Having a decent router table built into the extension of my tablesaw, I
didn't see much need for a shaper--but I couldn't pass up the one I ran
across at a garage sales yesterday. It's an old-style, heavy, cast-iron
Rockwell/Delta beast and came with eighteen cutters, a mess of spacers,
and some little sanding drums. (Do all shapers come with microadjustable
split fences for jointing?)
It was marked with a $60 price tag, but without my having to say a word,
the seller said he'd part with it for only $40. Yeehah!

Where are all these clueless droids when I am shopping!
If it were for sale around here the seller would be asking new price for the
machine plus the cutters!

Flip side is a guy advertising locally for a used, beat up 4" jointer, wants
$75.00 for it and he notes at the end of the ad, that the thing doesn't
work... but it's in great condition.
Huh...???

Some cutter profiles will remove enough material, leaving none of the
original surface, that the outfeed fence needs to be closer to the
operator. This is the same reason a split fence is also useful on a
router table. It has little to do with jointing.
