    Best Shaper Under $5000?

    Thread Starter: Josh Baldwin

    Router Bit won’t budge.

    Thread Starter: Connie Freitas

    Thread Starter: Zachary Hoyt

    I had the high bid tonight on this Rockwell/Delta 28-350. I've been looking for and bidding on these for the last few years, and I was the back bidder a few times, but this one went for a very good price. My reserve bid was $600. It's possible that there's something terribly wrong with it, but...
