    My big fat gloat

    Found this on Craigslist a couple of days ago. I was surprised to find that it hadn't been sold, so I got off the phone, did not pass go, and went straight to the sellers shop.

    Hammer B3 with scoring, tilting shaper, six foot slider, 3 phase 5HP x 2 and mobility kit for exactly $1000.

    Oh, and it's all in working order.

    Here's a good opportunity... I've looked at loads of shaper pictures but what are they used for? Are they simply beefy router tables?

    In a really general way yes. They use different cutters that are heavier designed for slower speeds and are (can be) MUCH more powerful than even the biggest production router motors. The tilting spindle opens all sorts of other doors as well.

    "3ph 5HP x 2"... is that one 5hp motor for the saw and one 5hp motor for the shaper? And how do you plan to supply the 3ph?

    Yes, it's got two separate motors. I've already got 3 phase service.
