Additional Safety for Shapers
Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutter.
Cutters or other parts improperly secured to spindle can fly off and strike nearby operators with
great force. Flying debris can cause eye injuries or blindness. To minimize risk of getting hurt or
killed, anyone operating shaper MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
SAFETY
AVOIDING CUTTER CONTACT: Keep unused por-
tion of cutter below table. Use smallest table
insert possible. Adjust fences and guards as
close as practical to cutter, or use a zeroclearance fence or box guard. Always keep
some type of guard or other protective device
between your hands and cutter at all times!
PROTECT HANDS/FINGERS: While feeding work-
piece, avoid awkward hand positions. Never
pass hands directly over or in front of cutter. As
one hand approaches a 6-inch radius point from
cutter, move it in an arc motion away from cutter, and reposition it on the outfeed side.
FEEDING WORKPIECE: To reduce risk of acciden-
tal cutterhead contact, always use push blocks
or some type of fixture, jig, or hold-down
device to safely feed workpiece while cutting.
Use an outfeed support table if shaping long
workpieces to ensure proper support throughout entire cutting procedure. ALWAYS feed
workpiece AGAINST rotation of cutter. NEVER
start shaper with workpiece contacting cutter!
CUTTING DEPTH: Never attempt to remove too
much material in one pass. Doing this increases
risk of workpiece kickback. Instead, make several light passes—this is a safer way to cut and
it leaves a cleaner finish.
WORKPIECE CONDITION: Shaping a workpiece
with knots, holes, or foreign objects increases
risk of kickback and cutter damage/breakage.
Thoroughly inspect and prepare workpiece
before shaping. Always “square up” a workpiece before shaping or flatten workpiece
edges with a jointer or planer. Rough, warped,
or wet workpieces increase risk of kickback.
CUTTER POSITIONING: Whenever possible, make
shaping cuts with cutter on underside of work-
piece to reduce operator exposure to cutter.
SMALL WORKPIECES: There is a high risk of acci-
because they are closer to cutter and more dif-
that allow your hands to maintain a safe distance from cutter. When possible, shape longer
stock and cut to size.
SAFE CUTTER CLEARANCES:
bystanders may be hit by flying debris if cut-
startup. Always ensure any new cutter setup
has proper cutter rotational clearance—before
starting shaper or reconnecting it to power.
SAFE CUTTER INSTALLATION: Improperly secured
an RPM lower than spindle speed.
AVOIDING CLIMB CUTS: Feeding workpiece in
ify direction of cutter rotation before starting,
and always feed workpiece AGAINST cutter
rotation.
CONTOUR SHAPING: To reduce risk of uninten-
SAFETY GUARDS. To reduce risk of unintentional
contact with cutter, always ensure included

guard, or some other type of guard is installed
and correctly positioned before operation.

OPERATIONS
This machine will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed
incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties performing any
operation, stop using the machine!
The overview below provides the novice machine operator
with a basic understanding of how the machine is used
during operation, so the machine controls/components
discussed later in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to its generic nature, this overview is
to be an instructional guide.
General
Model W1763W (For Machines Mfd. Since 09/16)
To reduce your risk of serious injury
or damage to the machine, read this
entire manual BEFORE using machine.

does the following:
1. Examines workpiece to make sure it is suitable for
shaping.
2. Chooses, installs, and adjusts shaper cutter or router
bit to desired height; adjusts fence to desired position
OPERATIONS
then locks it in place.
3. Checks outfeed side of machine for proper fence
support and to make sure workpiece can safely pass
through cutter/bit without interference.
4. Removes any clothing, apparel, or jewelry that may
become entangled in shaper; puts on safety glasses,
respirator, and hearing protection.
5. Turns machine ON.
6. Verifies cutter rotation and feed direction.
7. Feeds workpiece through the cut while maintaining
firm workpiece pressure against both table and fence,
while always keeping hands and fingers out of the cutting path.
To reduce the risk of eye injury and
long-term respiratory damage, always
wear safety glasses and a respirator
while operating this machine.
If you are not experienced with this type
of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
that you seek additional training outside

