These guys will spin cutterheads in excess of 12 inches in diameter.

Now that's a scary machine.  Nice touch with the bandage on the thumb... ;)

I assume the slowest speed on those shapers is around 3500 or so. Rpm is another consideration when picking cutterhead size. The larger diameter, the slower the rpm. Most shapers are between 7,000 and 10,000 rpm.

Good info. I guess I thought I could slap on anything that would fit and running it. It is good to have such knowledge at hand. Thanks!

Nice machine.

I have been thinking I need one with the programmable hood to help with my eyes getting old, but by the time you get it optioned out with everything I want I may as well look at Martins, and then they cost too much. If I get a job that will pay for one though, I'll have one.

The Uni. I have is as big as I would ever need, will swing a 14" cutter with a spindle support, but I would like to have tilt as I have become known for not being afraid of round work and tilt would help. I also want a tenoning table as I do quite a few doors, but ya, they just cost too much for now.

Of course, if I could afford every tool I want I could retire.....

I think if I walked through Tule Peak's shop there would be every tool I could want and probably a few I didn't know existed. I would love to take a tour of his shop, it looks like Disneyland for woodworkers.  8)

Got the cutters and put them on. It works smooth. Didn't bog at all. I did this in one pass for each side.

Total cost. $27 for the shaper and $66 for the cutters spacers and a bearing that I didnt end up using for this. Grand total $93.

Sweet success  8)

Never thought about it, I guess you can have more than one tongue/groove set.

I'd definitely call that a win.

That shaper book is still looking for an address to send it to !

50 years ago I worked in a shop that had a bunch of small shapers.  Different cutter on each one for small round overs and such.  Never had to stop to change cutters.  When you find more $27 shapers.....

We missed out on a big bandsaw and big rigid lathe that only brought $60 each. I was running out of spare cash. I am also needing to rearrange the shop. I am thinking of the best placement of each piece and future tools. A longer beded  jointer and a good table saw. The saw I want is co ing up in an auction soon.

You bet! a base that moves when I want but doesn't move when I don't. I think I could buy out the caster section of most stores and not have enough. things like old tire machines and other heave stuff that I don't use often that could be nicely rolled out of the way.

Use (or make) an engine hoist.  Pick up what you want to move, roll it to its storage space and plop it down.  Only one set of casters and you don't need to figure out a what to keep your tool from trying to move away from you when you use it. ;)
