Opensided Shaper or Planer ?
 

I found item 7537241053 on ebay while looking for a shaper. (I'm not
affiliated with the seller.) The seller says it is a "hydraulic openside
shaper". It appears that the head remains stationary while the table moves.
Is this actually a shaper or a small planer? I have no way of moving 12,500
pounds so I'll have to pass regardless of price.

I'd call that a planer. Like you, I don't have room for it

but I still want it!

I've been drooling on that listing, too. And I won't be bidding, either.
Deep sigh.

There was a Rockford hydraulic shaper (28" I think) in seemingly mint
condition on eBay in Michigan a few months ago which went for under $500.
But I didn't have the space or the means to lift something that heavy so I
had to pass on it too.