Stock Inspection &
Requirements
Here are some rules to follow when choosing and
shaping stock:
• DO NOT shape stock that contains large or loose
knots. Injury to the operator or damage to the
workpiece can occur if the knots become dislodged
during the cutting operation.
• Avoid shaping against the grain direction. Cutting
against the grain increases the likelihood of stock
kickback, as well as tear-out on the workpiece.
• Shaping with the grain produces a better finish and is safer for the operator. Cutting with the grain
is described as feeding the stock so the grain points
down and toward you as viewed on the edge of the
stock.
• Remove foreign objects from the stock. Make sure
that any stock you process is clean and free of any
dirt, nails, staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign
objects that may damage the cutter, or create a
fire hazard if sparks are created. Wood stacked on a
concrete floor may contain small pieces of stone or
concrete and should be removed before shaping.
Turn machine OFF and allow cutter
to come to a complete stop before
making cutter adjustments. Failure
to follow this warning could result in
serious personal injury.
Projectiles thrown from the machine
could cause serious eye injury. Wear
safety glasses during operation!
OPERATIONS
• Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before
shaping. Wood with a moisture content over 20% will
cause unnecessary wear on cutter and produce poor
cutting results.
• Avoid stock with excessive warping: Workpieces
with excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are
dangerous to cut because they are unstable and
can move in unpredictable ways when being cut.
A workpiece supported on the bowed side will
rock during a cut and could cause kickback or
severe injury. DO NOT use workpieces with these
characteristics!
• Choosing your material type: This machine is
intended for cutting natural and man-made wood
products, laminate covered wood products, and
some plastics. Cutting drywall or cementitious
backer board creates extremely fine dust and may
reduce the life of the bearings. This machine is
NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.;
cutting these materials with a table saw may lead to
injury.

Controls
Motor Operation (Figure 21)
The STOP switch features a reset mechanism that disables
the START switch until reset. To reset the STOP switch,
twist it clockwise until it pops out. The START switch is
now enabled, and when pushed, will start the motor.
Spindle Direction (Figure 21)
The spindle direction switch features three selections:
The "0" selection is neutral. The "L" selection rotates the
spindle counterclockwise. The "R" selection rotates the
spindle clockwise. ALWAYS STOP THE MACHINE BEFORE
CHANGING DIRECTIONS.
Most operations are done with the switch in the "L"
position. It is very important that the workpiece be
fed against the direction of the cutter rotation. This
will prevent a climb cut and maintains a safe cutting
procedure for the operator. However, there will be times
when it is necessary to flip the shaper cutter over and
run the spindle in the opposite direction.
Fence Positioning (Figures 22–23)
The carriage lock knob secures the fence alignment for
operations or loosens the fence for adjustments. The
fence offset knobs allows you to align or offset the two
fences, depending on the required operation. The fence lock knobs allow you to adjust the fence distance from
the cutter.
OPERATIONS
The fence channel allows you to move the fence laterally,
according to cutter size. To move the fence laterally,
loosen the screws securing the fence to the carriage, shift
the fence left or right, and retighten the screws.

Cutter Guard Positioning (Figure 22)
The cutter guard protects the user from chips thrown
by the cutter. To minimize the risk of injury, it should
be adjusted so it just clears the top of the workpiece.
To position the guard, unscrew the cap screw locking
the guard to the support arm and slide the guard in or
out. Raise or lower the guard by turning the cutter guard
knob to allow the guard to move up or down. Tighten the
tension knob to secure the setting.
Spindle Height (Figure 24)
The spindle height handwheel moves the spindle up and
down to position the cutter relative to the workpiece. The
spindle height scale shows the cutter elevation above the
table. The spindle lock secures the spindle in place.

