Hi Ed,
Nice looking shop you have! I was wondering if the shaper is a Gingery machine? I have made the Gingery shaper also. One way to help eliminate the flex is to add a substantial base to the machine that extends beneath the work table to use for an adjustable table support. It will also be useful for mounting the whole assembly onto and make for easy moveing of the machine. I have not implemented this on my machine yet either but it has been on my list for some time.
Best regards,
Wes Spence
