Billyboy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi BOSS Have had a chat and Darren he wants the power hacksaw - just to show condition would you still post up a few pictures please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Cook Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hello, I may be interested in the shaping machine. Do you have an idea what it weighs and could you let me know the dimensions. Cheers, Don. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheds Moderator Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 That was quick, thanks gents. The power saw is sold to Billyboy, or his friend, BTW it's in good order and nice condition, you won't be disappointed at all. I thought I had pics but my camera has thrown a wobbly anbd my folks are on hols now, I'll let you know when they return. Don, WRT the shaper, I will check out details for shipping weight and workshop space reqd. It's pretty heavy, at a guess 150-200kg but not in the same league of massiveness as the miller he sold, which was 600kg! I'll confirm the exact weight and size, it is the sort of thing you could manhandle onto a trailer or a Tranny van, unlike the miller which was the kind of thing that would leave a Tranny with a hole in the floor.

Don Cook Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi there, I’m also on the lookout for a good medium sized lathe. A Colchester Student, Master or Triumph or similar. I don’t suppose you’ve got one of those as well? Cheers, Don. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheds Moderator Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Afternoon Don, The Colchester Bantam was sold a year ago. Smaller than you would want but a lovely thing, it had milling attachments and the works. If you could only have one machine it would have been ideal. The buyer is one of us, BC is better than model engineering forums for selling this stuff. The remaining items are: Blacksmithing eqpt inc a forge, anvil, etc, a 3 phase converter and the shaper. Coming soon a wood lathe and a very old bandsaw, and a variety of small parts - dividing heads, 4 jaw chucks, driving dogs, steel (various) the list will be lengthy but we are ploughing through it a few bits at a time.

Billyboy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 BOSS Let me know when it can be arranged Can you tell me a little about the a 3 phase converter Would this alow a 3 phase drill press to be used from a 240vsingle phase supply - its a heavy drill press mind - an old one so not sure of the power draw it will have thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyboy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 O and how much would this be? if it were to be sold with the hacksaw? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheds Moderator Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 The converter will run any 3 phase device up to 2HP. I don't yet know the price and my Dad is now on hols but I'll work out a price shortly. I don't know how big your drill press is but 2HP will run a decent size miller so it will probably cope. Most drills are less than 1HP. Edited by - batteredoldsupersport on 30 Mar 2011 21:38:09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyboy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 OK BOSS then provisionally put my mate down for the converter - I will get him to find the loading of the drill motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheds Moderator Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Done, Billyboy and I have sent your pal Darren an email. Thanks a lot, it will be a couple of weeks until they return, they are getting the hang of this southern european sunshine bit and spending my inheritance rather effectively. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheds Moderator Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have found a manual for the shaper, it's bigger than I remember. Footprint 28" wide by 43" deep, stands 47" high. weight (brace yourself) 750 lb. Yes, it's chunky. Needs to be though for stiffness. It is transportable though, various people on the net describe dismantling it into manageable chunks to load it in a van. In contrast with the miller this IS something you can ship on a decent trailer. Here is the manual: http://www.neme-s.org/Shaper%20Books/Elliott%2010M%20Shaper.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
