Take very good care of the bearings in your F&E shaper. ABEC 7 bearings which were what was used by F&E are $680.00 for the set.

You should be able to find a real nice 24" pin router for under $400.00 and when you need it one jobs use will pay for it. Nothing like having a real 5HP behind that 1/2" round over bit.

houser is correct, buyers market on the pin pouter, buddy of mine just had one tossed on the truck when buying a rip saw, a griggio, too far to ship from here or i would send you his way, machine is big

thanks dadude....seems all of them are monsters.....i look at the things I have thus far for the shop and well its gitting filled. it may be a good idea to make use of the shaper for the things I would use the pin router for. but like said.....if it falls in my lap it might be a good idea too....
