Or, maybe it's not a big power feeder… you tell me!!
I have a 43-340 Rockwell/Delta Heavy Duty Shaper, 2HP, 3PH. It has the cast iron base. Circa '68 I think. It has two 8" cast iron extension wings, making the table 27" x 36". One 3/4" spindle (and missing a lot of other parts - it's a project). My intention is to get a mobile base for it and keep it out of the way when not in use.
I also have a Delta Power Feeder, 36-850, with a 1HP, 8 speed, 3PH motor and 4 wheels. Would this feeder be too large to mount to the shaper with the shaper being on a mobile base?
Next question. Where's the right spot to mount this feeder? On the table proper? Or, 1/2 way on the table proper and 1/2 way on a wing? Do I tap the cast iron top or through drill it and use nuts?
Here's a picture. You can click the picture to see more pictures of it.
Thanks, Todd
