Hi cowboy
Many of the items sold by HF and Grizzly are made by the same company.
Delta 43-505 Router/Shaper
NOTE the reviews on this machine.

Note,,,,most shaper cutters should NOT be used on a router,most are made in the HSS format some have carb. tips..
, they can't take the speed or the heat.
And most have a 1/2" ID. hole for mounting to a shank arbor and some are 3/4" ID..

Thanks for the clarification.
I understand the concept of torque vs speed etc.
Still not sure I would invest in one --
But - I would love to come across the Delta unit.
BTW -- the MiniShaper (third on your list) looks and sounds pretty much like the HF unit -- but with fancier 'cosmetics'. Interestingly it is listed at $20 LESS than the HF unit. |
