Thanks Larry.
Thanks Larry.
Dont most shapers have an arm that you move and it puts pressure on the rings or at least the very outside ring?
have the two tone, very fashionable. I had just thought when people were talking machines its a bit more than names and a bit what model as well, the T160 I saw for the first time was a much more substantial machine.
I see the Minimax T55 W Elite is on sale for $8K new. Not a bad machine.
Had to dig the gomad tilting spindle out today so I could run 100 feet of drip cap. IMG_20171117_115737_670.jpg20171117_115430.jpg

Nice dust collection. ;-)
You should probably get the tenoning table out of the way and send it to me, you know, just for safetys sake.
That one has some miles on it, the plane marks being worn all the way off. Would be cool to know how many miles of wood have gone across that table. Mine still looks like new. Bet its a lot!
The planing marks on the table look the same as every other gomad shaper or saw I have had. The insert rings are beat up, but I have the ones that are oblong for tilting the spindle, 4 spindles including a router collet one.
They are built like a tank, an ugly tank, but a tank none the less.
I agree. Every time I sit down to have a coffee I look at that thing and think, "Damn, that thing is ugly!" Thought about painting it red with flames, but that is as far as that got. They sure work good though.
I don’t know, guys. It looks to me like Darcy has that Rubbermaid bucket positioned just about right for the chips.
