I found a great deal on a 3HP Jet shaper a little while ago and posted about it. The advice from SMC was "get a power feeder and get some shaper books." Well, I read a few books and the advice there was "get a power feeder." So, I casually looked at the things. Kind of expensive, so I resigned myself to addressing that some other time.
Well, I fired up CL last night and, lo and behold, a Grizzly 220V power feeder--never used--for $300. Its a G4179, and its kind of a monster, but I decided to heed the signs around me. Picked it up today. Now, anyone wanna advise me on how much of a pain its going to be to drill four large holes for mounting this puppy in the cast iron table of my shaper?
No pics, no gloat, so here's a quickie:
