Editorial Review:

Includes X5 3 HP Heavy-Duty Shaper - 43-495X, 3 HP, 230 Volt, TEFC Motor w/ Full Voltage Magnetic Starter, Controls, Motor Pulley, Poly V-Belt Drive, (2) 10" Cast-Iron Extension Wings, Micro-Adjustable Fence & Guard Assembly, 3/4" Spindle, Table Inserts, Starting Pin, 2-Speed Spindle Pulley, Wrenches, Instruction Manual.

The professional cabinetmaker either already has this shaper---or wants it. The X5 series of tools exceed Delta's exacting standards for pro-grade instruments, producing the very best results. This powerful shaper has three horses under the hood running a poly V-belt, while on the surface are two rock-solid, flat and true cast-iron extension wings and our favorite feature, the micro-adjustable fence, arguably the best on the market. Accessing both spindle speeds is a quick, no-hassle task. The cutter guard is easy to work with, and the smoothly tapered start pin gives you a safe way to cut away from the fence with a combination of cutters and collars. An absolute powerhouse, it doesn't whine or snag no matter what you feed it. Making raised panels is like a day at the beach with this machine in your shop. Without a doubt, this is among the finest shapers we've seen.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Please read my review of the Delta 43-437 before you buy this shaper!

Great Machine:

This is a pricey tool and I thought long and hard before my purchase. I am soo happy that I decided to make the purchase. The shaper performs as well as it looks. It came with less than .0015 run out in the spindle and .00213 tolerance across the entire 40" of the tabletop. It's fit and finish is great and its ability to shape makes my 3hp router look wimpy. The fence system hold downs are a little arkward but time and use has settled my negitive feelings about the usefulness of the system. Do not hesitate... more info

good machine:

I just set this machine up yesterday and I love it already. I have been in the cabinet business for years and this is the most easily adjustable fence I have ever used. This shaper is worth the price.
