Best durn tool I've bought!
I think it is unfair to rate a tool poorly because one didn't understand the shipping policies.I agree that buying large tools via the Internet is a hassle, but that is the buyer's choice.

Now for the shaper.I love it!I don't use my router much at all since getting this shaper. I bought the router bit spindle adapter and switch back and forth easily between router bits and cutters.I recently bought a full set of cutters for raised panel doors and this tool makes life easy!One pass and you are done--nice smooth cuts.

I'm very happy.

Make Sure To Read The Shipping Rates and Policies
I wish Grizzly would figure out how to better service the hobbyist.I ordered this machine but will have to cancel it because of the shipping terms.

The catch is the item's over 70 lbs.The receiver is responsible for unloading the item from the truck curbside.It costs an extra $67 to have the shipper unload it and bring it down the driveway.This gap in service causes too much inconvenience and adds too much to the total cost of the product.

I'm going to buy one of the competitor's products.There's one that has free shipping and they will unload it from the truck for you. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The professional cabinetmaker either already has this shaper—-or wants it. The X5 series of tools exceed Delta's exacting standards for pro-grade instruments, producing the very best results. This powerful shaper has three horses under the hood running a poly V-belt, while on the surface are two rock-solid, flat and true cast-iron extension wings and our favorite feature, the micro-adjustable fence, arguably the best on the market. Accessing both spindle speeds is a quick, no-hassle task. The cutter guard is easy to work with, and the smoothly tapered start pin gives you a safe way to cut away from the fence with a combination of cutters and collars. An absolute powerhouse, it doesn't whine or snag no matter what you feed it. Making raised panels is like a day at the beach with this machine in your shop. Without a doubt, this is among the finest shapers we've seen.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Raised panels, here you come. And you'll never have to buy another piece ofmolding again. The Shopmaster SH100's powerful 9 amp ball bearing induction motorwill run 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch bits at 12,500 rpm through any stock you feed it. It comeswith a two-piece fence, and the halves are independently adjustable, so you'll get precisedepth of cut and ample support post-cut. The clear blade guard does double duty, keepingchips and dust away from your face and helping the dust chute pull out the waste. Weparticularly like the spindle control knob and its height indicator scale, which makeadjustments easier. The lock knob securely holds your settings, and the 3-3/4-inch insertopening will take even the beefiest bit. The 18-by-20-inch die-cast aluminum table offersgreat work support and has a slot opening for accessory holding devices. Finally, thepower switch has a removable lockout key, so little fingers won't be able to turn on theshaper when you're not there. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

My opinion and experiences with Delta's router /shaper
Today I recieved my new sh100 Delta/shaper. Took me an hour to put it together. Everything looked good. Has a lot of rough edges on the aluminum table. I took care of this problem with a sheet of 150 grit sandpaper and some paste wax and five minutes of sanding the top. No more rough edges. This is no longer a problem.I must confess this isn't my first Delta shaper. I have the older model and use it a lot. Made a lot of furniture with this very inexpensive machine. I use it more than my Grizzly 3 horsepower and Delta 3 horse power shapers. Not saying it is better than either but I am saying it is easier to get this machine set up and running than the larger machines. This router shaper fits the niche between the larger and smaller machines and does a good job. When I make raised panel drawers I set the Grizzly up for cutting stiles. The big Delta for cutting panels and the router shaper for cutting rails. I use a guide on the sh100 delta when cutting ends on rails to cut out splintering. Works great. Even made a guide out of wood that works good on this machine.
my older Delta has been serving me for approximately 8 years now and while it isn't perfect it is a great machine for a little less than $250. If your not at least a little experienced in running this kind of machine, I can see that some of the features it has can be frustrating at times. Nothing about this machine should frighten you from buying it. In a short time u will be running it like a pro. One thing when u buy this machine. Don't expect to get a cadillac when spending enough money to buy a kiddie car. Ain't gonna happen. I see a lot of negative opinions about this router/shaper and for the life of me I can't understand some of the negativity. Buy one, study the book and u will be glad u did. Don't worry about not having enough power. In all my years with my machine I never bogged mine down once. If your afraid of it and push your wood too hard against the cutter u probably bog down. The induction motor on this machine is really a plus. It runs nicely and never screams at you like a universal motor on a router will do. I could go on for hours and your only going to find out how good this machine is by buying your own and learning to use it properly. I always figure any machine I buy is able to perform much better than my ability to run it is. Untill I conquer the learning curve.Thanks woodworkers. Mitch

This is NOT a bad machine.
Beleive me Ive seen much worse. Other than my miter saw, its the only tool in my shop with an aluminum top. The height adjustment is somewhat tedious, but not useless. Its not a micro prescision deal by far.

As to the reviewer complaining that it didnt come with a miter gauge... Why on earth do you need a miter gauge on a shaper table? The Miter Slot is for a featherboard, like the bench dog with slot adapter, not a miter gauge.

Ive raised panels, and done many things with this. Anyone who uses 1/4 bits in it is making a mistake. Why would you? Use 1/2 Bits in this machine. Raising panels is not a problem, and mine hasnt bogged down. Rememebr the one pass per 1/2" of bit diamater rule. The speed is a bit slow for smaller bits but it works.

As to the fence, Buy a $15 Incra t track, make an aux fence 1/2" thick and notched for the bit. This makes the fence a 1piece easy to adjust deal, and adds a place for two track mount featherboards.

I got this one for a steal at $129 on clearance at lowes and I really like this machine.

Will it perfrom like a 3 HP router and precision table with micro adjustment? No. Will it perfrom like an X5 shaper? No. Does it do the job? Absolutely.

Delta SH100 Shopmaster Bench Top Router/Shaper
ASSEMBLY: Assembly was straightforwoard and took less than 30 minutes.

SETUP: Table alignment was acceptable out of the box.

PROs and CONs: I purchased this tool for use as a router table rather than a shaper, and it seems satisfactory for this purpose. However, the overhead blade guard did not fit in the hole provided in the table, nor did the replacement Delta sent me. The usable vertical spindle movement is only about 1-1/4 inches, limiting the use of longer bits. Finally, the small size of the adjustment knob makes adjusting the bit height more of a task than it need be. ... Read more
