WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Wood working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As
with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using
the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator
may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, feather boards, goggles, dust
masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t
make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and
exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it.
REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.

1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE
MACHINE. Learn the machine’s application and limitations as well as the specific hazards.

2. Only trained and qualified personnel can operate this machine.

3. Safety Guards. DO NOT remove the retractable guard on the fence. Use a guard or other

type of protective device at all times. Use an overhead guard when the fence is removed.

4. Respirator Use. Always use a mask or respirator approved for wood dust when using this

machine to reduce the risk of respiratory problems.

5. Remove any adjusting tools. Before operating the machine, make sure any adjusting tools

have been removed.

6. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

7. Feeding the Piece Part. ALWAYS feed the piece part against the rotation of the cutter.

NEVER force materials through the shaper. Excessive force against the shaper cutter will
cause dangerous kickback conditions and can result in poor cuts.

8. Hand Positioning. NEVER place hands directly over or in front of the shaper cutter.

ALWAYS keep hand at least 6” (150mm) away from the shaper cutter while operating.

9. Overloading machine. By overloading the machine you may cause injury from flying parts.

DO NOT exceed the specified machine capacities.

10. Dress appropriate. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in

moving machine parts. Protective clothing and steel toe shoes are recommended when
using machinery. Wear a restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

8

8

11. Stock Condition. ALWAYS inspect stock for staples, nails, knots, and other imperfections

that could become projectiles or cause kickback resulting in serious bodily harm. Warped
stock should be run through a jointer before you run it through the shaper.

12. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ISO approved impact safety goggles

13. Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. DO NOT reach over or

across a running machine.

14. Blind Cut When Possible. Blind cuts keep the shaper cutter on the underside of the piece

part and provide a distance guard for the operator.

15. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. DO NOT operate any tool or

machine when you are tired.

16. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool or machine, carefully check any part that

appears damaged. Check for binding of moving parts that may affect proper machine
operation.

17. Sanding Direction. NEVER sand pointed or tapered stock with the point facing the feed

direction, which could cause the piece part to be thrown from the machine.

18. Observe work area conditions. DO NOT use machines or power tools in damp or wet

locations. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. DO NOT use electrically
powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.

19. Depth of Cut. NEVER remove too much material in one pass. Several light passes are safer

and produce a better finish on the piece part.

20. Securing Nuts and Knobs. NEVER operate the shaper without the second locking nut in

place over the spindle nut. ALWAYS make sure that the shaper cutters, fence, and spindle
elevator knob have been properly tightened before running the machine.

21. DO NOT bypass or defeat any safety interlock systems.

22. Know the location of the ON - OFF switch and the “E”- STOP button.

23. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.

24. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. DO NOT let them

handle machines, tools, or extension cords.

25. DO NOT operate machine if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning

labels on prescriptions. If there is any doubt, DO NOT operate the machine.

26. DO NOT touch live electrical components or parts. Inspect power and control cables

periodically. Replace if damaged or bare wires are exposed. Bare wiring can kill!

27. Be Sure all equipment is properly installed and grounded according to national, state, and

local codes. If machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a
three-hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong
receptacle, the adapter plug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the third
prong.

9

9

28. Maintain machine in top condition. Keep clean for best and safest performance. Follow

instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

29. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before

plugging in power cord.

30. Never leave machine running unattended. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave machine until

it comes to a complete stop.

31. DO NOT Perform Any Operation Freehand. Use the fence for straight shaping, the miter

gauge for end shaping, and a starting pin and collar for curve shaping.

32. Push Blocks. Push blocks or push sticks should be used in situations where it is necessary

to push the piece part against the fence.

33. AVOID awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand

to move into the spinning cutter causing serious personal injury.

34. Cutter Height. Keep any unused portion of the shaper cutter below the surface of the table.

35. Sand Appropriate Material. Only use this spindle shaper sander for natural wood stock. It is

NOT recommended to sand particle board, plastics, laminates, medium-density fiber board
(MDF), metal, glass, ceramics, or products containing asbestos or lead paint. Some of these
materials contain hazardous dust and will shorten the life span of the sanding spindle.

36. Warning: The dust generated by certain woods and wood products can be injurious to your

health. Always operate machinery in well-ventilated areas and provide for proper dust
removal. Use a wood dust collection system whenever possible.

SAFETY: SPECIFIC RULES

READ THE MANUAL. Know the limitations and hazards in using the shaper. One SAFETY rule
decal and one DANGER decal are placed on each machine as reminders of good safety
practice.

