Thanks - something to keep in mind.
Most of the trimmers I've seen are 30,000 RPM or higher so would need gearing down most of the time. They've generally got cylindrical bodies which makes mounting them easy I guess.
I guess the other thing to consider with mounting it on a shaper is trying to keep the mass as low as possible while still keeping the rigidity in the spindle. A small high RPM motor like a trimmer geared down would fit that requirement.
