God I love shapers....:) The most common job on mine was when I fitted a QCTP to the lathe, and then the many tool holders that were required. I didn't pay much for mine, but given the amount of dovetails I have now cut, and all the dovetail cutters I haven't had to buy, I'm guessing the whole shaper is now paid for in savings...... :)
With regards to you table issue, once you find out why (if possible), the shaper should be able to 'heal' itself..... a face cut off the table.... but like I said, if it were mine, I'd like to know why it happened, and fix it if at all possible.
I hope you enjoy yours, I find it simply mesmerizing..... supposedly a machine you can set up and then get on and do other things....nope..I usually stand there watching.....watching.....watching......
