9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to

hold work when practical. It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

13. NEVER OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep

tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing

and changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off

position before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-

ther use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

20. NEVER USE UNDER THE INFLUENCE of

alcohol or drugs, or when tired.

21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any

instructions you give in regards to the operation of the machine are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.

-4- G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper

1. NEVER ALLOW YOUR HANDS to come

within 12 inches of the cutters. Never pass your hands directly over or in front of the cutter.

2. BLIND CUT WHENEVER POSSIBLE. This

keeps the knives on the underside of the workpiece and provides a distance guard for the operator.

3. WHEN SHAPING CONTOURED WORK

and using a rub collar, NEVER start out at a corner. See the “Rub Collar” instructions further on in the manual.

4. WITH THE MACHINE UNPLUGGED,

always rotate the spindle by hand with any new setup to ensure proper cutter clearance before starting the machine.

5. DO NOT SHAPE STOCK SHORTER than

12 inches without special fixtures or jigs. Where practical, shape longer stock and cut to size.

6. NEVER ATTEMPT to remove too much

material in one pass. You are far more likely to enjoy safer and higher quality results if you allow the cutter to remove material in multiple passes.

7. THE DANGER OF kickback is increased

when the stock has knots, holes, or foreign objects in it. Warped stock should be run through a jointer before attempting to run it through a shaper.

8. KEEP THE UNUSED PORTION of the cut-

ter below the table surface.

9. THE USE OF PUSH STICKS as safety

devices in some applications is smart; in others it can be quite dangerous. If the push stick comes in contact with the cutter on the end grain, it can fly out of your hand like a bullet—potentially causing serious injury. We recommend using some type of fixture, jig, or hold-down device as a safer alternative. Always use the guard as described in the manual.

10. NEVER FORCE MATERIALS through the

shaper. Let the cutters do the work. Excessive force is likely to result in poor cutting results and will cause dangerous kickback conditions.

11. ALWAYS ensure that the cutters, fence,

and spindle elevator knob have been tightened properly before beginning any operation.

12. ALWAYS feed the work toward the cutters

in the direction opposite of the cutter rotation. Also, using and maintaining a sharp cutterhead will greatly reduce the chance of kickback.

13. NEVER REACH BEHIND CUTTER to grab

the workpiece. Your hand may suddenly be pulled into the cutter in the event of a kickback.

14. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING THE SHAPER! Then contact our service

department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

Additional Safety Instructions For Shapers

Like all power tools, there is danger associated with shapers. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper -5-

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Figure 1. 220V Single-Phase

220V Operation

The Model G8622 Shaper is furnished with a 3450 R.P.M., 5 H.P., Single-Phase 220V motor, push-button ON/OFF magnetic starter switch, FORWARD/REVERSE switch and a cord set. Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 25 amps @ 220V. We recommend a 30 amp circuit breaker. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the shaper, contact our service department.

The shaper motor must be connected to its own dedicated 30A circuit, including wires rated for 30 amps and a 30 amp circuit breaker. It should not share a circuit with any other machine. A standard 2-pole breaker is necessary for use with the shaper.

We recommend using a NEMA-style L6-30 plug

and outlet similar to that in Figure 1. You may

also “hard-wire” the shaper directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.

Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing electric current a path of least resistance to disperse electricity. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor which must be properly connected to 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 connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-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.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

-6- G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper

We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should it be necessary to use an extension make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in

Section 1: Safety to determine the minimum

gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

Extension Cords

A wiring diagram is provided at the back of this manual should it be necessary to repair or revise the wiring. Always utilize a qualified electrician when doing any electrical work on this equipment.

Wiring

We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your machine. These requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.

Site Considerations

FLOOR LOAD

Your Model G8622 Shaper represents a moderately large weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial shop floors will be adequate for the 770 lb. weight of the Model G8622. Some floors may require additional support. Contact an architect or structural engineer if you have any question about the ability of your floor to handle the weight.

WORKING CLEARANCES

Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without limitation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also consider the relative position of each machine to one another for efficient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. Avoid chlorinebased solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the usage instructions on the product you choose for clean up.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents to clean with. They have low flash points which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur.

Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explosion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in wellventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmental hazards.

Make your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to children by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjusting, or operating equipment.

