Shaper vices are one of those things that seem to be stripped from machines very readily so when the machine is sold, sometimes it has a vice and sometimes it does not.
Can I suggest that those of you with shapers post photos of them and (if possible) some dimensioned sketches/drawings so that members looking for them (or other going through second hand shops) can recognise and get the vice they crave?
The dimensioned sketch is because sooner or later I think we will be at a stage where the only way to get a 'genuine' shaper vice of the same brand as the shaper may be to recreate one (that is, get casting made and machine as per the original).
