Straight Shaping
When shaping straight stock, use the fence
assembly. Refer to Fence Adjustments on Page
20 for information on aligning fences.
To shape a piece of straight stock:
1.
Select the appropriate cutter and lock it onto
the spindle.
2.
Check the cutter rotation.
3.
Adjust the spindle height to align the
workpiece to the cutter. Refer to Spindle
Height on Page 19 for details.
4.
Lock the spindle height into position.
5.
Position the fences for your desired depth of
cut.
6.
Use a hold-down, or other safety device (see
Figures 21 & 22), and put on your safety
glasses and dust mask/respirator.

7.
Make a sample cut on a scrap piece of wood
to check your adjustments.
8.
If everything is correct, run your stock through
the shaper using your left hand to support
the workpiece against the fence and your
right hand to feed (if the rotation is counter-
clockwise) as shown in Figure 23. Switch
hands for clockwise rotation. Note: Only use
the miter gauge to shape the ends of your
workpiece.
