And that's when he started wondering... how could I live so long without a shaper?

Looking good Dean, addictive isn't it???? I could quite happily see myself to retirement working this machine every day!!! Not going to happen so I will just need to wait for retirement to get my fix lol. I have managed 0.04” depth of cut in mild steel with 2 clicks (0.01") stepover, that was right on the limit. Cheers, Jon
@TheAyrCaveShop11 ай бұрын
Hi Jon, I pushed mine hard as a test once, at .03" DOC & the same stepover. I wasn't brave enough to go further, it was straining pretty good, ova course stroke length and speed also a factor. Addicting for sure 👍👍 Cheers...ATB....

Very much enjoying the shaper Monday posts. I'm about 1/2 way through rebuilding a SB 7" shaper, and your videos are a good incentive for finishing, as well as helping me to get started when done. Thanks!

Looks amazing!! I'm no expert by any means, but I think your timing is off. From what I understand, you want the table to traverse at the end of the forward stroke. That way the tool drags over the uncut part on the back stroke. From the slow-motion video, it looks like your table traverses right before the forward stroke or during the back stroke. You may want to ask Rusty on that. Once again, great looking part!
@TheAyrCaveShop11 ай бұрын
Thanks Jester, I'll double check that, might just be the way it looks on camera. Yeah setting up the timing was quite the process during the rebuild. ATB.....Dean

I'd say that was a dam good day at the spas for that little guy, hes looking better than ever lol! I've been looking for an Atlas shaper, I want to refinish one and get it looking and running just like your, thats a beautiful machine! Even on the lathe those shear tools give a great finish

Looks good, works fine and lasts a long time! I really appreciate your videos. It really helps me getting to know my SB 7" Shaper. I wrote to you previously about the sticking clapper. I got it unstuck and it seems to be working good. So far I have only worked with mild steel and aluminum. I get real good finishes on aluminum. With the mild steel the finish is okay but I think I can do better. I thought I knew about grinding HSS bit from my experience with my lathe. But, I find that the Shaper requires a bit more refinement. In short I'm still learning a lot. One question I have for you, the table on the 7" SB Shaper has Straight slots but no "T" slots, is this the way they are supposed to be? Keep the shaper videos coming, the more chips and swarf the better. KOKO!
@TheAyrCaveShop11 ай бұрын
Hi James, Thanks for the nice comment! I'm not sure about the SB table but I know they had an early and latter version. Mr. Pete has done a few videos on his and may show a close up of the table. Funny I just looked at some video when I was helping Chuck Bommarito with SB 7" he had for short time, it looks like the top slots are straight and the side ones are T's, but not that easy to see. Rustinox has a good video on the tool bits. I use a 1200# diamond flat stone for refining the tool edges. I found that really helps with the finish. ATB......Dean

I was going to say this would be faster with a mill and a fly-cutter, but I can't argue with that straight off the table finish... How long did it take to square this block up?
@TheAyrCaveShop11 ай бұрын
The setup time is a few minutes longer than a mill, mainly due to setting the stroke length and stepover. Cutting time about 3x longer than a Bridgeport or 2x longer than say a bench top mill. If I wasn't filming probably a 40 minute job. Thanks, ATB....

@@TheAyrCaveShop That is faster than I thought. Those perfect coils coming off the shear tool were very satisfying!
