Striatech, perhaps, sort of, but Teknatool, not really, the Nova Drill Presses and Lathes are absolutely hobbyist products, and not cut rate hobbyist products at that, not to mention the Striatech...
So the Striatech motors that are used in the Nova tools (Teknatool), Rikon Bandsaw and Shopsmith 7 seems like a really cool compact technology I'd like to use in my shaper and I'm also really curious...
Just figured I'd share my Wixification of my Delta Shaper. I used Wixeys Portable Planer height gauge, well mostly because I knew from looking at the Shaper that the original height markings would be...
My latest updates to the Unisawper;
Wixeyed the Unifence.

Wixeyed the Shaper height adjust (adapted the portable planer Wixey).
OK, all very wordy time for some more pictures. I'm quite proud of my oval holes I made in the Unisaw table so that I could get the Unifence rail to line up all the way across with the Sawstop wing...
You're not an idiot, I personally think it's an amazing coincidence that the Sawstop extensions are so adaptable to the Delta. I mean as proprietary as most of the Sawstop stuff is, often annoyingly...
There is actually 2 different size wings used (2) 12" wings and (2) 8.25" wings. The former being standard Sawstop Professional/Contractor saw wings and the latter, also a Sawstop part, being a...
I also ended up slotting the holes in the front of the Unisaw top and drilling 2 holes in the front of the shaper top so that the Unifence front rail is solidly mounted all the way across everything...
Just an update, I got my cam latches for the Uniguard all installed, well all but one, they shorted me when I ordered, wasn't how I thought they were going to be though. I was thinking they were...
Not sure I'd call it a consumer level shaper, most of these were sold as 3 phase machines which doesn't scream consumer to me, granted it isn't an Invincia or one of the newer Euro spindle molders,...
I have already made quite a few modifications to how the Uniguard works for some of the reason you mention. I installed rubber bumpers on the guard arms so they can be, shall we say, less gracefully...
Ooo, my cam levers arrived, now swinging down the Uniguard is tool less.

For reference this is what the shaper looked like when I got it, and the Unisaw wasn't much better and in some ways worse, though I don't have any pictures of it:

This has all be done in stages as these things are, started out with just sort of blending the new wings into what was a fairly neglected Unisaw top and getting it all flat and consistent. for a...
Well, I said I was planning on driving the shaper at closer to router speeds. I would never consider driving it at 2 and a half times it's factory speed, at least not without some very serious...
Ah, hmm well that's a lot to address, Everything you mention IS a concern if not traded off for something else, but yes on over speeding the spindle, but no on double, it's probably beyond the...
it's a Peachtree Uni-T fence rail extrusion, they're local so I bought a whole 8' section of it, which in retrospect ended up being more expensive since when I got home and measured it it was quite a...
My latest project in progress, my full iron top mobile Delta Unisaw/Shaper mombo-combo dohicky. It's kinda a shop made tool/machine, right?
