Grizzly G1035 shaper question

[keith micinski]

Is there a way to use regular half inch shank router bits with this shaper or do you have to buy special shaper cutters?

Thanks Cary. This is making it real hard to turn down this shaper I found. I was kind of hoping there wasn't a way to make regular bits work.

Sorry Keith. I will tell you what I tell my family, " If you are not prepared the answer, don't ask the question." :D

Yes, regular router bits work pretty good with the correct collet/adapter. I have the G1026 and use the the router adapter all the time. I do have regular shaper/cutters too.
