Shaper Package

[reible]

Just one more thing.... shaper bits can be LARGE 4"-5" in dia so while a bushing might get it to fit I really don't think you will want to be spinning that bit around on the shopsmith. More then likely they are expecting you to use the set they supply. I don't have the set but maybe someone who does can tell us the diameter of those???

Do you get a good cut and do you have to make multiple passes?
I looked at Nicks video and it seemed to work very well.

When using the shaper cutters the profile is very smooth. I usually do two passes with shapers, this picks up those little irregularities and cuts down sanding needs. But there is little need for multiple bites.

With router bits, I have to take small bites and go slower.

I need to add - when making picture frames I will not rely on just one shaper cutter. I usually re-shape the profile with other cutters. This makes interesting stuff.
