From Forrests online literature:

• Designed and built in Germany to our specifications and available exclusively from Forrests. Made of the finest materials and machined to the highest standards possible.

• The base and bed are machined from one piece of billet aluminum for the best balance of strength, weight, and rigidity, then anodized for long life.

• The blade carriage is machined from one piece of solid brass to ensure long lasting shoes.

• The carriage rides on two linear motion ball bearings sliding over a large hardened and ground arbor to ensure easy movement with no play or flex.

• The hardened and ground blade is easily adjusted for side alignment and depth of cut using three adjusting screws.

• The gouge thickness is easily adjusted using one adjusting screw.

• The cane is clamped in the bed for gouging both vertically (by the spring loaded hold down arms), and horizontally (by the spring loaded end stop).

This earlier model profiler has had minimal use. The blade is sharp! This is a great opportunity to get into the reed profiling universe.
