I've been complaining about how second-hand machinery never has all it's accessories, like missing change gears and the like. Keeping my eyes open for a shaper at present and I found one (way too big for my purposes) on an industrial online auction site. 30" jobbie. I did notice that, in keeping with the trend, the vice is missing.

Looking at the other pieces of machinery for sale on the same site, there's a big old milling machine and sitting on the mill table is- you guessed it- one humongous shaper vice.

Actually I'd love a shaper that big but I doubt that my RPC would run it.
