4. This shaper is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If

you are not familiar wit h the proper and safe operation of a shaper, do not use until proper training
and knowledge have been obtained.

5. Do not use this shaper for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Walter Meier

(Manufacturing) Inc., disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury
that may result from that use.

6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this shaper. Everyday eyeglasses only

have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

7. Before operating t his shaper, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past

the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips
are recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

9. Some dust created by power sanding, shaping, grinding, drilling and other construction activities

contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paint.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

10. Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your

exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

11. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

12. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

13. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source. A

machine under repair should be RED TAGGED to show it must not be used until maintenance is
complete.

14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting

wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance

purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.

16. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, 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.

17. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

18. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

21. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

22. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing safety keys.

23. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are

careless acts that can result in serious injury.

24. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the blade or other

moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

25. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for

which it was not desig ned. The right tool will do the job better and safer.

26. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

27. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutter sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow

instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

28. Check the cutter for cracks or missing teeth. Do not use a cracked cutter or one with missing teeth or

improper set. Make sure the cutter is securely locked on the arbor.

29. Keep hands clear of the cutter area. Do not reach past the cutter to clear parts or scrap with the

shaper running. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to contact the cutter.

30. Do not attempt to shape boards with loos e knots or with nails or other foreign material, on its surface.

Do not attempt to shape twisted, warped, bowed or “in wind” stock unless one edge has been jointed
for guiding purposes prior to shaping.

31. Do not attempt to shape long or wide boards uns upported where spring or weight could cause the

board to shift position.

32. Always use safety devices for all operations where they can be used.

33. Be sure to check the direction of spindle rotation before use.

34. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove c hips or debris — do

not us e your hands.

35. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.

36. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it

comes to a complete stop.

37. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.

Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices 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 precautions are not heeded, it may result in serious injury or possibly

even death.

Warning

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 (Figure A). 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.

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 provides a "distance" guard for the
operator.

Cutter Clearance – With the power disconnected,
always rotate the spindle by hand with any new
set-up to ensure proper clearance with the cutters.
At the same time, check to be sure the cutterhead
is turning in t he correct direction.

Stock feed – Feed stock opposite to the direction
of the cutter rotation (Figure B). Never back stock
out of the cutter once the c ut has been started.
Instead, pull the stock straight out away from
cutter and begin the cut again.

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

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.

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

Cutt er sele ction – 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 t he 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.

Cleaning

Exposed metal surfaces, such as the table top and
extension wings, have been given a protective
coating at the factory. This should be removed with
a soft cloth moistened with kerosene. Do not use
acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this
purpose. Do not use solvents on plastic parts, and
do not use an abrasive pad because it may scratch
the surfaces.

Assembly

Mounting the Fence

Referring to Figure 2:

1. Place the fence assembly (A) on the table (B),

lining up the four mounting holes (C) on the
bracket with the threaded holes (D) on the rear
of the table above the dust port (E).

2. Hand fasten with four each M10 hex socket

cap screws (F) and M10 lock washers (G). Do
not tighten at this time.

3. Place two M13 flat washers (H) on two lock

handles (J). Insert the lock handles through
slots (K) on each side of the base. Partially
thread the lock handles (J) into two mounting
holes (L) on the table. Do not tighten at this

time.

4. Turn the adjust knob on the bracket to position

the fence all the way to the rear.

5. Tighten the lock handles (J) sufficiently to

prevent the fence from movement.

Figure 2

Electrical Connections

Electrical connections must be

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

General Information

A power plug is not provided with the Model 2700.
You may either connect the proper UL/CSA listed
plug or “hardwire” the machine directly to your
electrical panel provided there is a disconnect near
the machine for the operator. Consult electrical
drawings on pages 47-48 for further clarification of
wiring setup.

9

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

Make sure the voltage of your power supply
matches the specifications on t he motor plate of the
machine.

The PM2700 Shaper should be connected to a
dedicated circuit, and protected by a circuit breaker
or time delay f use, with minimum amp ratings as
shown in Table 1. Local codes take precedence

over recommendations.

