This 1 HP Shaper provides the best of all worlds - a rock solid router table, which allows the use of most 1/4" and 1/2" shank router bits, as well as a powerful shaper, which opens up a new realm of 1/2" bore shaper cutters. A split adjustment fence also makes edge jointing and full edge profiling safe and easy. This Shaper should be a part of every woodshop.
