I've ordered a couple of parts for my shaper and used the G1026 parts list and it's been fairly successful. There have been some minor differences. Things like the reversing switch needed some...

Sweet, much nicer than the one I made a number of years ago for the D4 I have. If you design it right, you can put wheels on one end and store it vertically to take up less space.
Another candidate...

Reading this, I have a comment or two. As was mentioned, you likely can find all the info you want on this jointer over at OWWM, there have been many threads on this model before. On the question...

Though I've been using shapers for a lot of years, I've not had enough demand to justify adding a power feeder so that was never factored into the design. I've made several...

I think I have one in my collection. No problems from what I remember, happens to be one of those I don't use a lot.

Though I didn't buy my first machine back 38 years ago, I had already bought a number of router cutters and misc stuff from them by that point in time. I've since bought a few machines from them...

To the OP, here's my take on some general things. For a shaper, get one at least 3 HP to have oomph behind it. Get one that reversible so you are not limited to shaping only one direction. You can...

I know you weren't directing this to me but thought I could give 2 cents worth of thoughts being I have both a molder and a shaper and use both of them. You can get custom molder knives and shaper...

I have a brother that had a HVAC company before retiring and used one of those to move equipment in and out of the basement. Very impressive to watch in operation and allows a man to multiply his...

I have a Shop Fox clone of the W&H molder. I would say that to do all you're talking about you'd want the molder, a table saw and a shaper or router table. Things like rabit cuts for overlaps would...

I've also have had very good support from Grizzly, been buying router & shaper cutters etc. from the company since they were about a year old and I've since bought several Grizzly and Shopfox...

Bills comment brought up another thought: is one thing like the spindle metric and the other like the cutterhead SAE? Again, more details would be beneficial.

I'm a tad confused with your video/question. You have a cutter head that has some apparent play between the cutter head and the spindle, correct? Is this the only one with the play in it or do your...

I must be missing something. Just looked up that machine and it has 32 cutters total in the cutterhead, and each has 4 faces so they can be rotated if one side should get dull. Have all 4 sides...

Several years ago I did something similar to what Lee suggested. My jointer did not have provisions for dust collection. To make it work I made a wood panel to fit the end of the machine, fitted it...

I use this, in fact I have a roll in the shop right now. Another one I've used in an extreme stick-it or else situation, I used Alien Tape. Not the easiest to get off but it definitely held better...

Unless Santa Claus or the Tooth Ferry happened to bring one by, not going to happen. Now that I've retired, most of my woodworking is either for myself or friends. I have pretty much all the tools...

Alan mentioned there are some situations his setup guide won't work, I'm one of those situations and I hope everyone will take this as adding onto the info provided. I use a shaper and I always had...

Though I have not done a lot of Corian cutting as I take it Jim has, I have both used a circular saw with a good fine-tooth carbide blade and a larger router with a solid carbide spiral cut bit and...

I've never had to deal with that long a pieces, but I've used walnut gel stain and dye to even out the color. Just a suggestion.

I've watched the video multiple times and to me it appears that the sliding jig raises and lowers as the piece is passing through the cutter. Hard to confirm suspicions without actually seeing it in...

If you have a 30 degree shaper cutter, run the board horizontal for 30 and vertical for 60. You can also use a table saw.

I find this interesting. Do I use pocket screws: absolutely. Do I use them in every situation: no. Before people cry wolf, know I had a repair and restoration business for several decades. I did...

I made my own overhead arm guard for the saw a number of years back. I made up plans so it was like a big erector set. Mount it to the ceiling, either side of the saw on the floor, either...

Though I've seen mentioned watching the videos, how many actually have them and watch them? I have a Leigh D4, and when I bought it, it came with a VHS tape which wasn't the 'easiest' to watch. I...
