I own one vintage Delta HD shaper (similar to Unisaw) and love it. Thinking of adding a second shaper to my work shop.
Most of my work shop is OWWM type tools. (Okay, hollow chisel morticer and Mitre saw are Asian...)
Was thinking vintage Powermatic or Delta for second shaper, but friend of friend is unloading two Jet shapers at give away prices. The catch....not in great shape, unheated storage for several years, one unit had leak over it, thinking of taking two units and making one good one.
What is your vote, spend more, go OWWM, or try to rebuild/work with JET shapers?
How is Jet/Powermatic for replacement parts...and how many JET shaper parts are direct interchange with Grizzly?
Anyone own a JET shaper and is happy with it?
