3. Insert the draw bar (A) through the bottom of the quill, making sure that the beveled edge of the drawbar nut (B) is facing upwards. (Fig. 10) Fig. 10 4. Use the spindle wrench to hold the top flats on the spindle while tightening the draw bar nut using an open end wrench.
Setting Table Inserts The table inserts are preinstalled at the factory. They should be adjusted so that the top surface of the insert is level with the tabletop. If any adjustment is necessary: 1. Remove the three screws in the top of the insert. 2.
6. Replace spindle nuts (A) and tighten using the spindle wrenches. The spindle structure is as shown in Fig. 13-1, the cutter is locked with a cap screw M10 x 30. Fig. 13-1 Assembling Fence 1. Install the fence by placing the main fence casting (A) on the table surface.
4. Repeat steps 3 to attach the remaining fence half. 5. Attach Guard Mounting Bracket (F) to the red top Cover with knob (G, Fig. 16). 6. There are several types of guards that should be attached to the shaper fence depending on the operation that you are performing.
ELECTRICAL CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN! Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate. WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
ADJUSTMENTS Check all mounting screws and bolts to see that they are tight. CAUTION: When changing tools, adjusting the drive belt, or doing cleanup and maintenance, always turn the machine off and unplug the machine from its power source. Changing Speeds This shaper is constructed with a 3 step pulley on both the motor pulley (A) and on the spindle pulley (B).
Fence Positioning & Alignment Fence Positioning The two faces of the fence are independent of one another and can be set at different positions to allow for different shaping tasks. To adjust 1. Loosen lock lever (A, Fig. 20). 2. Adjust the position of the fence by turning the adjustment knob (B) 3.
Belt Tension The belt tension is set at the factory and should not need adjustment on initial setup. The belt will need occasional adjustment as the belt will stretch over time. The belt should yield 1/4” of deflection when squeezed together at the midpoint. 1.
BEFORE OPERATING Turn the motor on momentarily to check for proper rotation. The spindle should rotate counterclockwise when looking down on the spindle. Correct as required. Run the machine for a short period of time to insure that the moving parts are working properly with no excessive vibration.
Switch Operation Do not turn the shaper on until all assembly and adjustment instructions have been completed. NEVER start the shaper with material on the table! 1. To start the shaper, press the green start button (A). 2. To stop the shaper, press the red emergency stop button (B). 3.
Using Collars When shaping workpieces that have irregular shapes, it is essential to use a collar. There are three basic types setup for the collar. Each setup has advantages and disadvantages. Below the Cutter The advantage of the collar being positioned below the cutter is that the user can see the progress of the cut.
Counterclock Wise Setup With the cutter installed as shown, feed the workpiece from right-to-left. Clock Wise Setup With the cutter installed as shown, feed the workpiece from left-to-right. GRAIN DIRECTION Plan to shape the work piece in the same direction as the grain when possible. Some open grain woods (such as redwood, fir, and oak) will leave a rough, or slightly splintered edge when cut against the grain.
STRAIGHT EDGE SHAPING Straightedge shaping is always performed with the work piece against the fence. To set up: 1. UNPLUG OR DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER SOURCE AND LOCK OUT POWER. 2. Check to see that the fence faces are parallel, properly in line or offset if necessary, and securely tightened.
EDGE SHAPING: LONG BOARDS When edge shaping long boards, the work piece must be at least 12 inches long. 1. Use the hold-ins and hold-downs as shown in figure 13 to firmly hold the work piece down and against the fence. If work piece is too wide for the hold-ins to be used, clamp a scrap board to the table to substitute for the hold-ins.
END SHAPING WARNING: End shaping a narrow workpiece without a special guide could result in the workpiece rocking into the cutterhead causing minor, or major, personal injury. When end shaping narrow stock, it is important that at least one half of the workpiece end be in contact with either the infeed or outfeed fence as shown in Figure 15.
STRAIGHTLINE BEVEL EDGE SHAPING To perform a bevel edge cut, the infeed edge of the jig is placed against the infeed fence and clamped to the table, as shown in Figure 18. The outfeed fence is moved forward as necessary to compensate for the cut.
Page 41
Note: Since the collar requires at least 1/8" of surface edge to ride against, the entire edge cannot be shaped as shown in Figure 21. The use of a pattern, however, permits the shaping of the entire contour edge. If the workpiece is to be shaped all around the perimeter, hold it firmly and push the work straight into the cutter until the depth of cut is established by the collar as shown in Figure 22.
Page 42
Large circular and arc-shaped stock can be shaped as described under “CONTOUR EDGE SHAPING”; however, small sized stock requires the use of special shaping jigs similar to those shown in Figure 24 and 25. With the entire fence assembly removed, carefully position the jig for desired depth of cut and securely clamp to the table.
ENCLOSED EDGE SHAPING WARNING: Enclosed edge shaping is extremely dangerous. The operator must be aware at all times of the direction of feed. WARNING: Unless the workpiece is attached to a larger wooden base, NEVER perform enclosed edge shaping if there is less than 12” of workpiece material all around the opening.
TEMPLATES The template, which is usually made of 3/4” scrap material, must be thick enough to provide a solid bearing edge against a collar. When constructing a template similar to the one shown in Figure 28, keep in mind that it serves only as a guide for the cutter.
In many situations the workpiece is positioned against the template using dowels as anchor points and handles (wood blocks) to assist the operator in guiding the workpiece through the cut as shown in Figure 31. HORIZONTAL TOGGLE CLAMP The horizontal toggle clamp, similar to those illustrated in Figure 32, is especially useful when ordinary “C”...
SASH AND DOOR SHAPING Shaping a door still requires two operations. Figure 33 shows the sash cut for the first operation. Figure 34 shows the stock flipped over and the sash cutter used with a 1/4" groove cutter to complete the cut. Figure 35 shows the first shaping cut with the sash cutter for the matching door stile sash.
Figure 37 shows the first shaping out for a window-sash stile utilizing a sash cutter, collar, collar, and a 1/2" groove cutter. Figure 38 shows both cuts required for a window-sash rail end. The first operation at top is a rabbet cut made with a groove cutter.
TAPER CUTS Offsetting the Fences CAUTION: Do not use the standard fence for short work (12 inches or less in length on the side to be cut). Instead, use a miter gauge or special fixture to avoid losing control of the workpiece. Taper cuts can be made by offsetting the fences for the amount of taper desired, or with a layout line on the stock which can be made parallel to the infeed fence as shown in...
TENONING The tenoning fixture illustrated in Figure 43 shows a miter gauge equipped with a hold-down for shaping the ends of narrow workpieces. The miter gauge can also be adapted to cut square and centered tenons at the ends of legs for tables, chairs, etc.
