  • Page 8: Unpacking

    Unpacking Remove box and wood crating completely from around shaper. Check for shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any shipping material until the Shaper is assembled and running properly. Compare the contents of your container with the parts lists on this page to make sure all parts are intact.

  • Page 9: Assembly

    Cleaning Exposed metal surfaces, such as the table top and extension wings, have been given a protective coating at the factory. This should be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene. Do not use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this purpose.

  • Page 10: Extension Cords

    This machine must be grounded. Grounding provides a path of least resistance to help divert current away from the operator in case of electrical malfunction. Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the machine.

  • Page 19: Operating Controls

    Operating Controls Start/Stop Power Indicator Light – The start switch has a power indicator lamp which is on whenever there is power connected to the shaper, not just when the shaper is running. Do not assume that no light means there is no power to the machine.

  • Page 20: Operations

    Operations Overview Before applying power to the machine, Check the motor and switch wiring diagrams for proper voltage connections. Check that all mounting screws and bolts are tight. Turn on the motor momentarily to check for proper rotation. The spindle should rotate counterclock- wise when looking down on the spindle.
  • Page 21 Using the Fence Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory method of shaping, and should always be used when the work permits. Almost all straight work can be used with the fence. For average work, where a portion of the original edge of the work is not to be touched by the cutter, both the front and rear fences are set in a straight line as shown in Figure 25.
  • Page 22 "Z" Dimension Before making a template (or using the edge of the workpiece) for shaper cutting, the "Z" dimension must be established in order to determine the shape and size of the finished stock. The "Z" dimension is the difference between the innermost part of the cutter edge and the outside diameter of the ball bearing follower (collar).
  • Page 23 Edge Shaping When edge shaping, never attempt to hand guide any stock less than 12 inches long, or narrower than 3 inches without the use of a special guide as shown in Figure 30. When edge shaping, the work- piece must be at least 12 inches long unless a special guide is used.
  • Page 24 Straight Line Bevel Shaping To shape a beveled straight edge, use a bevel- edge shaping jig in combination with the regular fence as shown in Figure 34. Figure 34 To perform a bevel-edge cut, the in-feed edge of the jig is placed against the infeed fence and clamped to the table as shown in Figure 35.
  • Page 25 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 39. Continue to feed the work so that the point of contact on the edge is always 90 degrees to the collar (or directly in line with the cutter edge) and held firmly against When the workpiece is not contoured all around,...
  • Page 26 3. Using the collar between the two cutters has the advantages and disadvantages of the first two procedures, and is frequently used where both edges of the work are to be molded, Figure 44. Note: It is advisable to place the cutter as low as possible on the spindle to reduce spindle deflection and ensure the best possible finish.
  • Page 27 Arcs and Circles Large circular and arc-shaped stock can be shaped as described in Contour Edge Shaping on page 24. However, smaller sized stock requires the use of special shaping jigs similar to those shown in Figure 47. With the entire fence assembly removed, carefully position the jig for desired depth-of-cut and securely clamp to the table.
  • Page 28 Templates The template must be thick enough to provide a solid bearing edge against a collar. When constructing a template similar to the one shown in Figure 49, keep in mind that it serves only as a guide for the cutter. If the workpiece requires all-around shaping, the template can be constructed from several sections pieced together as shown in Figure 50.

  • Page 29: Special Cuts

    Special Cuts The illustrations in this section show the profile, or section, views made by the cutter(s). The most efficient cutters are carbide tipped to ensure clean and long-term cutting. Small cutters may be solid carbide, and some use inserts. Since there are such a wide variety of choices, the operator is limited only by his experience and imagination.
  • Page 30 Figure 58 shows BOTH cuts required for a window sash rail end. The first operation at top is a rabbet cut made with a groove cutter. The second operation is performed with a stub spindle and buttonhead screw. Butt Joints All butt-type joints require both work-pieces to be perfectly square and straight-edged.
  • Page 31 Tenoning The tenoning fixture illustrated in Figure 63 shows a miter gauge equipped with a hold-down for shaping the ends of narrow work-pieces. The miter gauge can also be adapted to cut square and centered tenons at the ends of legs for tables, chairs, etc.