SHORT STOCK. Never shape stock less than 12 inches in length without special fixtures.
Where practical, shape longer stock and cut to size.

12 INCH RULE. When shaping, never allow your hands to come closer than 12 inches to the
cutters.

HAND SAFETY. Never pass the hands directly over, or in front
of, the cutters. As one hand approaches the 12 inch radius
point, remove it (or the push stick) in an arc motion and
reposition hands 12 inches beyond the cutters (Figure 1).

10

10

BLIND CUT. When blind cutting, the workpiece is positioned on top of the template. This keeps
the cutter(s) cutting only the underside of the workpiece and providing a “distance” guard for the
operator.

STOCK FEED. Stock opposite to the direction of the
cutter rotation. Never back stock out of the cutter once
the cut has been started. Instead, pull the stock straight
back away from cutter and begin the cut again (Figure 2).

CUTTER CLEARANCE. With the power disconnected,
always revolve the spindle by hand with any new setup to
insure proper clearance with the cutters. At the same
time, check to be sure the cutter head is turning in the
correct direction.

TOOL MAINTENANCE. Clean and sharp tools give safer
and better performance. Dull tools can cause kickbacks and excessive chatter. Before making a
cut, always check the condition and adjustment of the tools.
Never use a tool that is not balanced and rated for the selected
RPM.

SAFETY LOCK NUT. Never operate the shaper without the
safety locking nut and spacer located on top of the spindle nut
(Figure 3). The lock nut has left hand threads. This left hand
lock nut prevents the spindle nut from coming loose when the
spindle is run in a counterclockwise direction.

SPINDLE SPEED. Do not operate tools at speeds higher than
rated by the manufacturer.

CUTTER SELECTION. Use only those cutters designed to be used on the machine, and mount
only safety type cutters on the spindle.

STOCK CONDITION. The danger of kicked back stock can occur when the stock has knots,
holes, or foreign objects such as nails. Warped or in – wind stock should first be jointed on one
surface before attempting to use it on the shaper.

JOB COMPLETION. The operator should never leave the work station for any reason without
turning off the shaper and waiting for the spindle to come to a complete stop. When the
operation is complete, the operator should clean up the shaper and work area. Never clean the
shaper with the power “ON” and never use the hands to clear sawdust and debris – use a brush.

11

11

DO NOT REACH over shaper. There is danger of
kickback which can pull the hand back into the cutter.
Use push sticks to assist in pushing the work through.
See Figure 4.
A push block and/or a push stick must be used if the

workpieces is less than 5” (127mm) to prevent your

hands from getting too close to the saw blade. Push
block must be used to cut narrow workpieces and,
when necessary, to push the workpiece against the
fence, a push block can be easily made by the
operator.

GAS

Cleaning

Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy coating and/or grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. Fully and completely remove this protective coating using a
degreaser or solvent cleaner. Moving items will need to be moved along their travel path to
allow for cleaning the entire surface. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally
have to be removed. DO NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted
surfaces.
Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning,
wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.

Important: This waxy coating is NOT a lubricant and will cause the machine to

stick and lose performance as the coating continues to dry.

15

15

TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING

IMPORTANT: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers,

such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the
lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.

Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley:

 The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 – 2 times

the machines gross weight.

 Make sure the machine is balanced. While

transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and maintain
a safe clearance zone around the transport area.

 Use a fork lift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks

that are long enough to reach the complete width of
the machine.

 Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to

the pallet.

 Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there

are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.

 Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
 Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no

rocking is taking place.

Follow these guidelines when lifting crane or hoist:

 Always lift and carry the machine with the lifting holes provided at the top of the machine.
 Use lift equipment such as straps, chains, capable of lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the

machine.

 Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
 Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an inch or two.
 Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or quick changes of direction.
 Locate the machine where it is to be installed, and lower slowly until it touches the floor.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:

Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:

 Overall weight of the machine.
 Weight of material being processed.
 Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
 Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
 Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
 Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
 Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
 Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
 Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from

obstructing objects.

 It is important to maintain free area around the machine, which is required for the working

place. If any long material is machined, it is necessary to have a sufficient room in front of
the machine as well behind it in the places of material input and output.

 LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it

should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on
the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.

 FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that

the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.

 WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be

processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.

 POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the

machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.

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.

WARNING: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is

properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.

