You have good reason to be concerned shaper work as all work with machine tools and cutters is dangerous. No rings no loss clothing clean spindle and cutters , safety glasses of course. Full body cutters !
The advantage he is mass and ease of operation , high quality cut .?
Start simple,,, 5¡± rebar block and work you way up. Most work in general is. Don w ith ?rebate cutters and groovers.?
Leave round overs to dedicated hand routers!

Responding to Imran¡¯s post.?
First, thank you for this information and explanation¡but shouldn¡¯t there be a clear and scientific/engineering based explanation of how to set this tool up correctly? It all sounds too touchy feely for me¡and too prone to operator error.
My C3-31 has been great, but I am still trying to complete the transition from my great shop made router table to the somewhat scary spindle shaper. Not to mention, the spindle shaper on the C3-31 seems less flexible than my router table. Am I wrong? Or just not understanding how to use this tool?
Thanks for any feedback, advice, and input.

?Hi David, that¡¯s true of the Felder spindles, however the Hammer MF spindle is in two pieces, the bearings, pulley and belt remain in the machine, only the top section of the spindle comes out.
If you want to use bushings with the Hammer spindle you would have to use the 30mm spindle and bush it to 1.25¡±, which is 31.75mm, which is a pretty thin bushing.
I find it convenient to share cutters with the saw, requiring the 30mm spindle, and I have a selection of 1.25¡± cutters so for me, having 2 spindles is useful¡¡..Regards, Rod
