Wood shapers are sometimes overlooked when it comes to woodworking. They have advantages over table saws, jointers, and even planers in some cases. Wood shapers are not as fast as a jointer or table saw. They can be used for complex shapes that would be difficult on a jointer or table saw.
A Jet shaper can cut very narrow pieces that are smaller than those made on a jointer or table saw. Shaper tables can use blades for rough shaping and then switch to a final blade for shaving parts to use in joinery. Shapers also have the advantage of being able to do inside cuts that would be difficult on a planer without using t-blades. Wood shaper tables are also easily adjustable at all four corners so there is no need to spend time retuning your setup when you change angle cuts.
