I have had this one for a few years and as far I can tell, they

It is a excellent, well made product.

Considering one for my Bosch router. Leaning

WAY too much money. Buy a shaper already!


Are you adding in the cost of the sharp things?


Shapers can run 1/2" router bits.... in fact, they do so quite well.
A set of cutters, the insert kind, don't have to cost an arm and a leg
either.
One nice thing is the induction motor of a shaper. quiet and constant
speed. Usually pretty nice fence (two piece) dust collection, and a
nice sturdy table. This looks like a lot of machine:
