Has anyone installed a Jessem Mast-R-slide on a shaper? I have a Powermatic 26 and vintage Delta 4 foot shaper that I could put it on. I am concerned that the sliding table is too far away from the spindle as most sliding table shapers have the sliding table near the spindle.

I tried it

too much slop too far away to keep it accurate you also cannot clamp stock down close enough to the spindle to control it safely
Build a coping sled , way better
Let us not seek the Republican Answer , or the Democratic answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future John F. Kennedy
Thanks Joe, figured as much. I have a coping sled since I don't have room to use the sliding table in my current shop.
