All -
I am starting a large run of raised panels and I’m not sure my router table is up to the task. Based on this I am looking to upgrade my router table and add a shaper to my arsenal. Unfortunately, my funds are limited to about $2000 plus/minus.
I am thinking a 3 HP shaper will do the trick. Using $2000 as a guide, I came up with several options. The lower end is represented by the Grizzly G1026. On the higher end is the Laguna 3 HP 4 speed. Considering shipping and tax, these two options are separated by about $850.
Any thoughts as to best value shaper (these or any other options) in the price range? Your input is appreciated.
