Thinking of pavt's thread on a South Bend Milling Machine, made me think of some other stuff South Bend made. His thread with the mill here:
SB Mill for sale
In looking around there's actually a few shapers around for sale. While they are on the small side, I think the cabinet makes for a nice, neat total package, really pleasant. Perfect in a small shop. For actual use, for me they'd be best suited for cutting internal key slots in gears, hubs, or couplings. A mill being better at external items.
A link for one for sale:
South Bend 7" Shaper Original Base Cabinet Vise w/ Tools Dealer Owned Light Use | eBay
I stole some pics from the link, for thread interest and posterity.
