Just my thoughts Bill, a year or age is only a number, this case this is new with tooling, so in my mind
(I know what these sold for new) BUT this is 2013 so you just do the math. Example mine cost $450
& It cost me another $400 to get it > $850. It is pristene and for what we do, cant be without.
I dont think its a Mill v/s Shaper but rather a Mill married to a shaper. Many parts get milled first then
to the shaper for final finish. Undisputed finish with a shaper. Being a little slow right now, I have been
making a lot of T nuts, these are those telephone pole square nuts >6 at a time milled both tops, then
six at a time to the shaper, just like a mirror. So get it.
