There is a South Bend Shaper for sale on Ebay in Virginia as a buy it now for $2,100.00. South Bend 7" Shaper | eBay The asking price is not cheap, but it has some accessories of note. It appears to be in reasonable condition, has the original cabinet (perhaps with a new chip tray),a possibly original lamp, a vise, two rotary tables, angle plate, indexing attachment, as well as various assorted dodads which pertain to the shaper. The indexing attachment is not really common, bordering on rare as I have seen only one or maybe two for sale over the years. The rotary table is not as rare, but for some reason sellers seem to ask unreasonable amounts for them. Overall the pricing to me seems sort of reasonable with all the included tooling. I am not selling this, and have no clue who the seller is.
There is one included accessory which I have no clue what it does. I looked at my SB shaper, and the circular projection projection from the unknown device is way to big to fit into the shaper table. I wondered if it was a device that fit directly into the ram, but it still seems too big. I asked the seller what it was, and asked for more pictures, which are enclosed. He thought it was a mount for a vise, but I don't see how it would attach to the shaper even if the shaper table was taken off. I wonder if this device is even usable with a SB Shaper. If anyone could enlighten me, please do. I enclose two pictures showing most of the accessories in a general view, with three views of the unknown accessory.
