Missing power feed, but a good project!

I came pretty close, but was able to resist the temptation. The fact that I barely have room to move in my garage also helped. It's been listed for a while, so he might be motivated...

$250 without 3 phase motor. And I think he'll go lower...

It is so cheap b/c its craigslist and no one in Canada uses that - if it was posted on FB marketplace or Kajiji it would be gone under 60 min.

Anyone in the area should pick it up immediately. At this price it is free. Most similar size shapers sell for well over 1000.

If I didn't already have 12" & 16" ones I would have had it home by now....... Surprised that it's still available, not many have been listed the past few years.

I agree on the pick it up. But around here Craigslist is the go to marketplace. On Kijiji you only get ads, or stuff available in Quebec. (paid placement?)

I'm headed to Vancouver Nov. 6 and might have to give into temptation if it's still available. Otherwise I'll take it as a sign. (from my wife, perhaps)

Bring it over to Calgary and flip it for 1000.

I was the 3rd person on the guys the list within 30 minutes of the posting. Some lucky trigger boy got that one. Would have been a great project.