Fence Positioning
Each side of the fence is independently adjustable to
allow for different shaping tasks. The fence faces can be
offset to remove the entire edge of a workpiece, or they
can be aligned to shape part of the workpiece edge.
Additionally, the fence sides can be moved toward and
away from the cutter to minimize the gap between the
cutter and the fence. Keeping this gap as small as possible
will help minimize the risk of injury during shaping
operations.
To adjust fence positioning, do these steps:
1. Loosen both carriage lock knobs and move fence
carriage forward or backward as needed in relation
to cutter (see Figure 25), then tighten lock knobs.
2. Loosen fence lock knob shown in Figure 25. Adjust
each fence forward or backward by turning fence
offset knob. Once fence is set in desired front-toback position, tighten fence lock knobs.

Ensure proper cutter clearance, then retighten bolts.
Fence Parallelism
For safe and accurate shaping, the fence boards must be
parallel with one another so that they properly support
the workpiece through the entire cutting operation.
Shims .................................................. As Needed
To make fence faces parallel, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Place a straightedge across both fence boards, as
shown in Figure 27, and use fence offset knob to
adjust fences so they are perfectly aligned with each
other.

Table Inser ts
Two table inserts are provided, allowing for three
different opening sizes to be achieved. Use the smallestsize opening for a cutter to reduce wood chips falling into
the machine. Using the smallest-size opening also covers
any unused portion of the bit below the surface of the
table, thus reducing the chance of operator injury.
The height of the largest insert can be adjusted to be
flush with the table. This is important to prevent the
table inserts from obstructing or shifting workpiece
movement while feeding.
Use a flat screwdriver and a straightedge to turn the
insert screws clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or
lower the insert until it is flush with the bottom of the
straightedge (see Figure 31).
Spindle Elevation
Correct spindle height is crucial to most shaping
applications. We recommend using a piece of test wood
to confirm the correct spindle height before cutting
expensive wood.
To set spindle height, do these steps:
1. Loosen spindle lock knob located on side of shaper (see Figure 32).
2. Rotate spindle height handwheel (see Figure 32)
clockwise to raise spindle or counterclockwise to
lower spindle.

RECOMMENDED
Cutter Installation
ACCIDENTAL START-UP HAZARD!
Always disconnect machine
before installing or removing any
cutting equipment. Performing
these procedures while machine
is connected to power greatly
increases risk of serious injury!
Rub collars are used when shaping curved or irregular
workpieces, such as arched doors or round table tops,
and to limit the depth of your cut. When using a solid
rub collar, do not use excessive pressure when running
your workpiece through the shaper. Otherwise, a groove
may burn into your pattern and be transferred to your
workpiece. Instead, take several passes, using light
pressure against the rub collar.
There are two types of rub collars—solid and ball-bearing.
Often, solid rub collars are used for straight cutting
operations, whereas ball-bearing collars are often used
for curved shaping operations. Having a variety of both
styles provides maximum flexibility for shaping projects.
For an extensive line of ball bearing rub collars as
upgrades, see Accessories on Page 41.
CUTTER FLY-APART HAZARD!
Using cutters rated at lower RPMs than
spindle speed greatly increases risk that
cutter will fly apart during operation,
which may cause very serious injury to
operator and bystanders.
OPERATIONS
Before installing cutters, you must plan the configuration
of rub collars and cutters required for the intended
application.
Use rub collars in any of the following positions:
•Rub collar below cutter: When rub collar is placed
below cutter (see Figure 36), cut progress can be
observed. However, any unintentional movement
may lift workpiece into cutter, damaging your work
and creating a dangerous situation. We DO NOT
recommend using a rub collar in this position.
•Rub collar above cutter: Cut cannot be seen during
operation when rub collar is above cutter (see
Figure37). However, this offers some advantage—
the cut is not affected by slight variations in
thickness and accidental lifting will not damage
workpiece. Simply correct any change in height by
repeating operation.

