Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Question Hey Pogo.......Tool question for you!







I have been looking on craigslist at tools...these 3 shapers are located close to me if i decide to purchase.........Do any of these machines stand out to you as ones i should avoid? or is there a particular one that you like best?

The one machine comes with a power feed and the blue machine comes with a good variety of cutter heads.... I thought it would be best to check with you before i made a potential mistake because i dont know anything about these and i have never even used one of these before

Any advise will be appreciated.

What brands are the green ones? I'd probably go for the Delta (gray one). You can readily get parts for them.

It depends on what brand those green ones are.

It looks like the bottom green one has a power feeder on it. That's a plus. Myself, I wouldn't buy a machine if it's made in China.

The bottom green one is a Bormac, the middle one is a National

And the top one's brand isnt named in the AD..it just says "magnetic starter, 3hp. 220 volt.

That gray one looks like a Delta. They are good and easy to get replacement parts for.

Bormac is made in Taiwan. That's not too bad. A lot of modern machinery is made in Taiwan. Some of the newer Delta machines are made in Taiwan. Mine is made in USA.

I don't know anything about the National machine. But it looks like it's a heavy duty piece of equipment. It might be a General (made in Canada). If so that is a good piece of equipment.

I"d guess any of them would do you a good job. It would depend on the condition of the equipment and the price. Whatever you get, you will want to add a power feeder if it doesn't already have one.

And... a big thing about quality work is the shaper cutters. Freeborn are the best period.