Voltage Conversion (3 Phase Shaper only)

On the 3 phase model, to convert from 230V to
460V, replace the 230V switch with the 460V
switch (not included, order part no. PM2700-114C),
and re-wire the incoming leads to the motor as
shown on the diagram inside the cover of the motor
junction box. A similar diagram is also included in
the back of this manual. (Figure 3 shows a
summary of the lead changes for 230V to 460V
conversion.)

Extension Cords

The use of extension cords is discouraged. Try to
position equipment within reach of the power
source. If an extension cord becomes necessary,
make sure the cord rating is suitable for the
amperage listed on the machine's motor plate. An
unders ize cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.

The chart in Table 2 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 cord.

G – Lock Knob – loosening permits

backward/forward adjustment of guard (H)

Handwheel Adjustments

Referring to Figure 5:

The front handwheel (B) controls the spindle
heig ht.

The side handwheel (C) controls the casters. The
Model 2700 has a retractable caster system that
can be extended to permit the shaper to be rolled
from one location to another.

Spindle height

1. Loosen the lock knob (B) on t he spindle height
adjust handwheel (A).

2. Turn the handwheel (A) clockwise to raise and
counterclockwise to lower the spindle.

3. Tighten the lock knob (B).

Ca ster system adju stment

Retractable casters can be extended permitting the
shaper to be moved as follows:

1. Turn the handwheel (C) clockwise to extend
the casters, raising the shaper.

Note: Because of the weight of the machine,
both hands may be needed to turn the
handwheel. Raise the shaper just enough to
permit moving to another location.

When the shaper has been repositioned:

2. Retract the casters by turning the hand-

wheel (C) counterclockwise.

Coplanar Alignment

Follow steps 1–5 to determine if alignment is
necessary. Steps 6–9 will guide you through the
alignment if required.

Verifying that fences are coplanar

1. Remove the guard and spindle attachment.

2. Adjust the fence assembly (A) so it is
positioned approximately at midpoint and lock
(B).

3. Place a straightedge (F) on the table pressed
against the infeed (E1) and outfeed fences (E2).

4. Unlock the fence lock knobs (D1, D2).

5. With t he ram adjust dials (C1, C2) adjust the
position of either fence as required to bring
both fences in-line (coplanar alignment) using
the straightedge as the point of reference.

No adjustment is required if both fences are flush
with the straightedge as shown in Figure 7. Pro-

cede to Ram Dial Calibration (step 00).

Adjustment is required if the fences appear
skewed (Figure 8). Continue with Coplanar Adjust-

ment (following steps).

Coplanar Adjustment

Determine which fence is skewed (in t his example:
G1, Fig. 8), which will require adjustment while the
remaining fence (G2) will serve as the reference
point.

6. Remove both fences and place t he straight­edge against the infeed and outfeed fence
castings (Figure 9).

7. Lock the reference fence (D2) and unlock the
skewed fence (D1).

Read step 8 completely before attempting.

Figure 6

Figure 7

Figure 8

Figure 9

Figure 10

8. Maintain steady pressure of the straightedge
against the fence castings (H, Fig. 9). At the
same time, attempt to bring both fences into
alignment as shown in Figure 10. This is
accomplished by alternately making incremen­tal adjustments to four setscrews (L, Fig. 11)
on the front face of the casting (K, Fig. 11) with
a 2mm hex wrench, followed by repositioning
the casting with the micro adjust dial (J, Fig.

11) as required.

Important: It is recommended that the
adjustment setscrews (K, Fig. 11) be rotated in
1/16th increments or less at a time.

Alignment is complete when the skewed and
reference fence castings are coplanar (in-line) as
shown in Figure 10.

9. Replace both fences and secure.

Figure 11

12

Ram Dial Calibration

The guard and spindle should be removed.

Referring to Figure 12:

1. Loosen the infeed fence lock knob (E), then
turn the infeed ram dial (D) counterclockwise to
bring the infeed fence (F) back all the way until
the limiter setscrew (P) touches the head
casting (M). Then retighten the lock knob (E).