cutter.
Above

Page 32
Model W1763W (For Machines Mfd. Since 09/16)
•Rub collar between two cutters: Using a rub collar
between two cutters offers the distinct advantage of
performing two cuts at once or eliminating the need
to change cutters for two different operations (see
Figure38). Notice that part of your workpiece edge
remains uncut and rides along rub collar.
To install cutters and rub collars, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
Between

Router Bit Installation
The Model W1763W comes with 1⁄2" and 1⁄4" router bit
collets. The shaper operates at 7,000 RPM and 10,000
RPM. Typically, the faster speed is used when cutting with
router bits and the slower speed is used when cutting
with shaper cutters.
Always check rated speed of any router bit before
installing it. If spindle speed is faster than rated
speed of router bit, do not use that router bit. It may
fly apart during operation and cause serious injury to
operator or bystanders.

Partial Edge Removal
Always feed the wood against the rotation of the cutter as
shown in Figure 45. Another way to conceptualize this is
to always feed the wood into the cutter so that the cutter
is pushing against the direction of feed. Never feed wood
in the same direction as the cutter rotation. This is called
a “climb cut” and is extremely dangerous, as workpiece
can become uncontrollable and kick back.
Also, examine the grain on the side edge of the board.
Whenever possible, run the board so the shaper cutters
are cutting with the grain, as shown in Figure 45. This
will minimize the chance of tear out.
For partial edge removal, do these steps:
1. Loosen fence lock knob (see Figure 43).
2. Turn fence adjustment knob and adjust infeed fence
until workpiece contacts cutter at desired location.

4. Adjust outfeed fence so that it comes into alignment with infeed fence, as shown in Figure 45.
5. Now place a straightedge against both faces of
fence to check alignment. Once they are both in
alignment, make sure lock knob is tightened.
Perimeter Cutting
When a workpiece requires all sides to receive a shaped
profile, it is important to begin with the end grain sides
before cutting the long grain side. As a cutter approaches
the edge of end grain, a small amount of tear-out will
commonly occur. By running end grain edges first, the
tear-out is removed when long grain cuts are completed.
Completing cuts in multiple passes (when possible) rather
than one heavy cut, will often produce cleaner results and
can prolong cutter life.
OPERATIONS
NOT
RECOMMENDED
To cut an edge around workpiece perimeter, do these
steps:
1. Cut workpiece (sides 1 & 2) with end grain first (see
Figure 46).
2. Cut sides with grain (sides 3 & 4) last, or in
sequence, as shown in Figure 46.

Template Shaping
The use of templates allows identical parts to be cut
with speed and accuracy. Shaping with a pattern begins
by attaching a prefabricated template to the rough
workpiece. The edge of the template rides against a rub
collar on the spindle as the cutter cuts the matching
profile on the workpiece edge, as shown in Figure 47.
Always perform test cuts on scrap stock to ensure pattern
works as required.
Template Construction Tips:
•Use a material that will smoothly follow rub collar,
ball bearing or fence.
Template
Workpiece
Rub Collar
• Make sure that screws or clamps will not come into
contact with the cutter.
•Design the assembly so that cutting will occur
underneath the workpiece.
• Make handles for safety and control.
• Use materials that will move easily across the table
surface and rub collar.
•If fence carriage remains attached for cutting
operation, adjust built-in hold-down height to
ensure pattern assembly remains tight to work table
surface.
OPERATIONS
•Remember, there are tremendous cutting forces
involved. Fixtures must be solid and stable, and any
workpiece must be firmly secured.

