If I were you I'd MAKE space for this beauty. After all, it's only a bit of wood,concrete, tin and maybe some insulation for you lucky guys to keep out the heat.

That would be snatched up quick if it were near me. Machinery desert around here.

Looks a nice machine with quite a small footprint. I like shapers and it’s surprising what you can get them to do with basic tooling if you put your mind to it. Interesting to see the reference to an “ aluminium ram “ on a previous model. Why would you want an aluminium ram on a shaper ? !

Less reciprocating mass, you can run it faster without it trying to walk across the floor.

If it was closer....

One that size is great as it can do most all the odd-ball operations that they are so good at, yet it takes up so little space. I've been looking forward to the day that one appears on our floor and I can chunk all our broaching tools in the scrap bin. Just clamp a pulley in the vise and walk away (momentarily).

 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I would have thought on a shaper you’d want more mass in the ram not less. It’s a bit like having an aluminium sledge hammer. Nobody else that I’m aware of tried that idea and it significant that the OP said the aluminium ram was discontinued.
