MANUAL INCLUDED!!
(Wood Shaper in Great Condition)
It just sat 99%
of the time like an ornament. No kidding.
Used once for
testing, thats it. (In great condition with some typical cobwebs removed.)
Do you have
blocks of wood you would like to shape?
This wood
shaper is like a giant up-side-down table router.
You can run
strips or blocks of wood through the cutting spindle and have such
precision & beautiful cuts for kitchen doors, picture
frames, stair rails, ect...
Cuts? The cut
shapes are formed depending on what type of router bit you would use on
the spindle.
The machine has
three different types of interchangeable spindles. (1/2, Ύ
& 1)
About each
spindle: (3 of them are laying next to left side of the main drive
spindle.)

screws) Yes each spindle has two screws to secure the
router bits.

Each spindle
has its secure lock washer. The both screws for each spindle would need to

turning the mendrel handle (on the left side of the machine) 90
degrees to the left / right and push it back in
while swiveling the main drive spindle until its locked in position.

has two different speed settings. (By adjusting the belts at the rear of
the machine.) - (?) Email me through Ebay.

R.P.Ms &

R.P.Ms
Spindle rotation direction:
About using the
rotation switch on the front right side of the machine next to spindle
hand well.
If you turn the
switch dial to the right where it is marked FOR
on the panel and turn the machine on, the spindle shaft will rotate
clock-wise. (Has no effect on the R.P.M. Speed.)
If you turn the
switch dial to the left where it is marked REV
on the panel and turn the machine on, the spindle shaft will rotate
counter clock-wise. (Has no effect on the R.P.M.
Speed.)
About the
hand well:
Rotate the
hand well Clockwise to raise the main spindle shaft up
4. (From its lowest point.)
Rotate the hand well Counter-Clockwise to lower the main spindle shaft down 4. (From its highest point.)
That triangle
shaped dial right above the hand well locks the spindle
height in place when you rotate that dial clockwise.

fences on the cutting surface:
Bringing
them back or forward:
If you look at
the main spindle shaft, you can see the 2 metal pieces (about 2 high)
about 2 inches apart (from the middle of the spindle) on both sides of it.
Both fences can
come forward only up to 2 or they will slide
off the securing screws. (When each screw is turned counter clockwise to
bring them forward.)
Or
Both fences can
come backwards only back to 2 until they
start to tighten in the slide of the securing screws. (When each screw is
turned clockwise to bring them forward.)
(Manual will
explain that) - (?) Email me through Ebay.
Bringing
them to the right or left:
Both fences can
spread away (from the spindle shaft on both sides) only
up to 1-7/8 away (from its most contract position)
until you can not turn the dial any more
Or

$1,249.95 stated on my receipt from Harbor
Freight Salvage CO. (Some stuff blocked out for security purposes).
(?) Email
me through Ebay.
Comparing
two wood shaper models built by the same company:
You can compare
prices of other equivalent wood shapers at there websites if you like to do
so. Here are some examples.
Click on this link
http://www.grizzly.com/products/item.aspx?itemnumber-G1026
That wood
shaper is priced at $895.00 with around half of the
features it can do compared to this Central
Machinery #120 Wood Shaper in this listing. - (?) Email me through
Ebay. The other link is
http://www.grizzly.com/products/item.aspx?itemnumber-G5912Z
That wood
shaper is priced at $2,050.00 with more of the features
it can do compared to this Central Machinery #120 Wood Shaper
in this listing. - (?) Email me through Ebay.
If you average
the prices and the features comparing those two
Grizzly wood shapers together, It would come out to about $1,482.50.
Thats
correct, thats more then the price originally
purchased at $1,249.95 for the Central Machinery
wood shaper.
$132.55 More?
Well, let me continue.
Comparing
two models built by different companies:
Here are two
other equivalent wood shapers too with prices more then what my starting bid
is.
http://www.southern-tool.com/store/3_hp_woodworking_shaper.html
http://www.southern-tool.com/store/powermatic%20_25a_20shaper.html
That Jet
Wood Shaper is $1,373.82 and the Powermatic Wood
Shaper is $1,915.34.
These prices
are simply more for some of the other models.
Thats why my starting bid is $950.00. $299.95 less then the original price of $1,249.95.
Average the
four wood shapers together:
For the average
of the four wood shapers,
Grizzly
G1026 3 HP Wood Shaper @ $895.00 (Not that many features as
the Central Machinery #120 Wood Shaper) in this listing.
Grizzly
G5912Z 5 HP Professional Wood Shaper @ $2,050.00
Jet JWS-25CS
3 HP Wood Shaper @ $1,373.82
Powermatic
25 A Wood Shaper @ $1,915.34
Add four
of them up and divide
by four
.
$895.00 +
$2,050.00 + $1,373.82 + $1,915.34 = $6234.16 / 4 Machines
comes to $1,558.54.
$1,558.54
is more as compared to
my starting bid of $950.00.
$608.54
you save?
Before I go:
The heavy
duty pad with the wheels the Central Machinery #120
wood shaper is bolted on to makes 350 375 pounds so easy
to move. Yes, that pad comes with this wood shaper in my
listing.
(?) Email
me through Ebay.
Why so
cheap?
Moving/Estate
sale.
Got to go.
Pick-up
only is the only catch
with this item.
How to pay:
To pay into my
Paypal account, you will be given the option to either pay by your Paypal Account,
credit card or check.
Because of the amount
in my starting bid, After the auction is over and their is clearance
in my paypal account, Ill then call you to pick up this
item.
(?) Email
me through Ebay or.
Another words,
unlike your paypal account (which funds are instantly transferable),
if I see your credit card / check is cleared (that takes
a few days) in my paypal account then Ill call you to pick it up.
Sounds great? Ill then send you a full detailed route and map picture
on how to get to my workshop for pickup (Your home email address would be required
for that if ok with you).
(?) Feel free to email me through Ebay.
Thank you very
much,
Derek