2. If necessary, loosen two setscrews on the
infeed ram dial (D) with a 2mm hex wrench and
align the zero on the dial with the indicator
mark. Then tighten the setscrews.

3. Next, loosen the outfeed fence lock knob (B)
and turn the outfeed ram dial (A) counter­clockwise to bring the outfeed fence (C) all the
way back.

4. Place a straightedge (G) on the table against
both fences.

If both fences are flush with the straightedge (K)
and the outfeed ram dial (A) indicates zero, no

further action is necessary.

If alignment is necessary (J):

5. Slide the outfeed fence (C) aside to reveal the
limiting setscrew (P) on the fence casting (N).

6. Loosen the hex locking nut (O) with a 10mm
wrench and back out the limiting setscrew (P)
with a 3mm hex wrench to permit a sufficient
backward and forward adjustment range for the
outfeed fence (C).

7. Slide the outfeed fence (C) back onto the
casting and secure.

8. Loosen the outfeed fence lock knob (B).

9. While maintaining pressure (H) on the
straightedge (G) against the fences (C, F),
adjust the outfeed ram dial (A) unti l bot h fences

are in-line (K).

After proper alignment is made:

10. Slide the outfeed fence (C) aside again.

11. Turn the limiting setscrew (P) in (t ur n cw) until
it comes in contact with the head casting (M)

12. Tighten the hex locking nut (O) with a 10mm
wrench while maintaining the setscrew position
with the 3mm hex wrench.

13. Replace the outfeed fence and secure.

Spindle Gib Adjustment

Referring to Figure 13:
The spindle housing gib on your machine is factory

adjusted and initially should not require readjust­ment. After a period of use the gib may wear and
become loose, introducing play and potentially
causing the spindle (A) to vibrate. This requires
adjustment.

To adjust (refer to Figure 13):

1. With a 12mm wrench, loosen four jam nuts (B)
that secure the gib setscrews (C).

2. With a 4mm hex wrench, tighten eac h setscrew
1/8 or less tur n starting with the lowest one,
followed by the uppermost one, then the two
middle setscrews.

If this is not enough to remove the table play,
repeat this step until the play is removed.

Note: If the gibs are too tight the front handwheel
(A, Fig. 3) that controls the spindle height will be
difficult to turn.

3. When adjustment is complete, hold the set-
screws (C) in position with the 4mm hex
wrench to maintain the setting while tightening
the jam nuts (B) with the 12mm wrench.

Precision Miter Gauge

Setting the miter gauge angle

Referring to Figure 19:

The precision miter gauge has a rack and pinion
adjustment for setting the angle. To operate:

1. Slide t he miter gauge into one of the slots on
the table top.

2. Loosen lock handle (A).

To adjust the body (B) of t he miter gauge to the
desired angle:

3. Pull the spring-loaded knob (C) out and turn
until the body (B) of the miter gauge is at the
desired angle as indicated on the scale.

4. Tighten the lock handle (A).

Indent settings

There are indents at the 0º, 30º and 45º right and
left positions. At these settings, release t he

knob (C) to engage the stop rod. Then tighten the
lock handle (A).

Note: Do not rely solely on the indents for an
accurate setting. After the stop rod engages at the
0º, 30º and 45º positions, make a fine adjustment
with the knob (C), if necessary, setting it against
the scale indicator.

Extension plate

The extension plate (D) can be adjusted by sliding
to the right or left or removed entirely.

To adjust – loosen two lock handles (E), position
the extension plate and tighten the lock handles.

Figure 19

To remove – slide the extension plate completely
off and remove the lock handles (E) and mounting
hardware.

Calibrating the miter gauge

1. Place the miter gauge in one of the slots (H) on
the table top.

2. Set the miter gauge to 90º (0º setting on the
scale) by loosening the lock handle (A), then
pulling the spring-loaded knob (C) out and

turning the body (B) until 0º is indicated on t he
scale (F).

