Familiariz e you rself with the following safety no tices used in this manual:

This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor injury and/or

possible machine damage.

This means that if precauti ons are not heeded, it may result in serious injury or possibly

even death.

Short stock – Never shape stock less than 12 inches in length without special fixtures. Where practic al, shape longer stoc k and c ut 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 c utters (Figure A). As one hand approaches the 12 i nch radius point , remove it (or the push stick) in an arc motion and reposition hands 12 i nc hes beyond t he c utters.

Blind cut – W hen blind cutting, t he workpiece i s positioned on t op of the template. This keeps the cutter(s) cutting only the underside of the workpiece and prov ides a "distanc e" guard f or the operator.

Cutter Clearance – W ith the power disconnect ed, always rotate the spindle by hand with any new set-up to ensure pr oper c learance wit h the cutters. At the same tim e, check to be sure the c utt erhead is turning in the cor r ect dir ec tion.

Stock feed – Feed stock opposi te to the di recti on of the cut ter rot ation (Figur e B). Nev er back stock out of the cutter once the cut has been started. Instead, pull the stock straight out away from cutter and begin the cut again.

Guide pin – Whenever possibl e, use a guide pin when performing pattern shaping and collar shaping operations.

Tool maintenance – Clean and sharp t ools 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.

Spindle speed – Do not o perate tools at speeds higher than rated by the manufacturer.

Cutter selection – Use only those cutters designed to be used on the m achine, and mount only safety type c utt er s on the spi ndle.

Stock condition – The danger of kicked-back stock can occur when the stock ha s knots, hole s, or foreign objec ts such as nails. Warped or in-wind stock should f ir st be joi nt ed on one surf ac e bef ore attempting to use it on the shaper.

Fence Cast ing

1. Place the fence casting (B) onto the t able of the cabinet (A).

2. Line up the threaded ends of the lock

handles (B holes (A

) with the threaded mounting

) on the table. Tighten the lock

handles but allow sufficient slack to permit the fence to be adjusted backward and forward.

Fence

1. Place a plast ic flat washer (Q) on the fence lock knob (P). Insert t he thr eaded end of the

lock knob through the slotted opening (B

)

from the back of the casting (B). From the front side, att ach a slide (R) to the threaded end of the lock knob (P) and tighten the knob several turns.

2. Install a fence (M) by engaging the track on the rear of the fenc e with t he slide (R).

3. Tighten the lock knob (P), but allow enough slack to permit t he fence (M) to slide.

4. Repeat above steps to i nstall the remaining fence.

Featherboard

Loosen lock handles (N1) and slide the rail of the featherboard (N) so the squared edges of the

carriage bolt underneath the lock handles (N

)

engage in the track along the top of the fence (M).

Cutter Guard

Place flat washers (J) on two lock knobs (H). Insert lock knobs through the slotted openings on the cutter guard (C) and secure to the threaded mounting holes (B

) on the fence

casting (B).

Handwheel Handle

Thread handle ( F) onto the handwheel (F1) and tighten with the 12mm wrench (V) provi ded.

Electrical Connections

Electrical connections must

be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly ground ed to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.

General Information

A power plug is not provided with the Model JWS-25X. You may either connect the proper UL/CSA listed plug or “hardwire” the machine directly to your el ectrical panel provi ded there is a disconnect near t he machi ne for the operator. Consult electrical drawings on page 43 for further clarification of wiring setup.

This machine must be grounded. Grounding provides a path of least resistance t o help divert current away from the operator in case of electrical malfunction.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specif ications on the m otor pl ate of the machine.

Extens ion Cords

If an extension cord is necessary, mak e sure t he cord rati ng is suitabl e for t he amper age listed on the machine's motor plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in l oss of power and overheating.

The chart i n Table 1 shows the correct size cord to use based on cord length and motor plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the c or d.

Operating Controls

Start/Stop

Referring to Fi gur e 15: The JWS-25X shaper is equipped with a

pushbutton cont rol system and rev ersing switch. The green start (A) and red stop (B) pushbuttons are mounted i n a control enclosure on the f ront of the machine.