G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper -11-

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY

Beginning Assembly

Most of your Model G8622 Shaper has been assembled at the factory, but some parts must be assembled or installed after delivery. We have organized the assembly process into steps. Please follow along in the order presented in this section.

Handwheel

The handwheel, pre-installed at the factory, is made of cast iron. It is used to raise and lower the spindle to accommodate the height required by your cutter.

Thread the crank handle onto the handwheel and tighten with a 12 mm wrench.

Figure 5. Handwheel mounted to shaper.

Keep clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses during the entire assembly process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance or assembly. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Crank Handle

Some metal parts may have sharp edges on them after they are formed. Please examine the edges of all metal parts before handling them. Failure to do so could result in injury.

Switch Pedestal

Turn the switch pedestal upright to install it on the back of the shaper. Have another person hold it in place, then reach inside and thread the nuts onto the bolts.

-12- G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper

Spindles

The Model G8622 comes with

⁄4", 1", & 3⁄4" spin-

dles

like those in Figure 6. 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. To install a spindle:

1. You should not have your machine connect-

ed to a power source at this time. If you do,

UNPLUG it before you begin.

4. Thread the drawbar nut, tapered side up,

onto the bottom of the drawbar, as illustrated

in Figure 8.

5. Place the spindle wrench on top of the spin-

dle, so it fits over the head of the spindle. Place a 15mm wrench on the drawbar nut.

6. Hold the spindle in place and tighten the drawbar nut. DO NOT use excessive force.

Figure 8. Drawbar nut on spindle.

Figure 6. Spindles.

2. Thread the drawbar approximately 10-15

turns into the bottom of the spindle. The drawbar has two threaded ends. One of them will remain exposed.

3. Make sure the spindle and cartridge are

clean and free of the rust inhibiting protective grease. Lower the spindle/drawbar into the spindle cartridge at the top of the table. Line up the keyway on the spindle with the locating pin at the top of the spindle cartridge as

illustrated in Figure 7. You will feel the spin-

dle seat itself.

-18- G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper

Pulleys & V-Belt

SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS

Improper pulley alignment sharply reduces the effectiveness of power transmission and belt life expectancy. To align the pulleys:

1. Remove the motor cover from the back of

the shaper cabinet to expose the motor and pulleys.

2. Check the alignment with a straightedge. If

the pulleys are in alignment, the straightedge should touch two sides of each pulley even-

ly as in Figure 26.

3. If the pulleys are parallel with each other, but

not in line, the motor needs to be adjusted.

4. This process is easiest with the help of

another person. Loosen the four bolts that attach the motor to the motor base. One person should slide the motor either up or down while the other person measures the alignment of the motor pulley and the spindle pulley with a straightedge.

5. When the motor pulley and the spindle pulley

alignment are correct, tighten the motor to the motor base.

6. Inspect your results. If satisfactory, double-

check that the mounting bolts are tight.

7. You can also make small adjustments in the

motor pulley alignment by raising or lowering it along the motor shaft. To do this, loosen

the two setscrews (one is shown in Figure

26) which are in the lowest groove of the

motor pulley and move the pulley into position. Tighten the setscrews when the alignment is satisfactory.

Figure 26. Inspecting pulley alignment.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses during the entire adjustment process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Speed Changes

The Model G8622 Shaper is equipped with a Vbelt drive system that controls the speeds. To change spindle speeds:

1. Unplug the machine.

2. Loosen the two motor plate bolts and slide

the motor toward the spindle assembly. DO NOT take the bolts out.

3. Select the desired speed. There are four

speeds: 3600 R.P.M., 5100 R.P.M., 8000

R.P.M., and 10,000 R.P.M. Figure 27 shows

the belt positions for each available speed.

Figure 27. Spindle speed adjustment.

4. Align the belt along the appropriate pulley

grooves.

5. Slide the motor back into position and tight-

en the belt. When the belt is properly tensioned, there should be approximately

⁄4" of deflection in the center of the belt when you press it with your thumb.

6. Tighten all of the adjustment bolts.

7. Spin the pulley to ensure proper tracking.

V-Belt Tension

You should be able to deflect the belt 1⁄4" with moderate finger pressure. This may seem tight compared to most other V-belts, but since the belt is small and runs fast, this amount of tension is necessary. The V-belt will slip if too loose, and will squeal or cause vibration if too tight. To adjust V-belt tension:

1. Make sure the pulleys are properly aligned.

2. Loosen the two motor mount plate bolts and

slide the motor left or right to modify the belt tension. Keep the pulleys aligned.

