Picked up this shaper from Ron (yellowfins) on Wednesday. A big Thank You to Ron.
Haven't done anything with it yet, except get it into the shop. Only took this one picture to satisfy the 'rules'. :gar-Bi
I am planning to use it with my larger router bits for now.
So, all you shaper users. where do you buy your tooling and what brands and types of cutters do you use/recommend?
I'm thinking that I want to get an insert head and buy cutters for it as needed. Anyone have any experience with the CMT sets? Or Amana (although they seem a bit pricey).
How long do the HSS cutters last and how difficult are they to sharpen? Or, where do you get yours sharpened?
Tell me everything you know about shapers. :eusa_danc
TIA.
