    Hi Jordan,
    That is very late as far as shapers go. (from what i've seen anyway) The prices are interesting too. A good Aus made vice for more then than you can buy a Vertex now. No wonder we don't make anything anymore.
    Shouldn't have had enough years to get to worn i hope.

    I might do likewise. Mine's a bit of a basket case.

    In your case Jordan, the basket looks pretty full, mine's close to empty.

    How is your's for wear, bad as mine?

    Yes, it puts things in perspective.

    Bob.
    I haven't measured anything, but it doesn't seem grossly worn. It has done lots of work though.
    One of the centre thingos is damaged, with an unfinished weld repair. The electrics need a good going over.
    I'll do a photo session on it some time, when I can get closer to it.
