Small travelling head shaper
I'm fairly sure this is a locally made version/copy of the English Adept travelling head shaper as seen on Tony's site:
Adept Shapers
The stand did not come with the shaper but would suit it o.k. with a bit of adapting/drilling - it balances on it well as seen in the pics and a motor would mount easily on the rear. It could possibly be used manually if a large flywheel were fitted instead of the pulley, but it's setup to be motorised really.
Pickup only from Sydney inner-west - $500 with stand or $450 without.

Hi Kryn, thanks for your interest.
The shaper by itself weighs around 25-30kg, maybe a bit more - the stand around the same. The shaper would fit in a box roughly 550mm x 450mm x 300mm internal.
The table is 180mm long and 165mm wide and has at least 120mm vertical travel, plus the tool adjustment itself. Toolpost slot is 8.5mm x 17.5mm.
However at this stage as i said, my preference is for pickup only and cash payment then (after inspection of course), would be good, thanks.
