JET TRADE!!
A.O.:
So I've been wanting a shaper and been cruising craigslist for a month or two. Just needed a smaller one, got some raised panel cabinet doors to make, some tongue and groove to do and possibly a front door, among other projects.
Anyway.. While looking, I find a new add of a guy looking to sell or trade a JET JWS-22CS shaper, after some negotiations I traded him my JET JWBS 12" bandsaw. Even up! I'm thinking his machine was worth more but mine was in better shape. He was wanting a bandsaw, and I was wanting a shaper.. I am pleased.
Now I need to go through the shaper and track down some missing parts, a guard, a couple knobs, and the collets to use router bits. No bits came with it so I need to get some of those too so I can try this little guy out.
Any words of wisdom concerning a shaper? I've used a router table for years so I'm guessing its about the same. I do see shapers run forward or backwards (spindle rotation) Not sure as to why..
So here's the trade
This
For this..
Had a bunch of other stuff he gave me with it, trying to figure out what it is ( I think stone countertop toolage) and if it has any value.

I don't have a shaper any longer, but what was noticeable was the larger cutters turn slower so less burning. Mine had a power feed head....great accessory.

Yeah, a small 1/8 hp power feeder is about $375-$400. I'm keeping an eye out for a used one..
Crusarius:
pickup a treadmill from the side of the road. has the feed belt and the variable speed motor. ppl seem to throw those things away ll the time.
Ox:
A wheelchair motor and variable speed control board would be less than $75 if you're handy enough to build a mount for it and figure out a way to mount a sticky wheel to it.
