Shaper was in a millwork shop and used as a dedicated raised panel door shaper (I believe exterior doors). In the early 2000's, one of the employees (office worker) purchased it to take apart and turn into a table router. He never got around to it and decided to sell it because he didn't really know what it was, or how to use it.

I purchased it 7/2/2021 to use as a dedicated "sticking" shaper for making cabinet doors. It was in the same condition previous owner had it when he got it. No fence, just an over arm guard for free handing milling raised panels.

The shaper came with a pneumatic lift/jack under the spindle assembly. On the outside of the cabinet there is a switch to raise and lower the spindle. I found the patent documents relating to the lift.

Note: When I went to upload these pictures, I didn't save the pictures from the original craigslist ad, I only have a few interior pictures right now.
