Yep, i definitely wouldn't call myself a KZfaq pro! 😆 Hopefully though i can make content that people want to sit through and maybe even learn from. Thanks for watching!

BC - Thank you for the shaper vids. I'm getting closer to retirement and plan to spend time hobby woodworking, something I've wanted to do since my high school classes. If room permits, I may be adding a shaper, so these vids are a real help. Thanks again.

Oh Doug, retirement is overrated. At least that's what i need to keep telling myself! 😅 I have limited space in my shop too, that's why i went with the combination machine. Thanks for watching!

@@brycecomerwoodworks I need to amend my comment - retirement from house painting in SW Florida. I plan to make & sell K-horn speaker kits, plantation shutters, interior custom doors, and a few furniture projects I've sketched out in the past 15 years that are not like anything I've seen. I am giving serious thought to the combo machine. I watched your door vid the other day and was amazed at how quickly you were able to make it. Your channel should continue to grow because you are more about the craft, and less about fancy slick editing and corny jokes. Suggest you either make a Patreon account or monetize your account here - I'll buy you a coffee as an appreciation for good content. Cheers.

Thanks for watching @makosharksimmo8124 The next videos will go into deeper detail, especially on set up and use. Oh, and your handle is killer! :)

Every shop needs a few medium sized (400-800kg) spindle moulders. I'd agree the smaller light weight units just don't have the rigidity you really want.

@brycecomerwoodworks I keep trying to downsize from three down to one or two, but somehow ended up with four currently. I just don't like setting up and tearing down frequently like with one machine.

You can of course get a spindle for the spindle Moulder/ ‘shaper’ that takes router bits. I haven’t tried it, and I wouldn’t shell out for one, as you would get a good router table for less, the option is there but ( certainly for those of us in the Felder family 👍🏻)

@brycecomerwoodworks Ай бұрын

Yes, you're absolutely right. You still have the same issues as i explained though regarding the cutting circle & lack of mass of a router bit. I have the router spindle for that machine, & have used it on occasion. It's nice being able to utilize the shaper fence and feeder & have the large size of the machine, but it's rare that i use it, as most of the time i can do what's needed with shaper cutters & get a better job. For site work though, there's no beating a router, & you can of course always set up a quick and nasty router table with a sheet of melamine or ply and a piece of 1x material for a fence. Thanks for watching @Dazza19746. 🙂

Very true but when I bought my first shaper, all I had were router bits so it bought me time to figure out what shaper cutters made the most sense to get first. My router bits now only see action in a palm router.

@@thomasnourse7506 I can imagine! I use a router all the time, but it's almost always hand held.
