I used a shaper and lathe in my high school senior year machine shop class, and wanted one of each. Took me abut 35 years or so to get the first lathe, and a few more to get the shaper. I'm having fun playing with it, and will one of these days be having fun using it. I'm taking another class in machining, but they don't teach shapers anymore. Not too many years after my 1st class, they fell out of favor.
