    Default Douglas Shaper and Extended Hercus Milling Machine

    A bloke in Sydney is selling a Douglas Shaper and an extended height Hercus Milling Machine.

    The milling machine has been sold but I remember someone asking about extending the height of a Hercus.

    His asking price for the shaper is a bit optimistic I think. Paid a lot less for mine, but perhaps they (like the Hercus stuff) are slowly appreciating. Can recommend the Douglas. Great little Aussie machine.

    Had one of these on eBay only yesterday. 'photos form part of the description; what you see is what you get'. In fact, the only description, not very helful. It was not clear from the photos which version one of the machine attachments was, so I messaged asking for clarification and he replied 'see photos, what you see is what you get'. Great. A proper answer to my question would have had a big impact on the bidding. He had a big starting price, and I suspect happy to leave people assume it was the more desirable attachment. I'm not bidding.
