I third that...far over priced...even if it wasn't broken. The only
other thing to consider is the vice. Figure that's worth more than half
the cost of the rest of the shaper. No vice or bad vice, shaper value
goes way down. Good vice and it may have value as a seperate item, even
if the rest of the machine is a boat anchor.

I don't get it. What's so special about a shaper vise?
How is it different from a good milling vise?
