Hi All,
I just read a thread about shapers here. I always liked their simplicity and noticed this:

Thanks Mark I may give them a call, I'd have top store it until I get a new shop. But interesting.

Good luck Daryl.
If you get it, I might have to contract you to make me some dovetailed dies for my trip hammer.

Grant,
You do know that one measures it's capacity in millimeters and you need a lathe to put the kit together, right?

Good Morning,
Invicta 4M has been following me around for a while. Sits in a corner, doesn't bark or bite. Has VERY GOOD manners. I don't have to clean up it's messes, it's VERY quiet. Once in a while I even stroke it and say what a nice boy you are. lol

If you followed the instructions very carefully you could use it to build your 1/12th scale power hammer!

Mark, I'm doing a purge on my shop the last couple days. I'm thinking I will pass on the shaper, price is right but, for the amount I'm going to use it and the limited space I have I would rather have the space. A friend is a tool and die maker, my money may be better spent keeping him employed. He is also very reasonable, and hobby blacksmith.

That Peerless in Sask. is a sweet machine. Universal table AND the original vise??
Larry- there is a Sheldon up in Skagit county on CL- don't know what stroke. I've been looking at lathes.
he's got a Clausing I may want to go look at : http://seattle.craigslist.org/.....45013.html
Maybe go for the package deal?

If anyone wants that Peerless, they can let me know and I can pick it up and hold onto it until you are ready for it. I would imaging that shipping from Saskatchewan to...anywhere else would be cheap though.

Mark did you contact Ian?
This is what I got from him
[FONT=Arial]"The stroke is 18" the power requirement is 208 3 phase. Weight we have no record of however our skid steer can lift it and its capacity is 1 ton.
We will load.
There is no tooling with this machine only the operating handles."

Daryl, no I didn't contact the seller. Although it would be a cool toy, I don't have the room, money, or 3-phase power right now. I had first right of refusal for that 25 pound Western Giant trip hammer that was for sale for $300 a couple of months ago and passed it up for much the same reason.
Although it's an unlikely scenario, I just thought I would try to help out any of the forum members that might want to buy the machine but can't pick it up right away.

Wow, passing up on a trip hammer? I've heard of such things back east where people find abandoned Nazels and things. It's the hardest thing a blacksmith can ever admit: I have enough tools~...

You should have been around when I sent a couple hundred ton of old iron to the scrapper. Mostly old steam hammers, couple of bulldozer presses and even a 2-B that was missing an anvil.

I'm not to that point yet:rolleyes:. I already have the same make and model of trip hammer, so I thought it would be nice to have a 2nd so parts and dies are somewhat interchangable. But, like I said, the funds just aren't there right now. Of course I still somewhat regret that decision
