picked up at recent auction
« on: May 06, 2019, 06:37:30 PM »
They had this with an 8" grinder and 5" bench vise.   Missing a couple of little parts and only has one punch/die set, but i know what this size was used for, so it's a good user for me.

By the paint it looks like a fairly new one, nice find. Sit down when you see the prices on dies sets!

no kidding.   30 bucks a set.   my no 5's are a bit better.   :undecided:  the base alone lists for 44 on Roper's web site.   folks on fleabay are asking even more.

Cool.  I've got the basic set - two, actually, that came used and, between them, had a full set of dies and punches.  A great tool.
