    Tool holders for AMMCO Shaper

    My new AMMCO Shaper has a size 0 lantern tool post on it. I plan to investigate ways to install an improved toolpost with emphasis on the one that @140mower developed.

    Beaver wood bandsaw - $250 - Toronto, On

    Sounds like a very good man. Just sticking up for his messy piler genetics. But I would have had a real good talk with you about how your tidiness was getting in the way of MY productivity! And then I'd have hounded you like a crazed wild animal. Ya, you were much better off with Peter......
