c-list score

[bisley45]

I have been on the hunt for one of these for some time now and when I woke up Saturday morning and check my local c-list low and behold there she was. called the seller and was on my way to take a look as there were no pictures on the listing. it is very complete as far as I can tell its just missing the big hand lever on the top of the ram and the stand. but that can be worked around. 7" South Bend shaper enjoy the pics. Going to do a complete restore on this one for sure.

restore? - it looks fine with its original patina! - just spray some Kroil between every moving part and you are good to go!

That looks great just the way it is.
I'd like to get one of those someday. I don't need one, but I do want one.
Nice buy.

Yes you guys are right it does look just fine the way it is but I like the way these machines looked when they rolled of the assembly line when this great country was still GREAT.

Haven't Googled it but is it a mill of some sort?

Damn Bisley, that's a great find!! I'd like to luck up on an Atlas around here cheap but I won't hold my breath...Can't wait to see what you do with it!

before the mills there were shapers. mills are faster but shapers are very cool and don't take up much space. YouTube it and you will see what I am a saying.

It's a shaper. The tool moves in a plane, in and out, instead of rotating like a mill.

I've always wanted one too.

Thanks Nine I have been wishing one would pop up local for some time. I sure like the looks of the Atlas 7B shapers very nice lines for sure. but my south bend lathe was sure getting lonely all by its self ya know.