CUTTER CONTACT HAZARD!
Cutting small or narrow workpieces
greatly increases the risk of cutter
contact during operation. Use jigs or
holding devices when cutting to reduce
this risk.
-34-
Page 37
Model W1763W (For Machines Mfd. Since 09/16)
Freehand Shaping
Freehand shaping is shaping without the aid of the
miter slot or fence. The most dangerous part of shaping
freehand is beginning the cut, when the cutter first
contacts the workpiece. Often the workpiece will tend to
jerk or kick back, catching the operator off-guard.
To reduce kickback and maintain workpiece control when
freehand shaping, always use a starting pin (see Figure
48) or starting block (see Figure 50 on Page 36). The
pin/block allows you to maintain workpiece control by
anchoring and slowly pivoting the workpiece into the
cutter as the cut is started (see Figure 49).
To use starting pin, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove fence assembly from shaper.
ALWAYS use an auxiliary jig and extreme
care when free-hand shaping that
requires removal of the fence. Shaping
without the fence and the attached
guard greatly increases the risk of
accidental contact with the spinning
cutter, causing serious personal injury.
3. Insert starting pin in best-suited hole on table so
you can feed workpiece into and against rotation of
cutter.
4. Install cutter so it will cut in correct direction, and
adjust spindle height.
®
5. Use a supplemental hold-down jig like SHOP FOX
W1500 Right Angle Jig shown in Accessories
Section on Page 41, or use rubberized-handle push
blocks to support or guide workpiece and protect
your hands.
6. Place workpiece against starting pin.
7. Slowly pivot and feed workpiece into cutter. Avoid
starting cut on corner of workpiece as kickback
could occur. Once cut is started, workpiece should
be pulled away from starting pin.

Using Starting Block
Sometimes the starting pin will not be in the most
advantageous position. To remedy this situation, firmly
clamp a board in the desired position to act as a starting
block (see Figure50). Some type of pivot point must be
used.
The purpose of the starting block 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 in order to
avoid kickback or grain tear-out.
When using a solid rub collar, do not use excessive
pressure when running your workpiece through the
shaper. Otherwise, a groove may burn into your pattern
and be transferred to your workpiece. Instead, take
several passes, using lighter pressure against the rub
collar. If you find this to be a consistent problem, you
may consider using ball bearing rub collars instead of solid
collars. See Accessories on Page 41.

Zero-Clearance Fence
A shop-made zero-clearance fence (see Figure 51)
provides more support than a standard fence and reduces
tearout on narrow or fragile stock. Using a zero-clearance
fence is the best way to reduce the risk associated with
shaping inherently dangerous small stock.
To make a zero-clearance fence, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove fence faces and fasteners from fence
carriage assembly.
3. Place a 1" x 4" board over fence mounts, and mark
and drill four holes for securing board to mounts.
Note: Drilling holes is a two-step process. First, drill
holes through board with a diameter a little larger
than mounting screw shaft. Second, drill holes
halfway through board face with a diameter a little
larger than the screw head. Drill these second holes
deep enough to keep screw heads recessed below
board face.
4. Trace an outline of spindle, cutter, and related
components onto board, leaving room for moving
parts so they will not hit fence board.

7. Make sure fence mounts are aligned, and secure
board to fence mounts with fasteners removed in
Step 2.
Note: For a totally flat fence face, pass mounted
board across a jointer, taking care not to cut deep
enough that the cutter hits the mounting screws.
Refer to Resurfacing Fence on Page 46.

Hold-Down
The hold-down is used to hold the workpiece flat on
the work table and snug against the fence to allow for
consistent shaper cuts.
A hold-down DOES NOT replace standard safety features.
Always keep hands and entanglement hazards away from
the cutting area to avoid contact, and ensure proper
safety guards are in place during the cutting process.
Fence
Carriage Knob
(1 of 2)
To use hold-down, do these steps:
1. Ensure fence carriage is positioned properly for
cutting operation, and that both fence carriage lock
knobs are tightened (see Figure 52).
2. Loosen cap screw securing hold-down bracket to
support arm (see Figure 52), and slide hold-down
along arm to properly support workpiece; tighten
cap screw.
3. Loosen height knob to lower or raise hold-down to
proper height above workpiece (see Figure53).
Note:Workpiece should move freely beneath hold-
down, with little to no contact during full range of
operation.
4. Use a similar sized test piece to ensure hold-down is
properly aligned.

