Aussie shaper
« on: January 02, 2016, 09:44:17 AM »
Gents off the back of my previous post the rexman lathe came a shaper also Australian in origin.
Came from the same source my G.P. fathers estate.
Asking for the same again any info would be helpful.
Cheers John.

It looks like a Atlas 7B with a different label.  They did make one under the Acorn brand in England.

RGS thanks for the info, I have been through the Lathes web site but never made the connection.
