I've got one. My biggest use is for cutting keyways. I got it to add shaper
ability to my shop without adding floor space trouble of another machine.

Warning: the tooling is damn near impossible to find. Not made new, and many
are camping on every eBay offer. I've made my own, starting with 5/8
diameter HSS rounds. I also made a holder for HSS cutoff blades.

I have a .pdf of the manual if he needs it.