ELECTRICAL

Motor Specifications

Your tool is wired for 220 volt, 60Hz alternating current. Before connecting the tool to the power
source, make sure the machine is cut off from power source.

Considerations

 Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
 The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with a amperage

rating slightly higher than the full load current of machine.

 A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. Before connecting the motor to the

power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current
is of the same characteristics as indicated on the tool.

 All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the

motor.

 In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for

electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.

 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.

 Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not

completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

 Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

Extension Cord Safety

Extension cord should be in good condition and meet the minimum wire gauge requirements
listed below:

An undersized cord decreases line voltage, causing loss of power and overheating. All cords
should use a ground wire and plug pin. Replace any damaged cords immediately.

Power cord connection:

1. Turn the main disconnect switch on the control panel to the OFF position.

2. Unwrap the power cord and route the cord away from the machine toward the power supply.

a. Route the power cord so that it will NOT become entangled in the machine in any

way.

b. Route the cord to the power supply is a way that does NOT create a trip hazard.

3. Connect the power cord to the power supply and check that the power cord has not been

damaged during installation.

4. When the machine is clear of any obstruction. The main power switch may be turn ON to test

the operation. Turn the switch OFF when the machine is not in operation.

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.

ADJUSTMENTS

Check all mounting screws and bolts to see that they are tight.

Changing Speeds

This shaper is constructed with a 3 step pulley on
both the motor pulley (A) and on the spindle pulley
(B).

1. The belt can be moved from one step on the

pulley to the other by simply walking the belt.

Raising and Lowering the Spindle

The Spindle can be raised or lowered by loosening the stabilizer knob (A) and turning the
handwheel (B).

1. To raise the spindle height, turn the handwheel

clockwise.

2. To lower the spindle height, turn the

handwheel counterclockwise.

3. The adjustable scale (C) on the front of the

shaper shows the height of the spindle and can
be positioned to set your zero mark at multiple
locations.

Fig. 18

4. Once the spindle is in the desired location you

can stabilize the position by turning the knob
(A) located on the side of the machine. (Fig.

19).

Fig. 19

Fence Positioning & Alignment

Fence Positioning

The two faces of the fence are independent of one
another and can be set at different positions to allow
for different shaping tasks. To adjust

1. Loosen lock lever (A, Fig. 20).

2. Adjust the position of the fence by turning the

adjustment knob (B)

3. When the fence is in the desired position,

retighten the lock lever.

4. Repeat this process for the other side of the

fence, if necessary.

Fig. 20

Note: There are two sets of holes on the table top for attaching the fence. The
most common set-up positions the fence so that it runs parallel to the miter slot. The fence can,
however, be rotated 90° from the position by using the second set of holes in the table top.

Fence Alignment

Before using the shaper, it is important to make sure that the two fence faces are parallel. Use
the following steps to ensure the parallelism of the two fence halves.

1. Use a straight edge that is long enough to span the length of the entire fence and position it

up against both fence halves (C, Fig. 21).

Note: Before placing the straight
edge up against the fence. Make certain that the
fence lock knobs are securely tightened.

1. Adjust the fence faces so that they are as close

as possible to the same parallel position.

2. If the fence faces are not parallel, place shims

between the back of fence piece and the face
fence mount, with some trial and error shim
adjusting, parallel fence faces can be achieved.

Fig. 21

29

29

Belt Tension

The belt tension is set at the factory and should
not need adjustment on initial setup. The belt will
need occasional adjustment as the belt will stretch
over time. The belt should yield 1/4” of deflection
when squeezed together at the midpoint.

1. Loosen the two hex head bolts (A, Fig. 22).

2. Slide the motor and bracket assembly (B)

away from the spindle cartridge (C) until the
slack is removed from the belt.

3. Retighten the two hex bolts loosened in step 1.

Fig. 22

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 insures 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.

BEFORE OPERATING

Turn the motor on momentarily to check for proper rotation. The spindle should rotate
counterclockwise when looking down on the spindle. Correct as required. Run the machine for a
short period of time to insure that the moving parts are working properly with no excessive
vibration. If a problem develops, correct before turning the shaper on for general use.

OPERATION

PROTECTION. Take every precaution to protect yourself, others around you, and the machine

itself from improper use.
CARELESS ACTS. Give the work you are doing your undivided attention. Looking around,

talking to someone, and horseplay are careless acts that can result in serious injury.
This section gives instructions on the basic operations of this shaper. It is in no way

comprehensive of every shaper or application. It is strongly recommended that you read books,
trade magazines, or get formal training to maximize the potential of your shaper and to minimize
the risks of injury, or damage to equipment or work stock.

