After going through a big reorganization of my small job shop I came to the realization that I have sold off my machine that has a manual quil and now I have no machine capable of easily placing and tapping holes. I also have realized that I have a nice 16" shaper that is really nice to have but is probably third in line, behind the CNC bridgeport and the horizontal/vertical B&S #2 Heavy.
Here in the Houston area a nice machine needs to be kept in a climate controlled space for rust control. I am expanding the climate controlled part of my shop and I have room for one more machine. I was planning on placing the Cincinnati 16" shaper in that spot but now I am thinking a jig borer would be a better fit for me.
This thread features a machine that I think would fit the bill perfectly but it's a LONG way away and I can't talk the wife into taking a trip to Detroit
Anyone, within a days drive of the Houston area, willing to trade a Cincinnati 16" shaper for a Jig Borer?
