Grizzly G0510Z - 1 HP Shaper

Awesome little shaper/router table for the small workshop. Little enough to not get in the way and large enough to do raised panel doors.

Wonderful product, just what I was looking for. I purchased a large set of 1/2" shank router bits and am using those instead of shaper bits so I need to access the bottom bolt a lot! While the wrench you included with the shaper is excellent, I would prefer something long enough to extend outside of the stand because I seem to bang my wrist on the side when the bolt loosens. A stamped 1/8" thick flat bar wrench would work just fine. Also, in the assembly instructions you might want to emphasize the fact that the belt might need to be tightened (as well as better directions on how to do so.). I had to do this before it would work properly. Finally, a piece of the outside of the drive belt peeled away almost immediately. So far I have just made two cabinet doors, but I'm concerned the belt might be defective and need to be replaced soon. I will keep an eye on it.

I absolutely love this! I like how I can use it as a shaper or a router table. I've used this to bead bird style trim on face frames of a recent bookcase I made. I've had NO PROBLEMS at all with this little gem. The only thing I would change on this machine would be a bigger table top.

Purchased this instead of replacing my router table. Very heavy, well built machine. Have done a few rail and stile joints and it works excellent. Really easy to set up. Needs to be cleaned of shipping and packing material such as grease oil and heavy grease on bed. Have changed it over to run router bits and have done a few drawer joints, seems to work very well. The fence is a little different to set up but once done it works well and is very adjustable. I will add longer,taller fence rails with laminate faces later. Looking forward to using it more as weather warms up. Grizzly customer service was a pleasure to work with. Helped a lot with all my questions about shipping and found the best way for me. Haven't found any problems with machine so far and don't expect to. Came with no shipping damage at all. Will definitely buy more Grizzly equipment. Excellent product for a small shop.
