Partial Edge Removal
When removing part of the workpiece edge, it is
important to properly align the fence faces to supported
the material from the infeed side to the outfeed side of
the table (see Fence Alignment on Page 25).
Also, examine the grain on the side edge of the board.
Whenever possible, run the board so the shaper cutters
are cutting with the grain, as shown in Figure 34. This
will minimize the chance of tear-out.
To set up fence for cutting material from partial edge
of workpiece, do these steps:
1. Loosen lock handle (see Figure 32) on side of fence
mount.
2. Turn adjustment knob and adjust infeed fence until
workpiece contacts cutter at desired location.
3. Tighten lock handle to secure fence position.
4. Adjust outfeed fence so that it comes into alignment
with infeed fence, as shown in Figure 34.
5. Now place straightedge against both faces of
fence to check alignment. Once they are both in
alignment, make sure lock handle is tightened.
Perimeter Cutting
When a workpiece requires all sides to receive a shaped
profile, it is important to begin with the end grain sides
before cutting the long grain side. As a cutter approaches
the edge of end grain, a small amount of tear-out will
commonly occur. By running end grain edges first,
the tear-out is removed when the long grain cuts are
completed.
Completing cuts in multiple passes (when possible) rather
than one heavy cut will often produce cleaner results and
can prolong cutter life.
To cut edge around workpiece perimeter, do these
steps:
1. Cut workpiece (sides 1 & 2) with end grain first (see
Figure 35).
2. Cut sides with grain (sides 3 & 4) last, or in
sequence, as shown in Figure 35.
