Congratulations! I have noticed myself checking for shapers on ebay and craigslist. I have no need for one, but that doesn't seem to matter!

Let's never speak of NEED...
if my wife starts considering my need for items in my shop, i fear that i would no longer get things that i can't seem to live without!!!

here is some more literature, enjoy!

if your shaper did not come with a vise, fear not, you can make your own!
just add metal, apply tools and have the will !

As has been said many times, a shaper in the shop can make anything but money!

Leaves an amazing finish, and the attachments really make it a versatile machine. I'm on the lookout for a larger version, I really like the idea of setting it up for surfacing and being able to pretty much walk away and be working on something else while it does it's thing. Great score Mike. Cheers, Mike

You really had to post that didn't you. Over the last couple of weeks I think I have developed a need to own a shaper and the video didn't help! Now I want one even more.
