What's your thoughts on using the Mark V shaper fence for an overhead routing
fence? I'm getting ready to do a round end with lip on 4/4 stock.

Since I'm new to this is there any reason not to use the power prop headstock in the vertical position with a router bit in the router arbor for routing along with the shaper fence?

Thats one of the major reasons to go with the powerpro. It goes to 10,000 rpm, which is the bottom end of some routers but plenty fast for many router/shaper operations.

Only one small caution - You will want to use some type of hold down for the wood. As the bit tries to cut into the wood --the wood will try to raise into the bit. A vertical feather board will do the trick - or my favorite, a pair of hold down boards clamped to the fence.
