Shaper Porn

Guys, the clue is in the video title - slow motion, ;) ....it was filmed in slow mo, the recording doctored etc etc etc .......proven by the speed at which the chips fly at the end of the cut.
As for the ''camera shake'' I've a feeling the camera was just stood on the vice or machine table and the shapers motion is making it rock slightly.
 
Seems like the "motion" is not related to the action of the ram. Any rocking should be tied to the forward stroke and almost unnoticeable on the backstroke. I think somebody was holding the camera and not very steady.

Not that I much care.. but WHY do so many shaper or planer vids show ALUMINIUM as the material? Cut that s**t with damned near anything you have handy, sawdust-maker tools included.

Shaper and planer lived-on past their sell-by dates where the target was Hadfield Alloy specialty rail sections or Manganese hard-face stick-weld (my patch, Lee-Norse chain guides) to be cut-back clean.

Sure a lot more affordable to keep re-grinding a few single-point tools than to burn-up costly milling cutters.

That's the main use for my shaper ,cutting nasty stuff that would trash an expensive milling cutter.

He says on another video that his wife helps him with the filming.

Seldom-needed shapes is the other.

Person could have four sets, seven to the set, of involute cutters - costly enough, each to support a "rental" market - yet still need a different one, else a "modified" undercut special in too-small ID or shaft centre distance.

With a Shaper under-roof, there's not even an absolute need for any bespoke gear measuring tools. None. Zero.

Just grind HSS to fit a broken gear or its mate, adjust as needed.

Dead-wrong for a revenue GEAR shop. Right handy when you ain't such.
 
Nice Job Limy Sami,
We still use our 24" Heavy-Duty Cincinnati when ever possible. One of the best things that we did on this machine was to make a feed stop. On larger work pieces that need a cut to a shoulder, we set the stop and walk away. One other thing we did was to use a cobalt blank 1" X 1.5" X 8" and grind it just like Cincinnati recommends. Be careful with the chip path though, the dark blue chips are hot/heavy and will burn up through a work boot sole (like butter).
