Boxford 8" Metal Shaping Machine - shaper, By C.Raynerd
This is the first run of my Boxford 8″ Shaper that I have been trying to restore. I have converted the motor from the original 3ph to a single phase supply, re-made the drive pully which had chipped and finally cleaned and oiled as well as getting over some other mini hurdles! I got this some months ago and it has taken a good while to get running. I have made a bit of swarf with it and it looks to be working fine but more video`s to come shortly of it cutting the metal stuff. I`ve never used a shaper so please feel free to leave any info or words of wisdom.
