SHAPER CUTTER INSTALLATION continued...
Unlocking spindle
5. Pull out the spindle lock (A) Fig.12 accessible through the door on the right
side of the cabinet. Rotate 90º right or left, resetting the knob into the
indent. Using gloves to prevent injury from the shaper cutter, turn the
spindle by hand to verify that it turns freely.
Router collet installation
1. Locate the spindle lock (A) Fig.12 accessible through the door on the right
side of the cabinet. Pull out and rotate 90º right or left resetting the knob into
the indent. Turn the arbor (C) by hand until it locks, then verify that it will not
rotate.
2. Place the router collet assembly (A) Fig.14 onto the arbor (B) and secure
with the wrench (E) Fig.12 provided.
3. Unlock the spindle by pulling out the spindle lock (A) Fig.12 accessible
through the door on the right side of the cabinet. Rotate 90º right or left,
resetting the knob into the indent. Turn the router collet (A) Fig.14 by hand
to verify that it turns freely.
ADJUSTMENTS & OPERATION
Handwheel
The handwheel (A) Fig.15 controls the spindle height. Loosen the lock knob (B)
then turn the handwheel (A) clockwise to raise and counterclockwise to lower
the spindle. Once adjustment is made retighten the lock knob (B).
Spindle Gib Adjustment
The spindle housing gib on your machine is factory adjusted and initially should
not require readjustment. After a period of use the gib may wear and become
loose, creating play and potentially causing the spindle to vibrate. This will
require adjustment. To adjust:
1. Using a 12 mm wrench, loosen the four jam nuts (A) Fig.16 that secure the
gib set screws (B).
2. Using a 4 mm hex. key, tighten each set screw (B) 1/8 or less turn starting
with the lowest one, followed by the uppermost one, then the two middle set
screws. If this is not enough to remove the table play, repeat this step until
the play is removed.
Note: If the gibs are too tight the front handwheel (A) Fig.15 that controls
the spindle height will be difficult to turn.
3. When adjustment is complete, hold the set screws (B) in position with the 4
mm hex. key to maintain the setting while tightening the jam nuts (A) with
the 12 mm wrench.
Feather board hold-downs
This Industrial Shaper comes equipped with two feather board hold-downs (A)
Fig.17 which are mounted on the infeed and outfeed fences.
1. Loosen lock handles (B) and lock knobs (C).
2. Slide the hold-downs to the desired position along the fence and tighten lock
handles (B).
3. Place the workpiece (D) on the table against the fence and under the
hold-down (A).
4. Adjust the feather board hold-down to put moderate pressure on the
workpiece, then tighten the lock knobs (C).
