{"product_id":"elliott-shaper-stock-code-3756","title":"Elliott shaper","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eOne of the first machine tools I ever owned was an Alba shaper,  from which the Elliott 10M was developed. When running it was a most soothing  presence in the workshop, the ram swishing back and forth was rather like having  a longcase clock ticking in the corner. In time I bought a big vertical mill,  convincing myself I wouldn't need a shaper again so sold it. Within twelve  months I missed it and bought another, this time making the mistake of acquiring  a huge thing (bigger workshop by then) which was never as nice to use - it  didn't make the move up to Lincolnshire with us five years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eNow I find myself looking rather wistfully at this one, trying  to convince Geoff that it would be dead useful for all those keyways and gears  we might need...\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA bit scruffy looking, but substantially in good order, it runs  freely, none of the castings has been broken or similarly abused, worktable is  in good nick and even the vice is not too bad (although with the standard  longitudinal scars across the tops of the jaws endemic in shaper vices).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eElectrics are three phase, although a motor change would be a  straightforward job.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIt has power feed to the table, the machine runs from 46 to 122  strokes per minute with clutch to disengage the drive.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019945562453,"sku":"3756","price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3756-1.webp?v=1779908792","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/elliott-shaper-stock-code-3756","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