3. Measure the accuracy of the gauge against the
slot with a combination square.

If adjustment is necessary:

4. Adjust the body (B) until it is perfectly square
(90º) to the miter slot (H).

5. Tighte n the lock handle ( A) .

Verify that the scale indicator (G) reads 0º. If further
adjustment is necessary:

6. Loosen the screw (F) and adjust the
indicator (G) until it reads 0º

7. Tighten the screw (F).

The miter gauge should fit snugly within the miter
slot while still sliding easily. The bar of the miter
gauge has two slots, eac h with a set screw. Rotate
one or both of these set screws with a hex wrench
as needed to eliminate any play between the miter
gauge bar and miter slot.

Operating Controls

Start/Stop

Power Indicator Light – The start switch has a

power indicator lamp which is on whenever
there is power connected to the shaper, not

just when the shaper is running. Do not assume
that no light means there is no power to the
machine. If the bulb is bad, there will be no

indication. Always check before use.

magnetic, the lock can be removed to make the
machine inoperable and can be hidden for safe
storage by attaching it underneath the rail or
another magnetic surface.

When using the s haper, place the key on the
switch cover lining up the arrow on the key with
the REMOVE arrow on the cover. Then rotate
the key so t he arrow lines up with the LOCK
arrow. This will prevent the safety key from
coming loose from vibration w hen the machine
is in use.

Do not rely that no light
means no power to the machine. Always
check for power first. Failure to comply may
cause serious injury!

Referring to Figure 20:

Start – Press the green start switch (see Note).

When power is connected to the machine, the
green light is always on regardless of whether
the shaper is running or not.

Note: In addition, the switch on the digital
readout must be set to forward (or reverse) and

the cabinet door must be closed.

Stop – Press the red switch to stop.

Reset – In the event that the shaper stops

without pressing the stop button, as the result of
a tripped fuse or circuit breaker, etc.:

1. Press red button to reset

2. Press the green button to restart the

machine.

Digital Readout

The digital readout (Figure 21) is used for
making incremental spindle height adjustments
where applicable, if multiple shaping/cutting
passes are to be performed on a given work­piece.

Set the digital readout as follows:

1. Set the desired spindle height for the
workpiece to be cut.

2. Supply power to the machine so the digital
display is lit.

3. Select inch or mm by momentarily
depressing the button on the right.

4. Press the 0" SET button for approximately
two seconds.

The digital display resets to zero, which is your
reference point. When the spindle is raised or
lowered (front handwheel), the change is relative
to this reference.

Figure 20

Safety Key

The start/stop switch on the Model 2700 comes
equipped with a magnetic safety key. When in
place on the switch as shown in Figure 20 the
magnetic safety key trips a relay which will allow
the machine to start and stop when the
respective switches are pressed. Being

If this feature is used, the display should be
reset to zero for each new cutting operation.

Operations

Overview

Before applying power to the machine, Check the
motor and switch wiring diagrams for proper
voltage connections. Check that all mounting
screws and bolts are tight.

Turn on the motor 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
ensure that the moving parts are working properly
with no excessive vibration. If a problem develops,
correct it before turning the s haper over for general
use.

Safety Devices

Safety devices such as guards, fixtures, templates
hold-downs, push sticks (Figure 22), feather
boards and power feeders should be used
whenever possible. Figure 22 s hows a push stick
which can be easily made from scrap wood.

Note: 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.

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.
Preband shaper the stock whenever possible to
1/16 inch of finished size. When an edge finish is
unsatisfactory, take two or more cuts with the final
cut no more than 1/16 inch 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 inch oversize
in width, shape the board, and simply trim off the
excess.

Cutter Rotation

Counterclockwise Setup – With the cutter installed
as shown in Figure 23, feed the workpiece from

right to left.

Grain Direction Considerations

Plan to shape the workpiece 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 w hen cut against
the grain.

Figure 22

Figure 23

Clockwise Setup – With the cutter installed as
shown in Figure 24, feed the workpiece from left to
right.

Figure 24

20

Using the Fence

Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory
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 portion 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 straight
line as shown in Figure 25.

