I have purchased my first shaper. Delta 43-460 that is now a 5hp single phase model (thanks Delta). It is an 1 1/4" solid spindle model but will also accept 3/4" and 1/2" spindles.

I need to learn about and purchase some cutters.

What advice do uses of shapers have?

Which cutters do you wish you would have bought from the beginning?

How many people use shaper heads with interchangeable blades?

Any advice to do this right from the beginning?

I have Lonnie's book on order and one other shaper book on order as well.
