    Default Smith and Mills shaper on Gumtree

    Described as a 'Smith and Mills keyway machine", this is a very nice looking big shaper for someone, located in the Melton (Victoria) area:https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/melt...ntent=vip_test

    I've heard shapers can be hard to find, but hiding them behind titles like 'keyway machine' is taking it to extremes.

    Yes, it was bit of a fluke that I saw it, and realised that anyone looking for shapers would not find it, as "shaper" appeared nowhere in the listing.

    So I thought it would be worth flagging to the forum, as its much too nice a shaper to see it go for scrap. Looks like it has found a new owner.
