    Thinking of buying a BIAX Scraper or have a Green motor model? Read this.

    Thanks for the reply. I love the videos you have created over the yrs. Would you have Ed’s email and phone contact? FYI I looked at the part numbers from Biax comparing the old part numbers to the new part numbers and it looks like all they did was change the first 3 numbers. I am only referring...

    Thinking of buying a BIAX Scraper or have a Green motor model? Read this.

    Do you know if the mechanical parts from the motor forward are able to swap from the black motor version to the green motor version? I would think that Biax would not re invent the wheel on these !. My 12 mm shaft on my Biax flaker has some wear and I would like to replace it. Also the...

    Biax green motor models

    I recently bought a Biax 7ELM scraper and a flaker. Both are green motor model. Both were in relatively good shape. I replaced the armature bearings on both units just for peace of mind. My question is does anyone know if the mechanical parts from the motor forward are the same as the new black...

    Pratt and Whitney 12” model B vertical shaper

    Well figured out what the problem was with my Pratt and Whitney 12” shaper. The lower pin that moves the clutch sleeve was seized. Removed pulley, belt gaurd, a spindle support, and entire clutch assembly. Removed all the old gear oil. Got pin to move . Took everything apart and cleaned in my...

    Pratt and Whitney 12” model B vertical shaper

    Yes I believe you’re right on the clutch being the same. I have the manual with the cross section views of the mechanical design. I did take apart the clutch plate assembly today to inspect and the only thing I noticed was the plates were a little greasy. Quite normal since it probably hasn’t...

    Pratt and Whitney 12” model B vertical shaper

    Yes I know the clutch goes over center to engage. There must be a way of setting it up so it snaps in easier. You shouldn’t have to force it to disengage or you could brake something inside. I ran one of these identical machines in my younger days and I remember the lever having a light snap. It...

    Pratt and Whitney 12” model B vertical shaper

    Looking for someone with knowledge of a Pratt and Whitney 12” vertical shaper. I bought one last week that was in good overall condition. The problem is the clutch lever that runs the ram is locked engaged. When I went to view the machine to purchase it was disengaged. Upon startup the machinist...

    Looking for a manual for a 12” Pratt & Whitney vertical shaper

    Thank for the info. I just bought one last week in decent shape. Waiting for the rigger to deliver it. I did find a manual for a 6” version. The one I bought seems to be difficult to engage the clutch to engage the ram. I think the company I bought it from had it set up to tight. I am very...
