Those huge 3.5" dia blades scare the hell out of me.

I'll stick with the router, also. Somewhat limited but more versatile.

B.I.L. worked on a shaper professionally and made a vest of 1 x 2 pine, in a
ribs like fashion. He tooks some ridicule for a long time until a few years
later a shaper did throw a blade and it stuck in the vest. WHEW !
