Hi all
I'm wondering if this is a good match. I recently fell into a Jet 1 1/2hp shaper which fit my needs/budget/space perfectly. I ran some 3/4" quarter round trim using feather boards, and had to sand out lots of ridges where I'd hesitated as I fed the stock. So now I'm looking a power feeders and have a few questions.
1)The weight (27lb on a 200 lb shaper) and power of a "baby stock feeder" seem to be a good match for a smaller shaper. Anybody using this combination? I did some research and small feeders seem to get mixed reviews. I'd love to hear some feedback from anyone using this combo.
2) The next size up is the 1/4hp feeder, at 80lb. Overkill for this combo? I know that the reviews are better for this unit, but I don't want to create a dangerous situation.
At some time in the distant future, I will be running several rooms full of crown molding. The rest of the time will probably be short runs of profiles for furniture.
