Have any of you had any experience with insert cutter systems for shapers like the ones from CMT or Amana? I DAGS and didn't find any reviews or opinions. I know I'm bucking the current popular trend by using a shaper instead of a router table, but it's what I have so... The insert systems seem like a good idea because you get a whole bunch of profiles for alot less than you would pay for the individual cutters and the inserts are quite reasonable when it comes time to replace them. What I would like to know is if the quality of cut is similar to the individual cutters and if the inserts hold up for a reasonable amount of time. I just don't like to buy things that I haven't used or at least talked to someone who has used them. I have become gun shy over the years because too often I have been bit in the butt by things that don't work like they are supposed too. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I sure appreciate all of you who take the time and effort to share your knowledge and expertise. You have saved my bacon more than once. Happy sawdust, BC
