How to convert Mod 26 Shaper to Use Router Bits
I purchased sometime back but have never used, a powermatic model 26
shaper. It is in good shape and has a 5hp, 3ph motor. I can use my 3ph to single ph inverter and run it the same as I do my table saw. I would like to use my router bits. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, John |

PM sells an adapter for this, but it's pretty expensive, $150 I think.
Also check www.cggschmidt.com. I think they carry one that is about $100. Don't expect good results with small bits. I have a PM 26 also. The spindle turns at 10k rpm at most, which won't give good results with bits that require higher rpm. Big John wrote: I purchased sometime back but have never used, a powermatic model 26 shaper.