3. Tighten the motor mount plate bolts, test the

tension, and check the pulleys.

4. Repeat steps 2-3 until the tension is correct

and the pulleys are aligned.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Fence Adjustment

The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each fence is independently adjustable to compensate for different cutting thicknesses and special shaping applications. Without any play, one turn of the knob moves the split fence approximately

⁄64"

(.078"). To adjust the fence:

1. Loosen the fence lock handle.

2. Turn the fence adjustment knob until the

fence is set to the desired position.

3. Tighten the fence lock handle.

More detailed information concerning fence adjustments is covered in the “Straight Shaping” instructions.

Figure 29. Setting the miter gauge pointer.

Setting Miter Gauge

You will need to square the miter gauge each time it is removed from the table. To do this:

1. Ensure that the fence halves are aligned and

that the miter assembly is correctly assembled.

2. Place one end of a framing or try square

flush with the infeed shaper fence.

3. Rotate the miter gauge/fence so that it lines

up flush with the other end of the square.

4. Set the miter gauge pointer to 0° and tighten the setscrew as shown in Figure 29.

5. Keeping the square flush with the infeed

fence and the miter fence, clamp it to the table, and slide the table across the shaper. The square should stay flush with both infeed and outfeed fences during this movement. If this is the case, proceed to the next section. If they do not stay flush or are not

square to the miter fence, repeat steps 1-4

until they are true. During operation, move the infeed and outfeed fences away from the workpiece before cutting.

Figure 28. Aligning fences with straightedge.

Aligning The Fences

The following procedure ensures that the fence is parallel with itself and square to the table.

1. Check that the bolts through the wood facing

are tight on each side and are adequately countersunk.

2. To align the wood facing, adjust one or both

fence halves so they are in close alignment. Micro-adjust and check the alignment with a

straightedge as shown in Figure 28.

3. If the wood fences cannot be made parallel

by adjusting the fence controls, shim the incorrect fence with electrical washers. Normal washers may work, but electrical washers allow for fine adjustments.

G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper -21-

Never adjust the spindle tilt when the shaper is running. The cutterhead may come in contact with the table or table insert and break apart, throwing shards of metal through the air. These metal chunks will be flying extremely fast and could cause death or severe injury.

Figure 30. Spindle tilt control and gauge.

Tilting Spindle

The Model G8622 Shaper has a tilting spindle feature to allow a wider variety of profiles. Spindles can be tilted when needed as long as the cutterheads do not hit the table insert or table during operation. ALWAYS adjust and check the spindle tilt BEFORE you turn the shaper on.

Figure 30 shows the tilt wheel that controls the

tilting feature. Notice that on the other side of the shaper, there is an angle guide located below the vertical adjustment wheel. This will show you the present angle of spindle tilt.

Angle Guide

Tilt Control

Table Insert

The Model G8622 is supplied with a special table insert that allows room for the spindle to tilt. Using this insert offers more support for the workpiece and reduces the amount of chips that can fall into the machine.

The table insert must be flush with the top of the table. To adjust the insert:

1. Remove the three Phillips

head screws that

hold the cast iron insert in place.

2. By using a straightedge and a screwdriver,

turn the barrel screws clockwise or counterclockwise to level the cast iron insert with the

top surface of the table as shown in Figure

31.

3. Inspect the table insert with the straightedge

positioned from both side-to-side and frontto-back to ensure that the insert is flush with the table. Replace and secure the Phillips

head screws.

(guard removed for clarity).

-22- G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper

Never use the Model G8622 for applications other than those for which it was intended. DO NOT overload the machine or use excessive force when shaping materials. Severe personal injury, damage to the machine, or damage to your workpiece could occur.

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to start the machine.

DO NOT have a cutter installed when you test run the shaper. Turn on the power supply at the main

panel. Press the ON button. Make sure that your finger is poised on the OFF button, just in case

there is a problem. The shaper should run smoothly with little/no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further.

If the shaper seems to be running correctly, check the directional switch. The spindle should be rotating in a counterclockwise direction when

the switch is in the FWD position. Run the Model

G8622 for a short time to ensure that the moving parts are working properly with no excessive vibration. If any problem develops, correct it before attempting to use the machine.

