Follow the directions for finding router bits, and then look for ones that have a 1/2 inch shank -- assuming your shaper takes 1/2 inch bits. Otherwise you can get a reduction collet that will let you use the 1/4 inch shank router bits in your shaper.

Actually, what we are doing in most cases in converting a router into a shaper by mounting it in a table. For the light work that we do with such soft wood this is an economical alternative to buying a shaper.

Of course if you already have the shaper then there is no need to buy a router.
