Bench-top shapers: five affordable machines for the home shop

Article Abstract:

The $295 Grizzly G1024 is excellent for a home shop that already has a router and has enough floor space. The $210 Craftsman 23910 and $189 AMT 4750 are a little underpowered but work well and fit into a small shop. The $199 Black & Decker SR 650 and $385 Delta 43-505 are also rated.
