I just don't know what to say. Adept shaper abuser or Genius hacker?
Well, this is a Frankenstein! I've seen some interesting motorisations (word?) of these. Shame the table is gone. Love to hear opinions for some holiday humour... found this on Facebook Marketplace.
Please don't tell me "this was the special Adept model 123-45..... I do want to see it run on that moving dolly.

Oh no! I'm not buying that! I have a very nice Drummond hand shaper that is coming long very nicely. And it's going to stay hand operated!
They wanted $1000 for that Adept BTW. Ha!

Very interesting, possibly made from a casting kit many moons ago when such activities were common, Trustee in the Toolroom era?
I'd pay a hundred or two for it because its cool and unusual.

Get it Motorised as this Moving Head Shaper made by a Sydney Toolmaker/Craftsman in the 1980's
Needs some TLC but still working in my Garage/Workshop.
I have a Video but too large to upload

Interesting set up. Unless those castors are lockable it would move around the floor a lot till the power cord plug pulled out.

Hi Col2310,
Interesting that the whole head moves across rather than the work table ! I've not seen that style before.Best Regards:
