4.
Cut out an outline of the spindle, cutter, and
its components on the board, leaving room
for the moving parts so they will not hit the
board.
5.
Secure the new zero-clearance fence to the
fence support brackets and run a test piece
by the cutter to verify the results.

Rub Collars

Rub collars are used when shaping curved or
irregular workpieces, such as arched doors or
round table tops, and to limit the depth of your
cut.
There are two types of rub collars—solid and
ball-bearing. We recommend using ball bearing
collars and Grizzly carries an extensive line that
is designed for use with Grizzly shapers. See our
current catalog or website for listings.
Rub collars may be used in any of the follow-
ing positions:
1. Rub collar below the cutter: When the rub
collar is placed below the cutter (see Figure
36), the progress of the cut can be observed.
However, any unintentional movement may
lift the workpiece into the cutter, damaging
your work and increasing risk of injury to the
operator. We DO NOT recommend using the
rub collar below the cutter.

2. Rub collar above the cutter: When the rub
collar is used above the cutter, the cut cannot
be seen (see Figure 37). This offers some
advantage—the stock is not affected by slight
variations in thickness and accidental lifting
will not damage the workpiece. Simply cor-
rect any variation in height by repeating the
operation.
