Page 20: Operations
Operations Deep cuts require excessive horsepower and pushing force to control the Overview cut. Before applying power to the machine, Check the motor and switch wiring diagrams for proper Deep cuts can also cause the wood to splinter or voltage connections. Check that all mounting split and may lead to lost control or personal injury. - 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, Figure 19 both the front and rear fences are set in a straight...
- 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 24. 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 Contour Edge Shaping With Collar Bearing To shape a beveled straight edge, use a bevel- To shape contoured edges, the operator must first edge shaping jig in combination with the regular remove the fence assembly. fence as shown in Figure 28. In order to control the workpiece and limit the depth-of-cut, the operator must use an anti-friction collar with the cutter(s) as shown in Figure 30.
- 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 33. 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 38. Note: It is advisable to place the cutter as low as possible on the spindle to reduce spindle deflection Figure 38 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 41. 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 43, keep in mind that it serves only as a guide for the cutter. Figure 43 If the workpiece requires all-around shaping, the template can be constructed from several sections...

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 52 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 Figure 52 perfectly square and straight-edged.
- Page 31 Tenoning The tenoning fixture illustrated in Figure 57 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.
