Cutting Rails
For safety and best results, we recommend using
a shaper with adjustable fences and a miter gauge.
These instructions are only intended for setting up
the cutter for counterclockwise rotation.
To cut the rail ends:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Slide the flat cutter, bearing side up, over the
spindle as shown in Figure A

These shaper bits have sharp edges. Use care
while removing the waxy protective coating.
Never turn on the shaper with the protective
coating still on the bit.

3. Place the bushing into the hole in the profile cut-
ter and slide both onto the spindle.
4. Thread the spindle nut against the bushing and
tighten it with a wrench.

5. Use a straightedge to align the fences with the
edge of the guide bearing.
Cutting Stiles
6. Align the bottom edge of the shaper cutter with
the top, or slightly below the top of the table.
7. Before turning the shaper ON, place a test rail
on against the miter gauge finished face up and
slide it against the fence.
Note—We recommend using a back-up piece of
wood behind the rail to prevent tear-out.
8. Turn ON the shaper and slide the miter gauge
and test rail through the shaper cutter as shown
in Figure B.
Note—The workpiece must always be fed
against the cutter rotation and the full depth of
profile should be made in one pass to ensure a
precise cut.
These instructions are intended for
COUNTERCLOCKWISE spindle operation only.
DO NOT operate the shaper in the clockwise
direction to make a climb cut. If this warning
is ignored, the workpiece can kick forward,
and may pull the hand into the shaper cutter,
causing severe injury or death!
To cut the stile edges:
1. Unplug the shaper!
2. Place the bushing into the hole in the profile cut-
ter from the bottom, as shown in Figure C,
slide both onto the spindle.

of the guide bearing with a straightedge. This
should already be aligned from Step 5 of
Rails.
6. Align the bottom edge of the shaper cutter with
the top, or slightly below the top of the table.
7. Turn ON the shaper and slide a test stile, face
up, through the shaper cutter.
Note—The workpiece must always be fed
against the cutter rotation and the full depth of
profile should be made in one pass to ensure a
precise cut.
8. Turn ON the shaper and slide a test stile, face
up, through the shaper cutter.
9. Place the test stile and rail together to check for
a smooth fit
