Overview of the South Bend 7-Inch Stroke Heavy-Duty Shaper
Recently, I recorded an overview of a South Bend 7-inch stroke heavy-duty shaper currently housed in a cargo container. This machine appears to be completely intact, retaining all original features and accessories, which includes the tooling and drawers.
The machine was transported from Oregon to California, and while it’s currently experiencing some challenges due to a nearby lathe that tipped over, the shaper itself remains functional. It may be a bit dirty and requires cleaning, but overall, it stands as a complete, original unit.
