    ASSEMBLY AND SET UP WARNING: For your own safety, DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until the machine is completely assembled and you read and understand the entire instruction manual. Table Extension The shaper has one extension wing that installs on the front of the main table.

  • Page 22: Handwheel Handle Installation

    3. Install the T-bolt portion (C) of the fence lock lever assembly into the T-slot on the fence. 4. Insert the threads of the T-bolt through the fence mounting slot (D) and install and lightly tighten the lock lever (E) to hold the fence in position. 5.

  • Page 23: Spindle / Collet Installation

    Spindle / Collet Installation The shaper is supplied with both 1/2" and 3/4” spindle assemblies. These assemblies are locked in a tapered seat with a draw bar and nut. 1. To change spindles, disconnect the shaper from the power source. 2.

  • Page 24: Attaching Cutters And Collars To Spindles

    Attaching Cutters and Collars to Spindles Each size spindle is supplied with a safety lock nut with left hand threads located above the larger spindle nut. To mount or change cutters, first remove the safety lock nut (A). Remove the spindle nut (B) by placing one wrench on the spindle nut and another wrench on the flats on top of the spindle.

  • Page 25: Setting Table Inserts

    Setting Table Inserts The table inserts are preinstalled at the factory. They should be adjusted so that the top surface of the insert is level with the tabletop. If any adjustment is necessary: 1. Place a straight edge across the inserts and table top to determine if the inserts are level, high, or low as compared to the table top.

  • Page 26: Electrical

    ELECTRICAL CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN! Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate. WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.

  • Page 27: Power Cord Connection

    • Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

  • Page 28: Adjustments

    ADJUSTMENTS Check all mounting screws and bolts to see that they are tight. CAUTION: When changing tools, adjusting the drive belt, or doing cleanup and maintenance, always turn the machine off and unplug the machine from its power source. Fence Positioning & Alignment Fence Positioning The fence adjustment largely involves moving the fence forward or aft to expose more or less of the cutting blade.

  • Page 29: 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 30: 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 ensures 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 31: 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 32: Using Collars

    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 33: Counter Clock 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 34: Straight Edge Shaping

    Straight Edge Shaping Straightedge shaping is always performed with the work piece against the fence. To set up: 1. UNPLUG OR DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER SOURCE AND LOCK OUT POWER. 2. Check to see that the fence faces are parallel, properly in line or offset if necessary, and securely tightened.

  • Page 35: Edge Shaping: Long Boards

    Edge Shaping: Long Boards When edge shaping ling boards, the work piece must be at least 12 inches long. 1. Use the hold-in and hold-down plates as shown in figure to firmly hold the work piece down and against the fence. If work piece is too wide for the hold-ins to be used, clamp a scrap board to the table to substitute for the hold-ins.

  • Page 36: 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. Note: Be sure the bolt holes are countersunk in the special fence. 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 37: Contour Edge Shaping With Collar Bearing

    Contour Edge Shaping with Collar Bearing To shape contoured edges, the operator must first remove the fence assembly. In order to control the workpiece and limit the depth-of-cut, the operator must use an anti-friction collar with the cutter(s). The collar may be positioned above or below the cutter (s), and its function is to ride against the workpiece or template.
  • Page 38 When the workpiece is not contoured all around, start the cut as shown. With this operation, the workpiece is positioned against the start pin and the end swung into place to start the cut. When the cut has begun and the work piece firmly against the collar, swing the stock away from the pin and proceed with cut.

  • Page 39: 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 40: 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, keep in mind that it serves only as a guide for the cutter.

  • Page 41: Horizontal Toggle Clamp

    Horizontal Toggle Clamp The horizontal toggle clamp, similar to those illustrated, is especially useful when ordinary “C” clamps will not allow the freedom of movement often required in shaping. The toggle clamp also allows the operator to firmly control the workpiece without the additional pressure required to keep workpiece and template together by hand.
  • Page 42 This figure shows the first shaping cut with the sash cutter for the matching door stile sash. This is the same cut with the stock flipped. This figure shows the first shaping out for a window-sash stile utilizing a sash cutter, collar, collar, and a 1/2" groove cutter.

  • Page 43: Butt Joints

    Butt Joints All butt type joints require both workpieces to be perfectly square and straight-edged. Glue Butt Joint: To perform a glue butt joint, both fences are kept in-line and adjusted for a depth of cut. The cuts on both workpieces are part-edge cuts which do not reduce the stock width during the cutting procedure.

  • Page 44: Tenoning

    Tenoning The tenoning fixture illustrated, 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 tenons at the ends of legs for tables, chairs, etc.

  • Page 45: 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 46: 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.
