The w1702 comes with three spindles - 1/2" 3/4" 1"

Shop Fox does not sell a 1.25" spindle, and according to their tech support, it sounds like this shaper will not accept a 1.25" spindle.
Is that a problem/limitation? I want to have access to the full range of cutters/tooling. I don't want to end up limited to specific manufacturers and/or price ranges. It'll be used in a one-man custom furniture shop, and I want to be able to use ALL shaper tooling appropriate to such work.
If anybody knows ANY reason NOT to buy this particular shaper, please SPEAK NOW or I will "forever hold the pieces"
Thanks
