New to me Ammco 6" Metal shaper

Never went to university, Trade School yes and I really didn't like it. My last 26 years I worked in Ontario as an Electrical Inspector for Electrical Safety Authority, enjoyed the job very much, but still hated going for training. I did okay but I never liked school then or still now. Neat story. Thank you for sharing.

Do you have a Cincinnatti #2 grinder? If so then you did 2 inspections at my house :-)
 
I lofted through school, a 51% was a perfect mark., unless I had an interest in the subject, then it was me learning about it on my own. It all changed when I met my wife and I got glasses.

Back to shapers. I was working in Tumbler Ridge in small machine shop. It didn't pay much ,but I was learning and doing time towards my ticket.. Things were quiet and boss told me to assemble those parts on a pallet . I hadn't a clue what it was. It turned out to be a shaper. He told me he wanted it to do internal keyways. After that I have a soft spot in my head for shapers.

Okay, this is getting a bit scary. Yes I have Cincinnatti #2 took grinder that came out of Barton High School Hamiton. One of the neat things about being an Electrical Inspector is that I get to meet a bunch of great people and get into fascinating places and people were always kind enough to show me around and answer my questions. Those questions were not always about electrical work done, but interest and passions that were displayed on that site. The down side of being an Electrical Inspector is that people come up to me and say, you passed the wiring I did in my basement 8 years ago. The reality... I go to 20 sites each day and can only remember a few of them.

What electrical work were you doing?

Jacques Cyr replaced my panel, and I was doing a basement reno with a permit. I had a Cincinnatti Universal Tool and Cutter grinder at the time. (Jacques was there, I think you said something like-since I'm here I might as well add a sticcker for your work).
We chatted more about the grinder and machining than the inspection. But you did check my work.

Well if Jacques was there, I know what ever was done, really didn't need to be looked at, he was that kind of guy. Too bad he retired and went to the east coast with his daughter. A very good contractor that I enjoyed working with/for.
