Would you buy a combo Shaper/Saw? - NO

?I don't already have one.

I don't because I took a good long gander at how? organized and methodical one has to be to use a combo and that just isn't me.?

I am not an organized person, I don't do this for a living.? Time is not of the essence. It is all about the journey &? not the result for me.?? Yes I want great results but?? the journey is where my heart is.

So a combo would have been a very unpleasant? thing? - - for me.

Specifically, if you have a small footprint shop (hobbiest).

If you already have one, I would love to know if you would have chosen differently.

I make furniture for a living. My shop is a coop with 3 other full time builders, and a couple hobbyists. We have 2 KF700's with 80" sliders. One is often setup with a pattern cutter for template shaping. We also have a 10' stroke Panhans, and a Sawstop. No stand alone shaper here and it's never been an issue. Obviously our situation is unique, but I find that the? saw shaper combo isn't a huge compromise. Even before the current redundancy, I could manage with good work flow. I can always cut another part on the bandsaw for example if one went awry. I usually make a few extras anyway.
