Delta router shaper

[Robert Grady]

I found a used Delta 43-505 router/shaper for pretty cheap and was wondering if this is worth having. Anyone here have one and have a good or bad opinion of it? Thanks

Umm...if it's really cheap it could be handy for something. But generally, it's not very well thought of "out there". It's design pre-dates today's router tables and the surface area is small. I believe it's also an aluminum table with serrations if I remember the early NYW episodes where Norm used one before building his first iteration of the router table setup.
