As a general rule, if any part of or attachment fitted to a machine tool has been broken and welded back together it's time to look at some other advertisements
especially if you ever want to use it for precision work, It's not that you can't weld things back together, it's more, How badly do you mistreat a vise in order to break it like that? and if a guy is selling up all his gear it might indicate that he's not had much success with it and he's going to buy something altogether better or he has given up either way not a good machine to learn on as it'll just make everything harder.