31

31

Switch Operation

Do not turn the shaper on until all assembly and adjustment instructions have been completed.
NEVER start the shaper with material on the table!

1. To start the shaper, press the green start button (A).

2. To stop the shaper, press the red emergency stop button (B).

3. To select the direction of spindle rotation, use selector switch (C).

Fig. 23

Using the Fence

1. If performing a cut where a portion of the workpiece is not touched by the cutterhead, both

sides of the fence will be set at the same depth.

2. When performing a cut where the entire edge of the workpiece is removed, the fence must

be positioned differently. If the fence halves are kept in line, once the workpiece passes
through the cutterhead, the shaped edge would no longer be supported against the fence.
To prevent this, the outfeed side of the fence must be positioned further out to compensate
for the material being removed. Advance the outfeed side of the fence until it contacts the
shaped edge of the workpiece.

3. If using a miter gauge, the infeed side of the fence MUST be parallel with the miter slot. Also

make certain that the outfeed side of the fence is positioned out of the way so that it does not
contact the workpiece after it passes through the cutterhead.

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.

To help reduce the frequency of these incidents and increase the safety aspect of freehand
shaping, a starting pin is provided with your shaper. This pin will allow you to anchor and
slowly pivot the workpiece into the cutter at the beginning of the cut. When freehand
shaping, it is always best to use a template jig.

32

32

Using Collars

When shaping workpieces that have irregular shapes, it is essential to use a collar. There are
three basic types setup for the collar. Each setup has advantages and disadvantages.

Below the Cutter

The advantage of the collar being positioned below the
cutter is that the user can see the progress of the cut.
While this method provides a good view of the cut being
made, the disadvantage is that any lifting of the
workpiece, even slightly, will cause the cutter to gouge
the wood and ruin the workpiece. (Fig. 24)

Fig. 24

Above the Cutter

This type of setup is the safest of the three and produces the most consistent results.
Two advantages of this setup are:

2. The cut will not be affected by slight variations in the

thickness of the workpiece

3. The workpiece will not be gouged if you accidentally

lift it off the table. If the workpiece lifts off the table,
simply run it though the cutter again to produce a
finished cut

The only disadvantage of this type of setup is that the
user will not be able to see the cut being made as it will
be on the underside of the workpiece. (Fig. 25)

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” method, is that any accidental lifting of the

workpiece will cause gouging and ruin the workpiece.
(Fig. 26)

Fig. 25

Fig. 26

33

33

DANGER:

Deep cuts require excessive horsepower and pushing force to control the cut. Deep
cuts can also cause the wood to splinter or split and may lead to lost control or
personal injury.
Pre-cut the stock on the band saw whenever possible to 1/16" of finished size. When
an edge finish is unsatisfactory take two or more cuts with the final cut no more than
1/16" deep.
In the case of shaping across the grain, the trailing board edge will often splinter. To
correct this, the best solution is to make the board 1/4" oversize in width, shape the
board, and simply trim off the excess material.

Counterclock Wise Setup

With the cutter installed as shown, feed the workpiece
from right-to-left.

Clock Wise Setup

With the cutter installed as shown, feed the workpiece
from left-to-right.

GRAIN DIRECTION

Plan to shape the work piece in the same direction as the grain when possible. Some open
grain woods (such as redwood, fir, and oak) will leave a rough, or slightly splintered edge when
cut against the grain.

34

34

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.

3. Rotate the cutters and inspect for clearance.

4. Position the leading face of a cutterhead blade at 90

degrees to the in feed fence face.

5. Position the workpiece against the in feed fence and

adjust the spindle to the desired height of the cut. At
the same time, check the desired depth of cut with
the blade in the 90 degree position as shown in
figure 12.

Depth of Cut

The depth of cut is the distance from the outside circumference edge of the collar (which the
work rides against) to the outside edge of the cutter. The depth of cut is determined by the
position of the fence relative to the cutterhead and / or by the use of shaper collars.

1. Lock the spindle.

2. Install the right guard wherever possible.

3. Reconnect power to the machine.

4. Take a trial cut on a piece of scrap of the same thickness as work piece.

Note: Only a short cut is necessary to determine if the profile, depth, and height of
cut is correct.

5. Make adjustments as required and continue to shape using the work piece.

35

35

EDGE SHAPING: LONG BOARDS

When edge shaping long boards, the work piece must be at least 12 inches long.

