It is a excellent, well made product.

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:

A lot of what a router (in table) is asked to do really is a shaper's job but
the router is more versatile. *I'll stick with the router. *...at least for
now. *;-)

If you have to have one, a router is a better choice. But many people
I know will mount their router in a table and leave it there. In that
case, I think a shaper is a better investment.

I now have four. Am I allowed to leave one in the table (lift)?
