: Hi Joe

: Are you talking about the average home style shaper, or a professional size
: shaper? They use somewhat of a larger cutter. Around 1 1/8" or so and
: turn at around 40,000 Rpm. You can still get those cutters from many
: suppliers, but, they are usually stacked with something else. In other
: words, there will be several cutting surfaces on each cutter. You just
: have to pick what you want and align it to the material.

: The price you would pay for one of those cutters, you could take to the local
: Home Depot and buy yourself two routers and a set of bits.

Thanks, I just ordered the cutters from MLCS. A nearby store wanted $160 for the set. Hopefully these will be adequate. Meanwhile I have a lot of cedar to rip!
