  • Page 19 The aluminum table insert is held in place by a cast iron insert ring, which should be adjusted level with the table top (see ). This is necessary to avoid the workpiece catching on the insert or ring during operation, causing an unsafe condition and poor cutting results.
  • Page 20 Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation. The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the safety feature on the emergency STOP button works correctly.
  • Page 21 This machine will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine.
  • Page 22 The cutter height is adjusted with the height handwheel. To gauge the cutter height in relation to the table, use the height scale or a precision ruler with fine graduations. An alternative method would be to place a sample of the shaped cut next to the cutter.

  • Page 24 The spindle speeds for the Model W1827 are 3600, 5100, 8000, and 10,000 RPM. Cutting Edge Moves Much Faster • Use scrap stock similar to your workpiece to find the right spindle speed and feed rate so that the resulting cut is smooth and requires little sanding to finish.
  • Page 25 The Model W1827 comes with three interchangeable spindles—1 ⁄ ", 1", and ⁄ " (see ). The spindles must be inserted correctly and remain stable in order to produce quality work. When installing and changing spindles, make sure the spindle seats snugly and that there is enough drawbar threaded into the bottom of the spindle to safely secure it in place.
  • Page 26 Refer to cutter rotating counterclockwise. the following procedure for detailed instructions. The Model W1827 accommodates cutters that have ⁄ ", 1", and 1 ⁄ " center bores when used with the corresponding spindle.
  • Page 27 • Whenever possible, setup the cutter so that it cuts the workpiece from the underside. This creates a safety barrier between your hands and the cutter. • If the cutter is designed to remove material from the top of the workpiece, we recommend you mount the cutter upside down, then reverse the spindle rotation and feed direction.
  • Page 28 DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER! Nuts Remove the two spindle nuts from the spindle. Spacers Place the required spindle spacers on the spindle to raise the cutter to the proper distance. Cutter Protecting your hands from the sharp edges, slide the cutter onto the spindle, making sure the cutting edges are facing in the right direction for the Tightening the spindle nuts to selected spindle rotation.
  • Page 29 Each hold-down is independently adjustable, and, when properly positioned, they firmly hold the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence, as shown in DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER! Slide a hold-down into each of the cast iron hold- down brackets with the large holes, and secure them with the lock handles.
  • Page 30 The type of cut dictates the position of the fence pieces during operation. There are three basic types of cuts when straight shaping—full face, partial face, and plunge cuts. Full face cutting is similar to a jointer cut where the entire edge of the workpiece is removed.
  • Page 31 Because the shaper fence boards are independently adjustable, you can set up the shaper to cut part or all of the workpiece edge. Loosen the infeed fence bracket lock handle that secures it to the guard body. Turn the fence adjuster handwheel located on the back of the fence bracket and adjust the infeed fence until the workpiece contacts the cutter at the desired location, then re-tighten the lock handles.
  • Page 32 Now place a straightedge against both faces of the fence to check alignment. Once both fence pieces are aligned, tighten the fence bracket lock handles. Set both fence boards as close to the cutter from side-to-side as possible without interfering with the cutter rotation.
  • Page 33 Freehand shaping is shaping without using the fence. A rub collar is used to control the depth of cut and support the workpiece while cutting. A piece of wood is clamped to the table to be used as a "starting block." The block supports the workpiece while you slowly pivot the workpiece into the cutter at the beginning of the cut (see ).
  • Page 34 • Secure your workpiece on the three sides that will not be cut; use toggle clamps or fasten the workpiece to the jig with wood screws. • Make the jig stable and sturdy. Fasten the hand holds so hands will remain at least 6" away from the cutter during the entire operation.

Using a zero-clearance fence is the best way to reduce the risk associated with shaping inherently dangerous small stock. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER!

  • Page 42 Pulley alignment is important to the performance of your shaper. If the pulleys are just slightly out of alignment, the shaper may suffer from power loss and decreased V-belt life. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER! Remove the motor cover from the back of the shaper cabinet to expose the motor and pulleys.
  • Page 43 The spindle cartridge assembly equipped with the Model W1827 features factory-sealed bearings, which require no lubrication during their lifetime. In the rare event that a bearing fails, your shaper will probably develop a noticeable rumble that will increase when the machine is put under load. If allowed to get worse, overheating of the journal containing the bad bearing could occur.
  • Page 44 To reduce the risk of kickbacks and to increase the quality of cuts, it is important that the table and spindle are perpendicular to each other in all directions. Use a machinist's square or other precision square when checking/adjusting these components to ensure accurate results (see DISCONNECT SHAPER POWER! Remove the guard and fence assembly.