If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises or problems, immediately contact our service department for help.

Test Run

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper -23-

SECTION 6: OPERATION

Figure 32. Control panel.

Rotation

Your shaper is equipped with a forward and

reverse switch as shown in Figure 32. In many

instances, it will be necessary to flip the cutter over and reverse the cutter rotation. Whenever possible, mount the cutter so the board is milled on the bottom side. This method does a better job and is safer for the operator.

Always check the direction of cutter rotation before beginning any shaping operation, and always feed work against the direction of the cutter rotation.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses during all operations on the shaper. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Always wear a dust mask when operating the shaper. Using this machine produces sawdust which may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems.

NOTICE

This machine was designed to be started and stopped with the ON/OFF buttons—not the reversing switch.

NOTICE

The following section was designed to give instructions on the basic operations of this shaper. However, it is in no way comprehensive of every shaper application. There are many different jigs that can be built to increase safety, accuracy, and variety of cuts. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training to maximize the potential of your shaper.

-24- G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper

Table Lock

The sliding table works with the clamping miter gauge to allow you to secure your workpiece to the table and to make cuts by sliding the table. This feature greatly increases operator safety because it keeps hands away from the cutterhead during crosscuts.

When the sliding operation is not desired, the

table lock shown in Figure 34 will make the table

stationary. Simply pull the knurled shaft and twist it so the cross pins slide into the largest slots in the housing. If you want to unlock the table, pull the shaft, twist it, and place the cross pins in the smallest slot.

Figure 34. Table lock.

The sliding table makes it easy to feed the work into the cutter at a faster rate than would normally be used. Always feed the work slow and steady to avoid kickback and to achieve smooth results with your work. Although the miter assembly does aid in safety, common sense should always be used during every shaping operation.

Cutter Installation

Your shaper operates at speeds of 3600, 5100, 8000 and 10,000 R.P.M. 3

⁄2" or larger cutters

must be operated at the slowest speed.

Always use the largest spindle size possible, and never use more than one bushing size to gain two spindle sizes. ”Stacking” two cutter bushings to decrease the inside diameter of the cutter will cause the cutter to perform incorrectly when placed under a load.

1. Unplug the shaper.

2. Place an appropriate spacer or collar at the

base of the spindle for support. Place the cutter on the spindle, making sure the rotation is correct for your application.

3. Use spacers or collars to suit your particular

application, then place the spindle washer under the nut. Screw on the nut and locknut.

4. Tighten the nuts while holding the spindle

stationary. Use a wrench on the flats at the top of the spindle for leverage as shown in

Figure 33.

Figure 33. Tightening spindle nuts.

Always use a spindle lock nut during operation. If this warning is ignored, the cutter may fly off the spindle during use and cause severe personal injury.

G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper -25-

The fence assembly is a two-piece, independently adjustable system. When removing material from the whole face of your workpiece, the outfeed fence can be adjusted to provide support for the workpiece as it passes over the cutter. The outfeed fence can also be set in-line for partial face removal.

If removing material from the whole face, observe the following steps:

1. Loosen the locking handles shown in Figure 36 that hold the fences in place.

Straight ShapingSpindle Height

To adjust the cutter height:

1. Loosen the spindle lock shown in Figure 35.

2. Move the spindle up or down with the hand-

wheel until the desired position is obtained.

3. Lock the spindle into position.

Figure 35. Location of spindle lock.

The lock knob keeps the spindle in a fixed position during shaper operation. Do not over-tighten the lock knob. A snug fit is all that is needed to keep the spindle from moving during operation.

NOTICE

2. Adjust the infeed fence by turning the adjust-

ment knobs until the workpiece contacts the cutter in the desired location.

3. Lock the infeed fence in position with the

locking handle. Use a test piece to determine the best setting.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Read the entire manual before making any cuts with your shaper. Serious personal injury may result if safety or operational information is not understood or followed.

Figure 36. Location of fence locking handles.

-26- G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper

4. Loosen the mounting screws on the fence

faces and set the face ends to barely clear the cutter. This allows the maximum support possible for the workpiece while passing the cutter. Remember to tighten the wood facing before starting the shaper.

5. A test sample of the desired cut should be

advanced about 8'' then stopped.

