- Shapers are usually heavier in weight (footprint) than a router table. - Shapers usually have a heavier rated motor. - Some shapers have a tilting spindle. - Modern shapers usually have spindle sizes of 3/4 and 1-1/4 sized spindles. - Shaper cutter blades are comparable in cost to router bits.
I have done raised panel doors on both router table and shapers. I do prefer the shaper, but unless you are looking at production quantities, I'd probably stick with the router table! Short of the router bit adapter models, there are things you can do with the router table that a shaper won't/can't do. Even with the adapter, most shaper tables won't allow setting the fence back as far as router tables will. And there is still the low speed issue! Just my 2 cents worth!