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 bot h fences are in line,
Figure 26. In this case, the stock should be
advanced to t he position shown in Figure 26 and
stopped. Turn off the machine and move the
outfeed fence forward to contact the workpiece,
Figure 27. Remove the workpiece, start the motor,
and then continue the operation.

Always remove workpiece

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

Figure 25

Figure 26

Figure 27

21

"Z" Dimension

Before making a template (or us ing 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 the difference between the innermost
part of the cutter edge and the outside diameter of
the ball bearing follower (collar). See Figure 28.

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

The "Z" dimension is positive if the cutter is larger
than the collar bearing.

The "Z" dimension is negative if the cutter is
smaller than the collar bearing.

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 (see Figure 29).

Figure 28

Straight Edge Shaping

Straight edge shaping is always performed with the
workpiece against the fence. Use only push sticks
and hold downs to keep the workpiece on position.

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 serious injury!

To set up:

1. Disconnect or unplug the machine from its

power source.

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. Lock the spindle.

5. Install all necessary guards.

6. Reconnect power to the machine.

7. Take a trial cut on a piece of scrap the same

thickness as workpiece.

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

Figure 29

22

Edge Shaping

When edge shaping, 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 30.

When edge shaping, the work-

piece must be at least 12 inches long unless a
special guide is used.

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

Figure 30 to firmly hold the workpiece down
and against the fence. If workpiece 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.

Important: The rate of feed depends on depth of
cut and experience 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 the one shown in Figure 31
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.

Figure 30

Figure 31

Shap ing All Sides

Because cross grain shaping is more likely to
create chipping out and 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 32.

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 33.

Note: Be sure the screw holes are countersunk in
the special fence to avoid interference with the
workpiece.

Figure 32

Figure 33

23

Straight Line Bevel Shaping

To shape a beveled straight edge, use a bevel­edge shaping jig in combination with the regular
fence as shown in Figure 34.

Figure 34

To perform a bevel-edge cut, the in-feed edge of
the jig is placed against the infeed fence and
clamped to the table as shown in Figure 35. 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 t he workpiece and limit the
depth-of-cut, the operator must use an anti-friction
collar with the cutter(s) as shown in Figure 36.

Figure 36

The collar may be positioned above or below the
cutter(s), and its function is to ride against t he
workpiece or template. At the same time, the collar
will establis h the depth-of-cut as shown in
Figure 37. Whenever possible, always use the ring
guard or safety collar.

Figure 35

Never attempt to bevel cut free
hand. Always use a bevel-edge fixture.

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

surface edge to ride against, the entire edge cannot
be shaped as shown in Figure 38. The added use
of a pattern, however, permits the shaping of the
entire contour edge.

Figure 37

Figure 38

24

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 39. 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 held firmly against
it.

When the workpiece is not contoured all around,
start the cut as shown in Figure 45. With this
operation, the workpiece is positioned against the
starter pin and the end swung into place to start
the cut. When the cut has begun and the
workpiece firmly against the collar, swing the stock
away from the pin and proceed with cut.

Freehand shaping is extremely
dangerous. The operator must be aware at all
times of the proximity of his hands to the
cutter. Hands must never come closer than 12
inches to the cutter without the proper guard or
similar safety device over the cutterhead.

Shaping With Collars

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

Figure 39

Figure 40

The collar must have sufficient bearing surface, as
shown in Figure 40. Also, the stock must be fairly
heavy in proportion to the cut being made. Under
no circumstances should a short, light workpiece
be shaped against the collars, as in Figure 41.

Note: The edge of the work to be shaped must be
smooth. Any irregularity on the surface which rides
against the collar will be duplicated on the 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 42, the progress of the cut can
be seen throughout the operation. However,
any accidental lifting of the work will gouge the
wood and ruin the workpiece.

2. When the collar is used above the c utter, as

shown in Figure 43, the cut cannot be seen.
But this method offers 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 go uge the workpiece;
simply repeat the operation to correct the
mistake.

