A minor problem there. You have '\' as the later dividers in
the URLs, when they all should be '/'. Some Windows browsers let you
get away with that, but it is non-standard HTML, and won't work on all
systems. Certainly "wget" on my unix boxen barfs.

Nice photos, once that is corrected. Which shaper is that which
you are using? I don't believe that it is the 7" Rockwell/Delta/AMMCO
one which I have, because your table appears to have real T-slots.

Enjoy,

Hi, DoN. Oops, you're right of course. Missed that. Grant mentioned
there are similar fixes, which is where I got the idea. Grant
mentions them on his excellent 4x6 faq, Roy had pictures as well as a
lot of other stuff on his frugalmachinist site. You know, the one
that makes you tired just looking at it. How many hours does he cram
in a day? I've incorporated Chris Heapy's ideas as well.

My shaper is an early 8" Logan, which I really enjoy. The work stops
with teenuts were made on it. The table and table support are one of
its best features. The variable speed drive and chain drive make it a
little noisy, but not bad.
