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. Open the rear cabinet door to access to the bottom
of the spindle.
3. Place one wrench on the flats on the top of the
spindle and another wrench on the draw bar nut
underneath the spindle drive sheave.
4. Turn the nut about two turns and tap upward lightly
with a wood block to break the spindle loose from
the taper.
5. Finish removing the nut and lift out the spindle.
6. Select the appropriate spindle for your shaping
operation.
7. Insert the end of the spindle into quill of the shaper.
MAKE CERTAIN to align the tab on the spindle
with the keyway on the quill. When a collet is used,
there is no alignment with the keyway.
8. Insert the draw bar (A) through the bottom of the
quill.
9. Use the multiple wrench to hold the top flats on the
spindle while tightening the draw bar nut using an open-end wrench.
