I have bought another shaper just because I couldn't pass it up. It's an older (meaning better built) Sears Craftsmen brand with the 1/2 shaft. It is actually a little nicer, because of the table size, than my shaper. If anybody close to Louisville,Ky is interested I will sell you this for $200 the same as I paid for it. It would be a major hassle to get it palletized for shipping. It has nearly $200 worth of bits you can have with it.
