    Default SA Shaper - 18" 3 phase

    Tos HM45 18" 3 phase shaper with auto downfeed and Elliot vice. $1000 ono.

    I gave this a strip-down and paint job when I got it. I see some small areas are bubbling so I guess my prep wasn't as good as I thought.

    Most of the bearing surfaces are either worn or galled from lubrication failure. It had been at a training college and the oil pump was clogged so I guess that's why it was shelved. I repaired the oil pump system before deciding it didn't work very well and modifying it. Now the hand pump only supplies the ram ways and the other main points are just open hoses, which require constant attention while operating. It could be greatly improved with some proper drip oilers.

    For all its faults it still works very well as long as you don't need massive removal rates or micron accuracy. The power downfeed is a great feature because by rotating the head you can cut any angle you like, eg dovetails. I have the factory manual on paper and pdf.

    I will see if I can find some old photos of the teardown.

    Located Milang SA. Its listed weight is 1250 kg. I can load to a trailer, but not to truck height.
