Model T combination pros and cons? I will be using for shaping before going into the lot-o for finishing.

Nothing wrong with it as an economical starter rig. An expando will fit in grinder end (flexibility) or a silicon carbide or diamond wheel if you just want rough shaping or to change wheels more often. Mine is a bit noisy and constrained space but a basic solid machine.

First machine I owned paid 50$ back in the 70's new with a 6" SIC wheel and spin on backing plate for sanding and polishing with SIC disks. IMHO it is probably the only machine one would ever need if they didn't plan on slabing big stuff or doing production type cutting.