To start the machine

1. Unlock the spindle (see Unlocking the Spindle on page 17).

Before starting the machine, make sure that the spindle is unlocked. Failure to comply can cause damage to the machine.

2. Set the forward/reverse switch (C) as

required.

Figure 15

3. Press the green start button (A). To stop the machine

Do not operate the forward/reverse switch while the motor is running. Wait until the spindle comets to a complete stop.

4. Press the red stop butt on (B). Note: The red stop button also acts as an

overload reset button. If overload should trip, reset by depressing the r ed stop button.

Operations

Overview

Before applyi ng power to the machi ne, Check the motor and switch wiring diagrams for proper voltage connections. Check that all mounting screws and bolts are tight.

Turn on the motor mom entarily to check for proper rotation. The spindle should rotate counterclockwise when looki ng down on the spindle. Correc t as required.

Run the machine for a short period of time to ensure that the movi ng parts are working properly with no excessiv e vibration. If a probl em develops, correct it before turning the shaper over for general use.

Safety Devices

Safety devic es such as guards, fixtures, t emplates hold-downs, push sticks (Figure 16), feather boards and power feeders should be used whenever possibl e. Figure 16 shows a push sti ck which can be easily m ade from scrap wood.

Note: For the sake of clarit y, the shaper guard ha s been omitted from most illustrations. All shaper operations m ust be done with the proper guar d in place and any other device which insures the safety of the oper ator.

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 c ontrol or personal i njury. Preband shaper the stock whenever possible to 1/16 inch of finished size. When an edge finish is unsatisfact ory, take two or more cuts with t he final cut no more than 1/16 inch deep.

In the case of shaping acro ss the gr ain, t he trail ing board edge will often splinter. To correct this, the best solution i s to make the board 1/4 inch ov ersiz e in width, shape the board, and sim ply trim off the excess.

Cutter Rotation

Counterclockw ise Setup – With t he cutter instal led as shown in Figure 17, feed the workpiece from

right to left.

Grain Direction Considerations

Plan to shape the workpi ece in the same direct ion as the grain when possible. Some open grain woods (such as redwood, fi r and oak) will leave a rough, or sli ghtly spl intered edge when c ut against the grain.

Figure 16

Figure 17

Clockwise Setup – With the cutter installed as shown in Fi gure 18, feed t he workpiece f rom left to right.

Figure 18

Using the Fence

Using the fence is the saf est and most satisfact ory method of shaping, and should always be used when the work permits. Almost all straight work can be used with the fence.

For average work, where a porti on of the original edge of the work is not to be touched by the cutter, both the front and rear fences are set in a str aight line as shown in Figur e 19.

When the shaping operation removes the entire edge of the work, e.g. in jointing or making a full bead, the shaped edge will not be supported by the outfeed fence when both fences are in line, Figure 20. In this case, the stock should be advanced to the position shown in Figure 18 and stopped. Turn off the machine and move the outfeed fence forward to contact the workpiece, Figure 21. Remove the workpiec e, start t he mot or, and then continue the oper ation.

Always remove workpiece before starting the machine! This will prevent kickback and potential serious injury.

Figure 19

Figure 20

Figure 21

"Z" Dimension

Before making a templat e ( or usi ng the edge of the workpiece) for shaper cutting, the "Z" dimension must be established in order to determine the shape and size of the finished stock. The "Z" dimension is t he diff erence between the i nnerm ost part of the c utter edge and the outsi de diameter of the ball beari ng follower (collar). See Figure 22.

Note: The "Z" dim ension can be either positive or negative.

The "Z" dim ension is positiv e if the cutt er is larger than the coll ar bearing.

The "Z" dimension is negative if the cutter is smaller than the c ollar bear ing.

Depth of Cut

The depth of cut is the distance from the outside circumference edge of the collar (which the work rides against) t o the outside edge of the cutter. The depth of cut is determined by the position of the fence rel ative to the cutt erhead and/or by the u se of shaper coll ar s (see Figure 23).

Figure 22

Straight Edge Shaping

Straight edge shaping is always performed with the workpiece again st the fence. Use only push sti cks and hold downs to keep the workpi ec e on posi tion.

