I have a bunch of raised panel doors doors to do for several cabinetry projects I am working on and really don't like my current router table setup very much. I am considering buying a shaper to do this work as it seems to be the tool for the job. While there is room in the budget for a shaper (something like the Grizzley G1026) there is not room in the budget for a power feeder.

I am not so much worried about doing the panels without a power feeder I am a bit worried about doing the cope and stick parts without one. Can anyone relay their experience - good or bad - of doing this sort of thing without a power feeder?

Thanks in advance for your time
