Shaper bits

[Tonyt]

I have these bits for a shaper. Bought what i thought was going to be a router and table and when i went to pick it up it was an older shaper and these bits were with it. I have no need for them and dont know what they are worth. Any ideas?

Keep them with the shaper. The next owner may need them 40-50 years from now.

That old huh? Are they worth anything?

Most router and shaper bits today have carbide cutters. Those you have do not. That reduces any value significantly.

HSS scrap sorry

Sharp HSS bits cut way better than carbide. Dull HSS cuts about the same as carbide. If shaping man-made stock, carbide is the clear choice. Someone new to a shaper should love to have those maybe $35.00 for the set.
Corob cutters still makes them.

A hand router upside down in a table makes a good substitute for a shaper just like a portable circular saw upside down in a table makes a good substitute for a table saw.