6. Once the shaper is turned off and the cutter

has come to a complete stop, adjust the outfeed fence to support the new profiled edge.

See Figure 37.

Figure 37. Fence adjusted to support workpiece.

If the face of the workpiece will only be partially removed, observe the following steps:

1. Adjust the infeed fence to approximately the

desired depth of cut. Lock the infeed fence in place.

2. Use a straightedge to adjust the outfeed

fence to the same plane as the infeed. Lock the outfeed fence in place.

3. Set the right and left wood face ends so they

barely clear the cutter. This allows the maximum support possible for the workpiece while passing the cutter. Remember to tighten down the wood facing before starting the shaper.

4. Run a test piece through the shaper as shown in Figure 38.

Figure 38. Fence adjustment for blind cuts.

5. Always cut the end grain first when putting

an edge around the perimeter of your work-

piece. See Figure 39.

Figure 39. Sequence for multiple cuts.

G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper -27-

Figure 41. Rub collar installed above cutter.

Figure 42. Rub collar between two cutters.

3. Between two cutters: Using a rub collar

between two cutters, as in Figure 42, has

the distinct advantage of performing two cuts at once or eliminating the need to change cutters for two different operations. Notice that part of the edge is left uncut. The uncut portion rides on the rub collar.

2. Above the cutter: When the rub collar is used above the cutter as seen in Figure 41,

the cut cannot be seen. This offers some advantage: the stock is not affected by slight variations in thickness and accidental lifting will not damage the workpiece. If lifting occurs, simply correct the mistake by repeating the operation.

Figure 40. Rub collar installed below cutter.

Rub Collars

Rub collars are used when shaping curved or irregular workpieces, such as arched doors or round table tops. Rub collars also limit the depth of your cut.

There are two types of rub collars—solid and ballbearing. We recommend against the use of solid rub collars. Grizzly carries an extensive line of ball bearing rub collars designed for use with Grizzly shapers. See the current catalog for listings.

Rub collars may be used in any of the following positions:

1. Rub collar below the cutter: When the rub

collar is used below the cutter as shown in

Figure 40, the progress of the cut can be

observed. However, any unintentional movement may lift the workpiece into the cutter, damaging your work and creating a potential kickback situation.

Whenever the cutterhead is above the workpiece, or you can see it spinning during use, you must take extreme caution to keep your hands away from the cutterhead. Failure to do so may cause serious personal injury.

-28- G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper

Workpieces must be solid, stable, and secured to the jig; or kickback may occur, causing personal injury.

When making a pattern jig here are a few things to consider:

1. Build your jig from a material that will

smoothly follow the rub collar or fence.

Pattern Work

When using a pattern, the rub collar can be positioned either above, below or between cutters.

The pattern is usually used when the entire edge is to be shaped or when many duplicate pieces are needed. Pattern work is particularly useful when rough cutting irregular or oversize pieces and then shaping the edge in a simple two-step operation. A pattern can be incorporated into a jig by way of adding toggle clamps, hand holds or other safety devices.

You have greater flexibility when choosing the correct diameter rub collar for pattern work than

for non-pattern work. If you look at Figure 43, you

will notice that the position of the pattern determines the depth of cut. In other words, your pattern size is dependent upon the interrelationship of the cutting circle, the desired amount of material removed, and the rub collar size. Changing one or more of these will change the amount of material removed. Planning ahead, you can most effectively decide which rub collars are best suited for your application.

2. Make the jig stable, using proven methods

and materials, and fasten the hand holds for operator comfort and safety.

3. Secure your workpiece on the three sides

that will not be cut with toggle clamps, or fasten the workpiece to the jig with wood screws. Ensure that clamps and hidden screws do not come into contact with the cutter.

4. Design your jig so that all cutting occurs

underneath the workpiece as shown in

Figure 44. Notice the operator is not

exposed to the cutting edge of the cutter!

5. Always consider the cutting circle and rub

collar diameter for the correct cutting depth when designing your pattern.

6. Make sure the workpiece rests flat on the

table, not on the fixture.

Figure 44. Pattern jig for making curved pieces

(guard removed for clarity).

Figure 43. Rub collar determines depth of cut.

Pattern

Rub Collar

Irregular or freehand shaping takes a high degree of skill and dexterity. The fence assembly is not used during irregular shaping, so rub collars must be used. Also, unless your jig is designed to touch the rub collar before contacting the blade, a starting fixture must be used to begin your cut.

