>>MACHINE<<
Sears Craftsman ½" spindle shaper, built by the Central Speciality division of King-Seeley.
This is the Post-WWII design that replaced the 101.23810 Craftsman version of the Atlas 3500.
The motor pulley has a 5/8" bore.

>>HISTORY<<
April 2012: I purchased this shaper locally through a private sale.
The PO obtained this machine through an auction. No further history is known.

UPDATE-September 2017:
I no longer own this shaper--sold it to a fellow OWWMer.