1. Use the hold-ins and hold-downs as shown in

figure 13 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.

2. Check the rotation of the cutter. Be sure to feed

workpiece against rotation of the cutter.

3. Feed the workpiece slowly and steadily with firm,

even pressure to make a smooth cut.

Note: The rate of feed depends on depth of cut and experience of operator.

EDGE SHAPING: SHORT BOARDS

When edge shaping short boards, never attempt to hand
guide any stock less than 12 inches long, or narrower than
3 inches without the use of a special guide as shown in
Figure 14.

36

36

WARNING: End shaping a narrow workpiece without a special guide

could result in the workpiece rocking into the cutterhead causing minor, or major,
personal injury.

END SHAPING

When end shaping narrow stock, it is important
that at least one half of the workpiece end be in
contact with either the infeed or outfeed fence as
shown in Figure 15.

Use a guide similar to the one shown in Figure 15
which tightly clamps the scrap piece to the
workpiece and provides the necessary width.

SHAPING ALL SIDES

Because cross grain shaping is more likely to create
chipping out end splinters on some woods, it is good
practice to first shape the cross-grain sides. Any chipping
that does occur is taken care of by the with-grain cuts, as
shown in Figure 16.

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 as shown in Figure 17.

Note: Be sure the bolt holes are
countersunk in the special fence.

37

37

STRAIGHTLINE BEVEL EDGE SHAPING

To perform a bevel edge cut, the infeed edge of the jig is
placed against the infeed fence and clamped to the table,
as shown in Figure 18.
The outfeed fence is moved forward as necessary to
compensate for the cut.

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) as shown in Figure 19.

The collar may be positioned above or below the cutter (s),
and its function is to ride against the workpiece or template.
At the same time, the collar will establish the depth-of-cut as
shown in Figure 20. Whenever possible, always use the ring
guard.

38

38

Note: Since the collar requires at least 1/8" of
surface edge to ride against, the entire edge cannot be
shaped as shown in Figure 21. The use of a pattern,
however, permits the shaping of the entire contour edge.

If the workpiece is to be shaped all around the
perimeter, hold it firmly and push the work straight
into the cutter until the depth of cut is established by
the collar as shown in Figure 22. Continue to feed the
work so that the point of contact on the edge is
always 90 degrees to the collar (or directly in line with
the cutter edge) and geld firmly against it.

When the workpiece is not contoured all around, start the
cut as shown in Figure 23. 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.

39

39

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.

40

40

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.

ENCLOSED EDGE SHAPING

NEVER perform enclosed edge shaping if the workpiece opening is smaller, in any
direction, than twice the diameter of the cutter(s).

Whenever possible, use a guide pin when performing pattern shaping and collar shaping
operations.

NEVER perform this type operation without a ring guard or similar safety device over the
cutterhead.

An enclosed workpiece edge is shaped in the same
manner as an outside contoured edge except that a guide
post is not required as shown in Figure 26.

Note: If the whole edge is to be shaped, the
operator MUST use a pattern.

1. Position workpiece on the table BEFORE starting the

motor. The operator must do the entire shaping cut by
PUSHING (feeding) the workpiece into the cutter (s).

2. With a firm grip, ease the edge into the cutter(s) until

stopped by the collar shown in Figure 27.

3. Continue to push straight in while feeding and turning

the workpiece at the same time until the cut is
finished.

4. Turn off the motor and do NOT remove workpiece

until the cutters have completely stopped.

41

41

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 in Figure 28, keep in mind that it serves only as
a guide for the cutter.

PIECED TEMPLATE

If the workpiece requires all-around shaping, the template
can be constructed from several sections pieced together
as shown in Figure 29.

SECURING THE TEMPLATE

There are various methods used to secure the template to
the workpiece. The experienced operator will choose the
most appropriate according to the shape, size, and type
construction of the template.
For example, if the workpiece is large enough to extend
beyond the front of the table and still leave room for the
desired cut, it can be securely held to the template with “C”
clamps as shown in Figure 30.

42

42

In many situations the workpiece is positioned against the
template using dowels as anchor points and handles
(wood blocks) to assist the operator in guiding the
workpiece through the cut as shown in Figure 31.

HORIZONTAL TOGGLE CLAMP

The horizontal toggle clamp, similar to those illustrated in

Figure 32, 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. Anchor points,
such as dowels, are required with this type setup.

