Poor accessory planning, good shaper:

Very happy with the speed of delivery. Have had it in operation for 3 weeks now. Set up is a little cumbersome with having to remove the fence to change the rings and change bits. I have used it mostly with the ½" collet and it's power and cutting speed are fine.
I dropped the 5th star because of the accessories. I ordered the Jet JW1044 4-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch Reducer. While it is presented as a solution for us with a shop vac powered dust collection system it is more like a kluge. The adapter... more info

JET 1-1/2 hp Shaper:

This is a fine piece of equipment. I am not sure if the door latch to access the motor and belts is the same as others described, but it works fine and allows you to access the interior of the machine without turning any screws or knobs-just a quick pull on the handle and move it out of the way. The fence with it's independent adjustment works great. The fit and polish of this shaper is perfect.

awkward fence:

For the money it's an OK machine and the router bit adapters are handy, but the fence doesn't move far enough back to change bits. At least one, sometimes both, T bolts must be removed to get the fence out of the way for bit changes.

Great shaper foa a reasonable price:

I was really impressed when this shaper arrived. It was a lot more sustantial than I imagined from the photo and the price. I am making kitchen cabinets and this tool is exactly what I wanted. I have seen router tables close to this price range. It is a beautiful tool. This is a great tool for the small shop or home craftsman. Between the 2 router chucks and the 2 spindles, this tool is very versatile. Now go order one.
