

Yes, i had a bit more luck this time.

[@carlwhite8225]

I am so happy to see you back and doing a shaper video, I hope you are doing well. Thank you for sharing.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Carl. I'm OK.

[@eyuptony]

Hi Rustinox. Enjoyed the shaper footage good to hear that the reground tap performed really well. Tony

[@Rustinox]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@rl3898]

Another successful accessory completed, brilliant work, as usual !!

[@Rustinox]

Glad you like it!

[@EmptyPocketProductions]

Miss you old friend, Never leave home with out my made in Germany clamps!

[@Rustinox]

Good idea. You never know what will happen.

G’day Rusti, excellent work. Cheers Peter

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Peter.

[@physicsguybrian]

I enjoy watching your videos! Relaxed approach and to the point! Great to see you looking good Sir!!!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Brian. I appreciate that.

[@arfonjones7188]

Love the tap tool. Brilliant as always.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks. And it works well.

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Michel, Nice work on the shaper... You really are the master of getting the best out of your shaper... Take lots of care. Paul,,

[@Rustinox]

Thanks, you too!

[@PedroMoralesRuerte]

Good night Michele I'm once again a pleasure to see you working with this planer, this machine in your hands looks like a toy. It looks like you're training some piece of aluminum. watching your video i have a camera like yours is small also a 400mm stroke and actually i use it a little bit i can't do what you do i sometimes use the tool but it is not as good as yours again Congratulations my friend and may God bless and give you lots of health to continue making your videos showing us there again congratulations

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Pedro.

[@rlferv]

Very happy to see you in the shop, Thank you for the video. you look much better keep it up!!!

[@Rustinox]

Thank you. I will.

[@AstraWerke]

Still on the To-Do-List for mine, too. I was hesitant because I'd run into the same space problems with an L-Design, too - but your way should do just fine. Thanks for showing!

[@Rustinox]

Go for it Adrian. And show us the result.

[@AstraWerke]

@@Rustinox As soon as I have a job that requires one, promised :D

[@GoCreatehms]

Some lovely shaper work there, even watching a shaper video is therapeutic, loved the scary parting off and love the shear tool, lovely work and great video!

[@Rustinox]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@unclebobsbees4899]

Nice work Rusty part holding its always a problem. Hope Spring come soon so you can stop freezing in the shop!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks. I hope so too.

[@leerogers6423]

Great video. Anything that gives us a few ideas for workholding is always useful, not just on the shaper , it applies to all machining . Good to see you looking well ,take care of number one.

[@Rustinox]

That's a bit the idea.

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

Watching your shaper part a 20mm thick plate of steel was most impressive. The resulting angle plate came out very well and no doubt has proven to be very useful to you. 👏👏👍😀

[@Rustinox]

It Is. I use it regularly.

[@sierraspecialtyauto7049]

That's a solid piece, Michel. Now if you drill and tap a pattern of 6mm holes, you could also use it as a mini-pallet.

[@Rustinox]

I was thinking the same thing while i was making it, but i will do that the day i need it.

[@howder1951]

Nice results Michel, that shaper is kind of relaxing to watch. Now you have made a very nice bit of tooling for the future. Good to see you out and about, take care and cheers!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@HaxbyShed]

I think I watched you machine that cylinder the first time around :-) Your ideas are always so innovative - like the tool made from a tap.

[@Rustinox]

Thank you very much. The tap sheertool works really well.

[@billjulian9496]

I like this fixturing, and will be using more of it when I run the shaper. Great stuff!

[@Rustinox]

Go for it. It works great.

[@sharkrivermachine]

Nice finishes on the cuts. That plate should be very ridged. Thanks for sharing.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Steven.

[@EmmaRitson]

looks very good. also good to see you Rustinox. thanks for the video.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Emma. My pleasure.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Michel, it’s awesome to see you back in the shop,and your looking really well, the shaper is a very universal machine and I should use mine more but I guess I’m lazy, there’s only one thing I can say to that is I’ll never wear it out, fantastic videos mate, thank you, cheers Matty

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Matty. Using the shaper is easy. Just go for it.

