  • Page 3: Introduction

    We are proud to offer the Model G1024 Shaper. The Model G1024 is part of a growing Grizzly fam- ily of fine woodworking machinery. When used according to the guidelines set forth in this manual, you can expect years of trouble-free, enjoyable operation and proof of Grizzly’s commitment to cus- tomer satisfaction.

  • Page 4: Safety Rules For All Tools

    If you are not familiar with shapers and their safe operation, we strongly suggest you obtain as many books on the subject as you can. Grizzly has a number of fine books available on wood shaping. A visit to the local library, or time spent browsing through back issues of woodworking magazines will prove beneficial in gaining knowledge of shaper operations.
  • Page 5 KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep your work area well lighted. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a safe dis- tance away from your work area.

  • Page 6: Unpacking

    Never operate machinery when overly fatigued. The Model G1024 Shaper is shipped from the factory in heavy-duty cardboard packaging. Carefully remove the cardboard box by cutting through the box at its base. The top of the box can then be lift- ed off and set aside while you make your inspection of the machine.

  • Page 7: Piece Inventory

    Take a quick inventory of the parts and put them aside for assembly later. Since the majority of the shaper is pre-assembled at the factory, there aren’t a lot of items to inven- tory. You should have the following: Rubber Feet Hex Bolt M6-1.0x12 Hex Nut M6-1.0 Flat Washer...

  • Page 8: Clean-Up Before Assembly

    Your Model G1024 Shaper represents a fairly large weight load in a small footprint. For planning pur- poses, the intended work area should be able to take a uniform distributed live load of 100 pounds per square foot.

  • Page 9: Electrical Service Requirements

    The Model G1024 comes with a standard 110V cord and plug. Its motor draws 10 amps. While that is not excessive, using the Model G1024 on a circuit that is already close to capacity could result in overload. If possible, add a circuit specifically for the shaper. A 15-amp circuit breaker is ideal for the Model G1024.

  • Page 10: Assembly

    Carefully lift the Model G1024 Shaper from its packaging. Be sure to get plenty of help when attempt- ing to lift or move the machine. The Model G1024 Shaper has a shipping weight of more than 150 lbs. Make sure you have plenty of help when it comes time to move the machine. The Model G1024 is largely pre-assembled at the factory, so very little actual assembly is required.

  • Page 11: Stand

    The Model G1024 Shaper features an A-frame stand. Begin assembling the stand by attaching the four rubber feet to the bottom of the side panels with the M6-1.0x12 hex bolts, M6-1.0 hex nuts and " flat washers provided. See Figure 4.

  • Page 12: Fence Assembly

    The Model G1024 Shaper comes with a two-piece adjustable fence. Before attaching the fence unit to the shaper table, you will want to “wood” it. The wood fence pieces included with the Model G1024 are pre-drilled and counterbored to allow the slotted mounting screws to rest below the wood surface once they are tightened.

  • Page 13: Safety Guard

    C. SAFETY GUARD The Model G1024 features a clear acrylic safety guard which is designed to deflect wood chips away from the machine’s operator. To attach the guard, slip the support rod into the hole provided in the bracket bolted to the back of the shaper table. See Figure 7. The height of the safety guard can be adjusted by loosening the locking knob on the bracket and raising or lowering the support rod.

  • Page 14: Safety Procedures

    X. SAFETY PROCEDURES This tool is capable of causing serious injury if used recklessly. This doesn’t mean that the machin- ery should be feared, but it does deserve a healthy respect for its power and potential danger. At the beginning of this manual we shared some general safety procedures with you. We want to re- emphasize a few points we feel are critical to safe shaper operation: GROUND EQUIPMENT PROPERLY.
  • Page 15 14. HAND SAFETY. Never pass your hands directly over, or in front of the cutter. As one hand approaches the 12-inch radius point, move it away from the cutter to the outfeed side and repo- sition the hand at least 12 inches beyond the cutter. 15.
  • Page 16 21. MISUSE. Do not use the Model G1024 for anything other than its intended purpose. If used for other purposes, Grizzly disclaims any real or implied warranty and is not responsible for any damage or injury which may result from that use.

  • Page 17: Adjustment Section

    XI. ADJUSTMENT SECTION Any adjustments or maintenance performed on the Model G1024 should be done with the power off, the plug disconnected from the power source and only after all moving parts have come to a com- plete stop. Make sure the machine is level and secure.
  • Page 18 Workpiece Outfeed Fence Infeed Fence Cutter Rotation Feed Direction Improper Fence Adjustment Figure 11 When the shaping operation removes the entire face of the workpiece, the shaped surface will not be supported by the outfeed fence when the fences are paralleled, or mis-aligned, as shown in Figure 11.

  • Page 19: Spindles

    " spindle on your Model G1024 Shaper is capable of using most available ters with maximum diameters of 2 Remove the spindle nut and safety washer from the spindle shaft. Some Model G1024 Shapers may feature a lock nut instead of a safety washer.

  • Page 20: Spindle Elevation

    The Model G1024 Shaper features a locking spindle which can be adjusted for up to movement. To adjust the height of the spindle: Loosen the locking knob on the right-hand side of the shaper. Reaching under the shaper table, move the vertical adjustment lever right or left until the spin- dle reaches its desired height.

  • Page 21: Rub Collars

    Spacers aren’t always machined to close tolerances and not every ball-bearing can be used as a rub collar. Grizzly carries an extensive line of spacers and rub collars designed for use with Grizzly shapers. See the current catalog for listings.

  • Page 22: Examples

    Rub collars may be used in any of the following positions: Below the cutter. Above the cutter. Between two cutters. Suppose you want to mill a provide adequate contact with the rub collar. Remember that the width of the rabbet is controlled by the diameter of the rub collar and the depth of the rabbet is controlled by the spindle height adjust- ment.
  • Page 23 Rub collar above the cutter: Spindle Nut Workpiece Safety Washer Table When the collar is used above the cutter, as shown in Figure 18, the cut cannot be seen. Yet, this offers some advantage in that the cut is not affected by slight variations in the stock. Also, accidental lifting will not damage the workpiece.

  • Page 24: Pattern Work

    When using a pattern, the rub collar can be positioned either above, below, or in-between cutters. See Figure 20. The pattern is usually used when the entire edge is to be shaped or when many duplicate pieces are needed. Pattern work is particularly useful when rough cutting irregular shapes oversize and then shaping the edge in a simple two-step operation.
  • Page 25 NOTE: Safety devices, as shown here, substantially improve the quality and consistency of your work, as well as ensuring operator safety. Grizzly offers a number of excellent safety devices for use with shapers – such as the Board Buddies™ shown below – which are available as optional equip- ment on the Model G1024 Shaper.

  • Page 26: Irregular Shaping

    Irregular or freehand shaping takes a high degree of skill and dexterity. This is where the real appli- cation of the shaper comes into focus. The fence assembly is not used in irregular shaping, so rub collars must be used. Choose the correct diameter for the appropriate depth of cut. See the rub col- lar section for details.
  • Page 27 Insert a starting pin into the table surface, using the pin location that best supports your work. Inspect your stock or pattern for any irregularities that might transfer to the cut. Use some type of hold-down fixture and guard when doing freehand work. See Figure 24. Make a sample cut on a piece of scrap wood.
  • Page 28 When making a pattern, jig, or fixture, here are a few things to consider: Use a material that will smoothly follow the rub collar or fence. Make the fixture stable. Use proven methods and materials. Fasten hand holds for operator comfort and safety. Secure your workpiece on three sides with toggle clamps or fasten the workpiece to the fixture with wood screws.
