Nothing available from the Orient? Perhaps a chinese or jap vise may be

I am also looking for a small shaper vise for my 7 inch
atlas. Only source of new supply I could find is Indian,
and these were not cheap.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
