Re: [GBW] board shear for sale
Hello again,
I have had this shear for years and have pondered the
5 1/4 inch start on the rule on the left for ages. By
writing this question, I figured it out, I have
attempted to type it out, but the left and right sides
got all mixed up, but I now I get it. Awesome
shear. Are they all this way?
Thanks for the insight, and putting up with me.
Still wondering about the extra parts.