[@dass1333]

M.I.G clamps. And sheet happens. Glad it's was only camera sheet. Nice work making your tools better. You are looking better too.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@briansmart2045]

Thank you for the nice video and the effort you went too making it . Kind regards Brian

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Brian. My pleasure.

[@CraigsWorkshop]

Very cool Rusti. I like the finish you are getting with the tap tool! You are looking much healthier. I hope you continue to improve. Hope you are feeling better. Look forward to more videos from you. (I still haven't got room for a shaper, but one day!)

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Craig. Yes, i'm feeling better.

[@CraigsWorkshop]

@@Rustinox I am very glad to hear it. :)

[@pegtooth2006]

I was in briefly to make a quick soup before heading out again to work outside and I had a brain fart and added too much granulated garlic. So I thought to myself: Really? Too much garlic? Not a problem! 😀 Merci pour le télécharge! Ayez une belle journée, Michel

[@Rustinox]

As long as you stay outside, too much garlic is indeed not a problem.

Thanks for the visit.

[@seamusbolton215]

Thank you, very enjoyable, love the shaper work Can I give you a tip for your glasses and a mask You will find if put just one drop of washing up liquid on a piece of cloth and rub hard it on your glasses leaving a very thin film it will prevent the fogging, hope this helps

[@Rustinox]

Thanks for the tip. Useful tips are always welcome.

[@neilgarrad4931]

Thanks again. Always inspired..That will do.

[@Rustinox]

You are welcome!

[@fasteddie4107]

Good stuffs, Rusty! Very useful information. Thank you for sharing. Was that a freeze in the cut @ 3:36? I have never seen that happen before.

[@Rustinox]

Yes it was. When i take too heavy cuts the belt of the machine slips. Note that i prefer a slipping belt than breaking something on the machine.

[@chuirios365]

Nice work my friend!👍🤡

[@Rustinox]

Thank you.

[@kevclar]

Just subscribed. Were you not afraid that things would fly apart when you were using the shaper with only one clamp to hold the rusty plate down? I don't own a shaper, but soon will. Just trying to educate myself a little before I have it in hand. Never mind, I looked back and saw the stop that you installed.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks for your sub kevclar.

[@yvesdesrosiers2396]

Well done!!! Thanks for sharing that poop happens!!! lol

[@Rustinox]

Thanks. When something goes wrong i don't edit it out of the video.

[@longcaster]

You have gained weight, well done. It looks like you feel good.

[@Rustinox]

Yes! Thank you.

[@MyHeap]

Dumb question for you Rustinox. What is the brass knob with the spring on the side of the clapper box? Does it provide return spring tension on the clapper? Joe

[@Rustinox]

Indeed. It prevents the clapper from lifting by inertia on the return stroke but left it free to move.

[@elanman608]

My father regularly used the shaper for parting opperations because it left a finished face on the offcut. For some reason people will always use the piece with the rough sawn edge last. PS I hope you are feeling better.

[@Rustinox]

On my machine the belt slips when i take heavy cuts. But sometimes it works.

[@robertoswalt319]

When I worked with IT project managers I had to break them of the habit of calling projects "easy" or "simple" those two words always guaranteed that a project would be cursed. I had them use the term "straight forward" which wouldn't curse it. It sounds like you experienced similar issues.

[@Rustinox]

Indeed. I managed to screw up "easy" projects.

[@RolingRandom]

Touchscreen problemen i.v.m. de winter?

[@Rustinox]

Er is iets mis met de memory kaart denk ik.

[@RolingRandom]

Ik heb er ook net 1 aan de kant gegooid, nog geen 4 maanden oud :( Na formatteren maakte ik een opname van 5 minuten en telkens corrupt.

[@craigtate5930]

I dont know what it is, but every time I watch 1 of your shaper videos I have this overwhelming urge to run my atlas. Surely it must be some strange medical condition. I ll call it "shaper envy"

[@Rustinox]

There's nothing wrong with "shaper envy". I have it full time.
