- 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.
The similarities are with function and the differences are in performance. Both tools are stationary and the operator moves the work, not the tool. Both use fences, collars or bearings to control the path of the work. Shapers are essentially for edge or end cuttings. They are cabinet shop and millwork tools, and as such are heavy handed, heavy duty and heavy weight. They are designed for all-day door, drawer or molding operations.
