Delta shaper 43-375 1/2 inch spindle

[Tom Kelchner]

Recently purchased used Delta 43-375 shaper which when new shipped with both a 1/2 and 3/4 inch spindle. The used machine came with the 3/4 but the 1/2 inch is missing. Anyone know where I can acquire the 1/2 inch spindle?

There is at least one selling on ebay now. Delta part number is 43-347 for the 1/2" spindle. It looks like the OEM spindles for your shaper are obsolete and no longer available from Delta, so you'll have to go the used route. Parts for older Delta machines turn up all the time on ebay.

Have you shopped for cutters for 1/2" spindle? I bought a small shaper with a 1/2" spindle cheap once. After shopping for cutters for it, I sold it cheap. Your lucky to have the 3/4" spindle.
