Had the good fortune? to buy an Aamco 7" shaper. After throwing an inordinate amount of time and money at it, functions well and will stay. I'm having some trouble picking a suitable vise to go with the shaper. It came with a Skinner 3-1/2A. A very nice vise but this one is the most horribly damaged tool I have ever seen. I have a 7" Lewis shaper vise that I had stored butnow it seems far too large and heavy for this machine. Has anyone used one of the 3" or 4" Kurt Chinese clones on their small shapers? What are other options? A response I saw in this shaper section mentioned a heavy duty Palmgren drill press vise with a swivel base that I liked.
would like to hear your input on appropriate vises for this machine.
