These look to be an improvement over the tools Hive13 has in inventory. The joiner is much more modern and has a higher fence which makes it easier to get a good edge on a plank.
We have a shaper, but not any much tooling. The shaper has been considered too scary to set up. A shaper is a pro piece of tooling that needs the operator to set up guides and fences to avoid removing parts of hands. It's almost the antithesis of the saw stop.