Do not use a miter gauge to feed material along the fence face. The workpiece can bind and cause kickback. Failure to comply may cause seriou s injury!

To set up:

1. Disconnect or unplug the machine from its

power source.

2. Check to see t hat the f ence f aces are paral lel,

properly in line or offset if necessary, and securely tightened.

3. Rotate the cutt er s and i nspect for clearance.

4. Lock the spindl e.

5. Install all nec essary guards.

6. Reconnect power to the mac hine.

7. Take a tri al cut on a piece of scrap the sam e

thickness as workpiece.

Note: Only a short cut i s necessary t o determ ine if the profile, depth, and height of cut is correct.

Figure 23

Edge Shaping

When edge shaping, never attempt t o hand guide any stock less than 12 inches long, or narrower than 3 inches wit hout t he use of a special gui de as shown in Figure 24.

When edge shaping, the work-

piece must b e at least 12 inch es long unless a special guide is used.

1. Use the hol d-ins and hold-do wns as shown in

Figure 24 to firmly hold the workpiece down and against the f ence. If workpiece i s too wide for the hold-ins to be used, clamp a scrap board to the table to substitute for the hold-i ns.

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

feed workpiec e against rotation of the cutter.

Figure 24

3. Feed the workpiece slowly and steadily with

firm, even pressure to m ak e a smooth cut.

Important: The rate of feed depends on de pth of cut and experi enc e of operator.

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 in-feed or out-feed fence. Use a guide similar to t he one shown in Figure 25 which tightly clamps the scrap piece to the workpiece and provides the necessary width.

End shaping a narrow workpiece without a special guide could result in the workpiece rocking into the cutterhead, causing personal injury.

Shaping All Sides

Because cross grain shaping is more likely to create chi pping out and splinters on some woods, it is good practice to first shape the cross-grain sides. Any chippi ng that does occur is taken care of by the with-grain cuts, as shown in Figure 26.

On-Edge Shaping

If the shaper fence does not firmly support wide stock, use the T-slots in the fence to attach a special rigid high fence as shown in Figure 27.

Figure 25

Figure 26

Note: Be sure the scre w holes are counter sunk in the special fence to avoid interference with the workpiece.

Figure 27

Straight Line Bevel Shaping

To shape a beveled straight edge, use a beveledge shaping jig in combination with the regular fence as shown in Figur e 28.

Figure 28

To perform a bevel-edge cut, the in-f eed edge of the jig is placed against the infeed fence and clamped to the table as shown in Figure 29. The outfeed fence is moved forward as necessary to compensate for the cut.

Contour Edge Shaping With Collar Bearing

To shape contoured edge s, the operator m ust first remove the fenc e assembly .

In order to control the workpiece and limit the depth-of- cut, the operat or must use an anti-fricti on collar with the cutt er ( s) as shown in Figure 30.

Figure 30

The collar may be positioned above or below the cutter(s), and its function is to ride against the workpiece or tem plate. A t the same tim e, the coll ar will establish the depth-of-cut as shown in Figure 31. Whenever possible, al ways use the ring guard or safety collar.

Figure 29

Never attempt to bevel cut free hand. Always use a bevel-edg e f ixture.

Note: Since the collar requires at least 1/8" of

surface edge to r ide against, t he entire edge cannot be shaped as sho wn in Figure 32. The added u se of a pattern, however, permits the shaping of the entire contour edge.

Figure 31

Figure 32

If the workpiece is to be shaped all around the perimeter , hold it firmly and pu sh the work strai ght into the cut ter until the depth of cut is established by the collar as shown in Figure 33. Continue to feed the work so that the point of contact on the edge is always 90 degrees to t he collar (or dir ectly in line with the c utter edge) and held firml y against it.

When the workpiece is not contoured all around, start the cut as shown in Figure 39. With this operation, t he workpi ece is positioned against the starter pin and the end swung into place to start the cut. When the cut has begun and the workpiece f irmly agai nst t he col l ar, swing the stoc k away from the pin and proceed wit h c ut.

Freehand shaping is ext remely dangerous. The operator must be aware at all times of the proximity of his hands to the cutter. Han ds must never come closer th an 12 inches to the cu t t er wi t hou t t he proper guard or similar safet y devi ce over the cutterhead.

