Hello All,
I have recently acquired what I think is a part completed shaper attachment for a Myford Super 7 lathe. I’ve put photos in the album ‘Mystery Attachment – possibly a shaper’ in the photos section. Can anyone help out with identification – even if just to prove me wrong! The first photo shows the pieces assembled but this is unlikely to be correct – it was just to show what would fit where. I’ve looked through the various books on making additions for the Myfords but have seen nothing like it. The nearest was a shaper kit supplied by Hemingway, but this is quite different.
Many thanks in advance,
John

Might it be some kind of manual planing/slotting attachment?

The attachment is a Dore Keyway slotter the castings used to be supplied by Hemingway, I made one some years ago. Hemingway may still stock the casting kit.

Thanks Stick- I looked at the Hemingway keyway slotter on their website but the device shown looks markedly different to mine. It is referred to as the ‘latest’ design which infers an earlier version exists. If yours is the same as mine, would it be possible to have sight of the plans if you still have them?

Thanks,

John
