Well with my new shop just around the corner I'm thinking about my next tool. I'm torn between a Joiner or a shaper. I have been getting along with my planer and TS but a nice 8" joiner would be nice however, I also think that a shaper would be more useful. Right now I have a router table built into my TS that works OK but I know a shaper would quickly be a lot better. And if I needed to edge joint some boards I could do it on the shaper. The only thing I wouldn't be able to do is face join and I do that now on the planer. So what do you guys think. One of the local machinery suppliers has several old Arn shapers in stock ranging from $650 - $950 less tooling.