Shaping With Collars

When shaping with coll ars and starting pin, always adhere to the following rules for good work and safe operation:

Figure 33

Figure 34

The collar m ust have suffici ent beari ng surface, as shown in Figure 34. Also, the stock must be f airly heavy in proporti on to the cut being made. Under no circumstances should a short, light workpiece be shaped against the collars, as in Figure 35.

Note: The edge of t he work to be shaped must be smooth. Any irregul arit y on the surface which ri des against the coll ar will be duplicated on t he molded surface.

Collars must be smooth and free from pitch and other substances.

Position of Collars

Collars may be used above, below or between cutterheads.

1. When the collar is used below the cutter, as

shown in Figure 36, the progress of the cut c an be seen throughout the operation. However, any accident al lif ting of the work will gouge the wood and ruin the workpi ec e.

2. When the collar is used above the cutter, as

shown in Figure 37, the cut cannot be seen. But this method offer s an advantage in that the cut is not affected by slight variations in the thickness of the stock. Also, accidental lifting of the workpiece will not gouge the workpiece; simply repeat the operation to correct the mistake.

Figure 35

Figure 36

Figure 37

3. Using the collar between the two cutters has

the adv antages and disadvantages of the first two procedure s, and is frequentl y used where both edges of the work are to be molded, Figure 38.

Note: It is adv isable to place t he cutter as low as possible on the spi ndle to reduce spindle deflecti on and ensure the best possible finish. Also make sure that t he contacting surf aces of the cutter are smooth, clean and without dents.

Starting Pin

Use of the starting pin should only be attempted by advanced users. If you have never used this method, it is recommended you get training from a qualified person. Fail ure to co mply may resul t in serious injury.

The starti ng pin is used to support the work when starting t he c ut.

1. The work should be placed in the position 1,

(Figure 39), usi ng the starting pin as a support

2. Swing the work into t he cutter as shown in t he

position 2. The work i s now support ed by the starting pin and the collar.

3. After the cut has been started, the work is

swung free of the starting pin and only rides against the collar (Figure 40). Always feed against the cut terhead rotation.

Figure 38

Figure 39

Figure 40

Arcs and Circles

Large circular and arc-shaped stock can be shaped as descri bed in Contour Edge Sh aping on page 24. However, sm aller sized stock requires the use of special shaping jigs similar to t hose sho wn in Figure 41.

With the ent ire fence assem bly remov ed, 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 that the jig curve matches exactl y the workpiec e curve. At all times keep the workpiece firmly in contact with the jig while the cutter is cut ting the stock.

Never perform this type

operation without a ring guard, safety collar or similar safet y devi ce over the cutterhead.

Enclosed Edge Shaping

An enclosed workpiece edge is shaped in the same manner as an outside contoured edge except that a starting pin is not required as shown in Figure 42.

Note: If the whole edge is to be shaped, the operator must use a patter n.

Figure 41

Position the workpi ece on the table before starti ng the motor. The operator must do the entire shaping cut by pushing (feeding) the workpiece into the cutter(s).

Enclosed edge shaping is extremely dangerous. The operator must be aware at all times of the di rect io n of feed. Never perform this type operation without a ring guard, safety collar or similar safety device over the cutterh ead.

With a firm grip, ease the edge into the cutter(s) until stopped by t he c ollar as shown in Fi gur e 42.

Continue to push straight in while feeding and turning the workpiece at the sam e time until t he c ut is finished. T urn off t he motor and do not r emove workpiece until the cutters have completely stopped.

Never perform enclosed edge

shaping if there is less than two inches of workpiece material all around the opening. Never perform enclosed edge shaping if the workpiece op ening is smaller, in an y direction, than twice the diameter o f th e cut t er( s) .

Figure 42

Templates

The template must be thick enough to provide a solid bearing edge against a collar. When constructi ng a templat e similar to the one shown in Figure 43, keep in mind that it serves only as a guide for the cutter.

If the workpiece requires all-around shaping, the template c an be constructed f rom sev eral sect ions pieced together as shown in Figure 44.

