carl Meyer hammer electric shaper

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi John, 
one also needs to go down to radio shack and get a little switch to bypass the main switch, so that you can turn it on and not have to hold the triger switch down all the time. Using this device can miss shape hammers vrey quickly if one is not alert. Also a good support of the hammer at the tails helps to get a good result.  
See 301 - 1-2-3 on my site for the non-motorized version.

  Go to a yard sale, get an electric knife, and make your own.
  If I remember correctly, you just shape the knife blades, spread them apart, and attach a length of cloth sandpaper belt. I imagine heat would have to be used to shape the blades. Grind them to length, and grind off the edge of the blade.
  Of course, I have been wrong before. :-)
  Most techs have a good mechanical aptitude, so it should be do-able.