SPECIAL CUTS

The illustrations in this section shown the profile, or section, views made by the cutter(s). The
most efficient cutters are carbide tipped to ensure clean and long-term cutting. Small cutters
may be solid carbide, and some use inserts. Since there are such a wide variety of choices, the
operator is limited only by his experience and imagination.

STACKED CUTTERS

In addition, a variety of interesting and timesaving cuts can be
made in a single setup by stacking the cutters as shown in
Figure 33. When the operator stacks the cutters, extra care
should be taken to see that all parts are clean, free of nicks
and flaws, and perfectly balanced in the stacked position.

43

43

SASH AND DOOR SHAPING

Shaping a door still requires two operations. Figure 33 shows
the sash cut for the first operation.

Figure 34 shows the stock flipped over and the sash cutter
used with a 1/4" groove cutter to complete the cut.

Figure 35 shows the first shaping cut with the sash cutter
for the matching door stile sash.

Figure 36 shows the same cut with the stock flipped.

Figure 37 shows the first shaping out for a window-sash
stile utilizing a sash cutter, collar, collar, and a 1/2" groove
cutter.

Figure 38 shows both cuts required for a window-sash rail
end. The first operation at top is a rabbet cut made with a
groove cutter. The second operation is performed with a
stub spindle and butt head screw.

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 as shown in
Figure 39.
The cuts on both workpieces are part-edge cuts which do
not reduce the stock width during the cutting procedure.
When shaping the two workpieces, one is fed top-side up;
the other is fed bottom-side up.

Tongued Joint: Similar to the glue joint, both fences are kept
in-line for the tongued joint and adjusted for a 1/4" depth of
cut with no reduction in stock width. With this joint, however,
both workpieces are fed with the same side up as shown in
Figure 40.

As shown in Figure 41, the leaf workpiece is shaped with a
drop Leaf Bead cutter; the table workpiece is shaped with a
Drop Leaf Cove cutter. With this type joint, the whole edge
of both workpieces is shaped, same side up, and allowance
made for a 1/16" reduction in width. Adjust the infeed fence
to reduce the workpiece width by 1/16", and adjust the
outfeed fence to compensate for stock removed.

45

45

CAUTION: Do not use the standard fence for short work (12 inches or

less in length on the side to be cut). Instead, use a miter gauge or special fixture to
avoid losing control of the workpiece.

TAPER CUTS

Offsetting the Fences

Taper cuts can be made by offsetting the fences for the
amount of taper desired, or with a layout line on the stock
which can be made parallel to the infeed fence as shown in
Figure 42.

1. Start the cut by holding the stock against the infeed

fence and swinging it into contact with the outfeed fence
just past the cutterhead.

2. As the cut is started, transfer pressure to hold the

workpiece against the outfeed fence, and continue feeding the workpiece through.

3. After the first cut the fences will have to be readjusted in order for the second cut (parallel

cut) and the final depth of cut to remain true with the taper.

46

46

TENONING

The tenoning fixture illustrated in Figure 43 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. Secure the leg to jig and position for cut as shown
in Figure 44.
Make all first cuts with the same jig setting and spindle
height. When the first series of cuts have been made,
reposition leg on the jig for each succeeding cut.

Note: If the leg is tapered, use a wedge to
place the side facing the cutter into a 90 degree vertical
position as shown in Figure 45.

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.

MAINTENANCE

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
saw.

 Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.
 Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
 On a weekly basis clean the machine and the area around it.
 Lubricate threaded components and sliding devices.
 Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.
 Clean and oil the tables so that the material will slide easily. Clean any rust spots that may

develop on the bed with a commercial rust remover.

 Use compressed air to blow out the interior of the machine in order to keep chips and

sawdust from accumulating on the belts and pulleys.

 Check the drive belt for tightness. It should be snug but not overly tight.
 Use a mill file to remove any nicks or dings from the infeed or outfeed tables.

Note: Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.

Cleaning

Cleaning the shaper is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off
the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to
remove it.
After cleaning, treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant.
Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the internal parts with more than a vacuum. To
do this, remove the cover panel(s) and clean the internal parts with resin/pitch dissolver or
mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush or steel wool.
Make sure the internal workings are dry before using the shaper again, so that wood dust will
not accumulate. If any essential lubrication is removed during cleaning, re-lubricate those areas.

Lubrication

The shaper has sealed lubricated bearings in the motor housing and the arbor assembly; they
will not require any additional lubrication.