Workpiece fits here

G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper -29-

Freehand Shaping

About starting fixtures:

The purpose of the starting fixture is to support the workpiece during the beginning of the cut. The workpiece is typically placed in the starting position using the starting fixture for support, Then swung into the cutter while holding the workpiece firmly against the starting fixture. After the cut has been started, the work is swung away from the starting fixture and is supported only by

the rub collar. Always feed against the rotation

of the cutter and do not start cuts at corners.

To use your pattern jig:

1. Remove the fence assembly. Choose the

appropriate cutter and rub collar for your application and lock them in place. Secure your workpiece to the pattern jig.

2. Check cutter rotation, and adjust the spindle

height to align the cutter to your workpiece. Clamp a starting fixture to the table surface, using the location that best supports your work.

3. If everything is correct and the cutter is tight.

Turn the shaper on.

4. Place your jig/workpiece against the starting

fixture. Using firm pressure, pivot the workpiece into the cutter and make sure the jig is touching the rub collar. Keep your jig in contact with the rub collar and slowly follow the pattern, moving against the cutter rotation.

Freehand methods are one of the most dangerous operations performed on a shaper.

Although this machine is capable of performing freehand operations, we do not recommend that you attempt to do so. If you MUST perform freehand operations, get formal training and read a book that details freehand operations, their inherent dangers, and ways to avoid those dangers!

Miter Assembly

When the workpiece is clamped to the table using the miter assembly, crosscuts can be made with a much greater degree of safety. The miter gauge

can be adjusted to 60° in both directions. Figure 45 shows the miter gauge set to 0° and Figure 46

shows it at 45°. To adjust the miter fence:

1. Loosen the miter gauge with the adjustment

handle.

2. Assuming that you have performed the steps

in the “Setting Miter Gauge” instructions, turn the miter gauge in the desired direction so the pointer indicates the angle, and tighten the miter gauge with the adjustment handle.

Figure 45. Miter gauge set to 0°

(fences opened for clarity).

Figure 46. Miter gauge set to 45°

(fences opened for clarity).

-30- G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper

The miter fence can be adjusted by loosening

the two bolts that hold it to the miter gauge and then sliding it in the desired direction.

The support fence slides up and down the miter

fence and can be locked to hold the back of the workpiece in place.

The miter clamp holds the workpiece firm

against the table and keeps it in position against all of the associated fences.

To use the miter assembly:

1. Determine the angle of cut and set the miter

gauge to that angle, without tightening it yet. (The angle of the miter gauge should be determined by the angle of the workpiece you are about to shape.) Lock the miter gauge in place.

2. Move the infeed and outfeed fences out of

the way. Hold the workpiece flush against the miter fence and slide the workpiece and table toward the cutter. Line the workpiece up with the cutter.

3. Slide the support fence to the back of the

workpiece and lock in place.

4. Clamp the workpiece to the table with the miter clamp as shown in Figure 47.

5. The workpiece is now ready for the cut.

Figure 47. Locking down the miter clamp.

Shaper Accessories

There are many accessories that can be built or purchased to increase the safety of the operator. Many experienced shaper users regularly use proven shop-made fences and safety guards to augment their shaping operations. In addition, many production shops routinely use power feeders with their shapers to streamline their operations.

Here are some basic accessories and their uses:

• Zero Clearance Fence — A shop-made

fence with an opening only as large as the cutter, so that only the part of the cutter being used is exposed.

• Box Fence — A shop-made box that com-

pletely surrounds the cutter. A one-piece fence is attached that allows only the thickness of the board to pass underneath, thereby completely shielding the operator from exposure to the spinning cutter. A clear plexiglass window on top of the box allows the operator to view the workpiece during cutting.

• Power Feeder — A motorized unit that can

be clamped or permanently mounted to the table of a shaper. A power feeder pulls the workpiece through the cut, reducing the risk of operator contact with the spinning cutter and reducing any injuries due to kickback. Because of the steady feed rate, power feeders can also produce cleaner, more consistent cuts. Check the current Grizzly catalog for available power feeders.

Because of the wide range of fences and guards that can be built in the shop, explaining their construction is beyond the scope of this manual. We strongly recommend that you read shaper books, trade magazines, or get formal training to learn more about these.

G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper -31-
