SPEED CHANGES and BELT TENSION This spindle molder is equipped with a special high speed V-belt.

  • Page 24: Fence Positioning & Alignment

    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. 1. Loosen lock lever (A). 2. Adjust the position of the fence by turning the adjustment knob (B).

  • Page 25: Raising And Lowering The Spindle

    Raising and Lowering the Spindle The Spindle can be raised or lowered by turning the handwheel (A). 1. Loosen the spindle height lock knob on the side of the left side of the cabinet. 2. To raise the spindle height, turn the handwheel clockwise.
  • Page 26 4. Place the spindle washer onto the spindle. 5. Install spacers or collars if necessary for the specific application, followed by the nut and locknut. 6. Tighten down the nut and locknut with an open-end wrench while holding the top of the spindle with the spindle wrench provided.

  • Page 27: Operation

    OPERATION WARNING: For the sake of clarity, the shaper guard has been omitted from most illustrations. All shaper operations must be done with the proper guard in place and any other device which insures the safety of the operator. CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, face shield, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from, chips, dust, burrs, and slivers.

  • Page 28: Rotation

    Rotation CAUTION: Always check the direction of cutter rotation before any shaping operation. Cutters rotating backwards will cause unsafe conditions. Your shaper is equipped with a FORWARD/ REVERSE switch (A). In many instances, it will be necessary to flip the cutter over and reverse cutter rotation. Whenever possible, mount the cutter so the board is milled on the bottom side (the side away from the operator).

  • Page 29: Freehand Shaping

    Freehand Shaping Freehand Shaping is shaping without the use of a miter gauge or fence. 1. Beginning the cut is the most dangerous part of freehand shaping. Many times when the workpiece first contacts the cutter, the workpiece will tend to kickback or jerk, which can surprise the operator.

  • Page 30: Counterclock Wise Setup

    Between two Cutters The advantage of this setup is that you can make two profile cuts in a single pass so it is frequently used when both edges of the workpiece are to be shaped. The disadvantage with this method, like the “Below the Cutter”...

  • Page 31: Grain Direction

    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. DANGER: Deep cuts require excessive horsepower and pushing force to control the cut.

  • Page 32: Edge Shaping: Long Boards

    Depth of Cut The depth of cut is the distance from the outside circumference edge of the collar (which the work rides against) to the outside edge of the cutter. The depth of cut is determined by the position of the fence relative to the cutterhead and / or by the use of shaper collars. 1.

  • Page 33: Edge Shaping: Short Boards

    EDGE SHAPING: SHORT BOARDS When edge shaping short boards, 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 14. 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,...

  • Page 34: On-Edge Shaping

    ON-EDGE SHAPING If the shaper fence does not firmly support wide stock, use the existing bolts in the fence to attach a special rigid high fence as shown in Figure 17. Note: Be sure the bolt holes are countersunk in the special fence. 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,...
  • Page 35 The collar may be positioned above or below the cutter (s), and its function is to ride against the workpiece or template. At the same time, the collar will establish the depth-of-cut as shown in Figure 20. Whenever possible, always use the ring guard.
  • Page 36 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.

  • Page 37: Enclosed Edge Shaping

    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.

  • Page 38: Templates

    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.

  • Page 39: Horizontal Toggle Clamp

    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”...

  • Page 40: Sash And Door Shaping

    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.

  • Page 41: Butt Joints

    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.

  • Page 42: Taper Cuts

    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...

  • Page 43: Tenoning

    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 tennons at the ends of legs for tables, chairs, etc.

  • Page 44: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis following proper safety precautions. This shaper requires very little maintenance other than minor lubrication and cleaning. The following sections detail what will need to be done in order to assure continued operation of your shaper.

  • Page 45: Lubrication

    Lubrication The only parts on this machine that require periodic lubrication are the ways where the cartridge slide rides on the elevation housing and where the worm gear and bushing are located. Use a light grease or anti-seizing compound on the ways and worm gear and give the shaft mount a shot of light oil.

  • Page 46: Pulley Alignment

    Pulley Alignment Improper pulley alignment sharply reduces the effectiveness of power transmission and belt life expectancy. 1. Disconnect and lockout power to the shaper! 2. Open the motor cover on the side of the shaper cabinet. 3. Check the alignment with a straightedge. If the pulleys are in alignment, the straightedge should touch two sides of each pulley evenly.

  • Page 47: Truing The Fence

    Truing the Fence To ensure that the fence is parallel with itself and square with the table: 1. Ensure that the bolts through the wood facing on each side are tight and adequately countersunk. 2. To align the wood facing, adjust one or both fence halves so they are in close alignment. Micro-adjust and check the alignment with a straightedge.
