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.
Whenever possible, use a guide pin when performing
pattern shaping and collar shaping operations.
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.
It is important with the arc and circle shapes that the workpiece, prior to being shaped, must be
roughly cut to the desired size and curve of the finished piece. Make sure the jig curve of the
exactly the workpiece curve. At all times keep the cutter is cutting the stock.
Never perform this type operation without a ring guard or similar safety device over the
cutterhead.
