Thought I'd posted here about using one but can't find it. Yes Shawn they work wonders, they work on your shaper too. It was an article on shaper tooling that enlightened me.
I needed a good finish on some 2 inch sched 80 pipe here.

Another advantage of this tool seams to be how efficient it cuts. The pipe here was close to 4 feet long. With the shear the work only bowed enough to show 0.001 lager dia in the middle. Pretty sure any other cutter would push the work away a lot more with out a follow rest.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
