The vise looks a little bit anemic, but the shaper looks pretty sweet. I might even know a guy with a little bit bigger vise.......
It's a Milling vise. Likely works just fine, but a Shaper Vise would be better!

At least this seller is not on crack at the value of the machine!
 
Figgers. While I wouldn't mind trying my hand at something smaller, a 24" stroke & 3200 lbs takes up a bit more floor space than I want to surrender right now.
And THAT'S why the value on it is as low as it is!

Takes a special combination of space and ability, to find a machine that size a decent home!
 
Big machines used to be cheap! But not anymore - up to 6000 lbs premium $$$
If I did not have a shaper I would drive for it from Calgary for sure.
I mean its like touch more than scrap price!
