Hi Mike

I think it's the same type that Bob and Rick like to use and used on the show a time or two to make Stile & Rails doors.

Hi Mike
That's what I thought, I have one also but they can be a bit tricky to setup and use, I think Bob and Rick like it because they don't need to remove the fence and replace the bit with a new one and then set it up again with the new bit, you/they can just move the bit up or down and make the new parts.

This is a nice bit to have in the bit tool box but a pattern set is almost a must ,the one I have came from Grizzly and it comes with a bearing to help set it up and it works well but only in the 1/2" shank size.

HI Woodnut65

That's a GREAT point to make, most Shapers Don't use bearing some use rub collars for some jobs but the fence is the key with them and they can do the job with just a 3/4 HP motor at Spindle Speed: 8,900 RPM.
