I recently acquired an older (1996) used Seco 3hp tilting spindle shaper.
So, all you shaper users. where do you buy your tooling and what brands and types of cutters do you use/recommend?
I'm thinking that I want to get an insert head and buy cutters for it as needed. Anyone have any experience with the CMT sets? Or Amana (although they seem a bit pricey).
How long do the HSS cutters last and how difficult are they to sharpen? Or, where do you get yours sharpened?
While we're at it, tell me everything you know about shapers. Seriously,
TIA.
