South Bend 7" Shaper Refurb
Updated July 11, 2003
Late model shaper with oil pump. Overall condition was good. Machine was pretty complete. The machine itself had about 7 layers of paint on it as did the cabinet. The machine and cabinet came from two different sources.
I used aircraft stripper on the cabinet and and then sandblasted it.
