I am glad there was a life guard on duty when your vise took a dip in the pool. 🤣 On a serious note I sent you an email.

welcome, hope you enjoy yourself with my videos

i have to admit having power down on my shaper is a luxury

[@DoMetalStuff]

I'd like to believe that. I don't really enjoy doing it by hand

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

I wish my shaper had power down feed. I would probably use it more.

[@DoMetalStuff]

the mechanism for the down feed is not very complicated. the problem is space. There are also people who built it from the outside. I personally don't really like that.

[@cyclebuster]

Well a wire shaft a coupler and a simple ratchet would do it. Mine moves quite easy.

[@DoMetalStuff]

@@cyclebuster that's true. I have seen such settings. but I don't really like that. when abom was repairing his g & e, i took screenshots that i find more interesting. that's doable. I just think I have a space problem on my shaper. and then the originality disappears a bit
