I will measure the stoke properly ( only got it thursday ) I know there is not a lot to them but there is an issue with the downward travis ( not working) simple to repair but would be nice to see the parts breakdown before I start also a dial at the rear of the machine that has two settings cant see what it might do, may be to do with the hydraulics not sure

it has four speeds but to me the slowest looks fast enough for me the fastest is so fast cannot imagine using it

its a really nice machine and has been well cared for by the sad to say late owner

there seems very little on the net on atlas shapers other than the very small model, I have an atlas horizontal bandsaw but see the same bandsaw on the net badged by many different names but the identical saw

I have also read atlas did not make machines just rebadged them with their brand so I wonder what make my shaper really is ? might make finding a manual easier

well not really a model engineer but I suppose engineering no mater what the size is the same

I have a good range of machines starting with a beaver mk2 milling machine a sheldon r15 engine lathe an askwith radial arm drill a bank 4 pollard drills a jones and shipman 540 surface grinder and a doall metal bandsaw also bought a clarckson tool grinder with the shaper

plus quite a bit more welders etc

I think I need help !!

just bought an ajax shaper but there is no model number on it that i can see the guy I bought it from thought it was an 18 inch but i think it may be 15 or 16 inch cut has both cross feed and down feed very nice machine does anyone have any idea where I can get a manual for it ? cant find anything online for it