Securing the Template

There are various methods used to secure the template to the workpiece. The experienced operator will choose the most appropriate according t o the shape, size, and type c onstruct i on of the template. For example, if the workpiece is large enough to extend beyond the front of the table and sti ll l eave r oom for the desir ed cut , it can be securely held to the tem plate with "C" clamps as shown in Figure 45.

Figure 43

Figure 44

In many situations the workpiece is positioned against the template using dowels as anchor points and handles (wood blocks) to assist the operator in guidi ng the work-piece through the cut as shown in Figure 46.

Figure 45

Figure 46

Special Cuts

The illustrat ions in this section show the prof ile, or section, views made by the cutter(s). The most effici ent cutters are carbide ti pped 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 imaginati on.

Stacked Cutters

A variety of inter esting and timesavi ng cuts can be made in a single setup by stacking the cutters. When the operator stacks the cutters, extra care should be taken to see that all par ts are clean, free of nicks and flaws, and perfectly balanced in the stacked positi on.

Sash and Door Shaping

Shaping a door requires two operations. Figure 47 shows the sash cut for the first

operation. Figure 48 shows the stock flipped over and the

sash cutter used with a 1/4 inch groove cutter to complete the cut.

Figure 49 shows the f i rst shaping cut wit h the sash cutter for t he matc hing door stile sash.

Figure 50 shows the same cut with the stock flipped ov er.

Figure 47

Figure 48

Figure 50

Figure 51 shows the f irst shaping c ut for a window sash stile ut ilizing a sash cutter, col lar, and a 1/2 inch groove cutt er .

Figure 49

Figure 51

Figure 52 shows BOT H cut s required for a window sash rail end. The f irst operat ion at t op is a rabbet cut made with a groove cutter. The second operation is performed with a stub spindle and buttonhead screw.

Butt Joints

All butt-type joints require both work-pieces to be perfectly square and straight-edged.

Glue Butt Joint

To perform a glue butt joint, both fences are kept inline and adj ust ed for a depth of cut (Figure 53).

The cuts on both work-pieces are part-edge cuts which do not reduce the stock width during the cutting procedure. When shaping the two workpieces, one i s f ed t op-side up; the ot her is fed bottom-side up.

Tongued Joint

Similar to the glue joint, both fences are kept in-l ine for the tongued joint and adjusted for a 1/4 inch depth of-c ut with no reducti on in stock widt h. With this joint, however, both work-pi eces are f ed with the same side up as shown in Figure 54.

Drop Leaf Joint

When shaping a drop-leaf joint as shown in Figure 55, the leaf workpiece is shaped with a Drop-Leaf Bead cutter; the table workpiece is shaped with a Drop-Leaf Cove cutter.

Figure 52

Figure 53

Figure 54

With this type joint, the whole edge of both workpieces is shaped, same-side up, and allowance m ade for a 1/16 i nch reducti on in widt h. Adjust the in-feed fence to reduce the workpiece width by 1/16 i nc h, and adjust the out-feed fence to compensate for stock removed.

Taper Cuts

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 paralleled to the infeed fence as shown in Figure 56.

Start the cut by holding the stock against the infeed fence and swinging it into contact with the outfeed f ence just past the cut terhead. As the cut is started, t ransfer pressure to hol d the workpiece against the outfeed fence, and continue feeding the workpiece through. After the first cut, the fences will have to be readjusted in order for the second cut (parall el cut) and the final depth-of-cut to remain true with the taper.

Figure 55

Figure 56

Do not use the standard fence for short work (12 inches or less in length on the side t o be cut). Instead, use a miter g auge or special fixture to avoid l osing control o f the workpiece.

Tenoning

The tenoning f ixture ill ustrated in Fi gure 57 shows a miter gauge equipped with a hold-down for shaping the ends of narr ow work-piec es.

The miter gauge can also be adapted to cut square and centered tenons at t he ends of legs for tables, chairs, etc. S ec ur e the leg t o jig and posi tion for cut as shown in Figure 58.

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.

Figure 57

Note: If the leg i s tapered, use a wedge to place the side fac ing the cutt er into a 90 degree vertical position as shown in Figur e 59.
