The ability to climb cut (no chip out ever) and the ability to have 100% feed speed from start to finish. Perfect hold downs and hold ins. Ability to set up the shaper as an edge jointer or the ability to run molding or door parts and have the machined and dimensioned all in one pass.
I am sure there a lot of others I am missing. It seems the options are nearly limitless.