Figure 41

Figure 42

Figure 43

25

3. Using the collar between the two cutters has

the advantages and disadvantages of the first
two procedures, and is frequently used where
both edges of t he work are to be molded,
Figure 44.

Note: It is advisable to place the cutter as low as
possible on the spindle to reduce spindle deflection
and ensure the best possible finish. Also make
sure that the contacting surfaces 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. Failure to comply may result in serious
injury.

The starting pin is used to support the work when
starting the cut.

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

(Figure 45), using the starting pin as a support

2. Swing t he work into the cutter as show n in the

position 2. The work is now supported 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 46). Always feed
against the cutterhead rotation.

Figure 44

Figure 45

Figure 46

26

Arcs and Circles

Large circular and arc-shaped stock can be
shaped as described in Contour Edge Shaping on

page 24. However, smaller sized stock requires the
use of special shaping jigs similar to those shown
in Figure 47.

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 t he arc and circle shapes t hat
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 exactly t he workpiece cur ve. At all times
keep the workpiece firmly in contact with the jig
while the cutter is cutting the stock.

Never perform this type

operation without a ring guard, safety collar or
similar safety device 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 48.

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

Figure 47

Position the 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).

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

With a firm grip, ease the edge into the cutter(s)
until stopped by the collar as shown in Figure 48.

Continue to push straight in w hile feeding and
turning the workpiece at the same time until the cut
is finished. Turn off the motor and do not remove
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 opening is smaller, in any direction,
than twice the diameter of the cutter(s).

Figure 48

27

Templates

The template must be thick enough to provide a
solid bearing edge against a collar. When
constructing a template similar to the one shown in
Figure 49, keep in mind that it serves only as a
guide for the cutter.

If the workpiece requires all-around shaping, the
template can be constructed from several sections
pieced together as shown in Figure 50.

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 constructio n
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 ca n
be securely held to the template with "C" clamps
as shown in Figure 51.

Figure 49

Figure 50

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 work-piece through the cut
as shown in Figure 52.

Figure 51

Figure 52

28

Special Cuts

The illustrations in this section show the profile, or
section, views made by the cutter(s). The most
efficient cutters are carbide tipped to ensure clea n
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

A variety of interesting and timesaving 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 parts are clean, free
of nicks and flaws, and perfectly balanced in the
stacked position.

Sash and Door Shaping

Shaping a door requires two operations.

Figure 53 shows the sash cut for the first
operation.

Figure 54 shows the stock flipped over and the
sash cutter used with a 1/4 inch groove cutter to
complete the cut.

Figure 55 shows the first shaping cut with t he sash
cutter for the matching door stile sash.

Figure 56 shows t he same cut with the stock
flipped over.

Figure 57 shows the first shaping cut for a window
sash stile utilizing a sash cutter, collar, and a 1/2
inch groove cutter.

Figure 53

Figure 54

Figure 58 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
buttonhead screw.

Butt Joints

All butt-type joints req uire 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 adjusted for a depth of cut (Figure 59).

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 is fed top-side up; the ot her 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 inch
depth of-cut with no reduction in stock width. With
this joint, however, both work-pieces are fed with
the same side up as shown in Figure 60.

Drop Leaf Joint

When shaping a drop-leaf joint as shown in
Figure 61, the leaf workpiece is shaped with a
Drop-Leaf Bead cutter; the table workpiece is
shaped with a Drop-Leaf Cove cutter.

Figure 58

Figure 59

Figure 60

With this type joint, the w hole edge of both
workpieces is shaped, same-side up, and
allowance made for a 1/16 inch reduction in width.
Adjust the in-feed fence to reduce the workpiece
width by 1/16 inch, 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 62.

Start the cut by holding the stock against the
infeed fence and swinging it into contact with the
outfeed fence just past the cutterhead. As the cut
is started, transfer pressure to hold 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 (parallel cut) and the final depth-of-cut
to remain true with the taper.

Figure 61

Figure 62

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.

30

Tenoning

The tenoning fixture illustrated in Figure 63 shows
a miter gauge equipped with a hold-down for
shaping the ends of narrow work-pieces.

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 64.

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 65.