Featherboards
Featherboards work similarly to the hold-down provided
with the shaper in the way they hold stock tightly against
the fence and the table, while flexing with minor height
or width variations from stock as it passes through.
Because of the consistent pressure featherboards place on
the stock, cuts are more consistent, the risk of kickback
is greatly reduced, and the operator's hands do not need
to get near the cutter to maintain feeding pressure. If a
kickback does occur, featherboards will also slow down or
stop the workpiece.
A shop-made featherboard can be made to accommodate
sizes of stock that the included hold-down can't reach.
Figure 54 shows the dimensions of a basic featherboard.
The ultimate size is flexible and should be built around
the size of stock you are shaping. The fingers can be cut
with a bandsaw or table saw.

before and just after the cutter. An alternative mounting
method for tables is to rout a slot in the featherboard and
use T-slot mounting hardware to secure the featherboard
to the miter slot gauge (see Figure 55).

Push Sticks
When used correctly, push sticks reduce the risk of injury
by keeping hands away from the cutter. In the event
of an accident, a push stick can absorb damage that
would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers.
Use push sticks whenever your hands will get within 12"
of the cutter. To maintain control when shaping large
workpieces, start by feeding with your hands then use
push sticks to finish the operation, so your hands are not
on the end of the workpiece as it passes through the
cutter.
Feeding: Place the notched end of the push stick against
the end of the workpiece (see Figure 56), and move the
workpiece into the cutter with steady downward and
forward pressure.
Supporting: A second push stick can be used to keep the
workpiece firmly against the fence while cutting. When
using this method, only apply pressure before the cutter;
otherwise, pushing the workpiece against or behind the
cutter will increase the risk of kickback.

MAINTENANCE
General
For optimum performance from your machine, follow
this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific
instructions given in this section.
Ongoing (with each use)
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Vacuum all dust on and around the machine.
• Wipe down all unpainted cast-iron components.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check
• Belt tension, damage, or wear.
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabinet and
off motor.
Cleaning & Protecting
Cleaning the cast-iron table top is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up,
use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast-iron table by wiping it clean
after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust
does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep your table
rust-free with regular applications of quality lubricants.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be
replaced. Do not lubricate them.
MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance
procedures! If this warning is ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.
MAINTENANCE
The only parts on this machine that require periodic
lubrication is where the spindle cartridge rides on the
elevation housing (see Figure 58). Use a light grease
on the dovetail ways, while rotating spindle elevation
handwheel through its range of motion to distribute
grease. Lubrication depends on the amount you use the
shap e r.
Occasional application of light machine oil on moving
components may be necessary. Before applying lubricant,
clean off sawdust. Too much lubrication attracts dirt and
sawdust, resulting in poor component movement.

Tensioning/Replacing Belt
Over time, the belt can stretch and wear based upon
the workload applied, operating environment, and
storage conditions. As the machine is used over time,
the belts will slightly wear and stretch, eventually losing
their efficiency of transmitting power, until they can be
re-tensioned. Regularly check belt tension (deflection),
and belt wear to determine if belt needs to be replaced.

Pulley Alignment
Pulley alignment is important to the performance of your
shaper. If the pulleys are even slightly out of alignment,
the shaper may suffer from power loss and decreased
V-belt life. When the pulleys are coplaner—parallel and
aligned with each other—power transmission and belt life
are greatly increased.
2. Open the side and rear cabinet access covers and
visually check belt alignment while moving spindle
through its full range of vertical motion. If motor
pulley and spindle pulley are in proper alignment,
belt should never move higher or lower than upper
and lower limits of motor pulley.
—If belt does move higher or lower than upper or
lower limits of motor pulley, then motor pulley
must be adjusted.
3. Align motor pulley by loosening the four vertical
motor mount hex bolts (see Figure 62) and raising or
lowering motor into desired position.
4. Tighten hex bolts and re-check pulley alignment with
straightedge resting flat on top of motor pulley until
coplaner positioning is achieved.

Resurfacing Fence
The fence can be resurfaced or made flat with a jointer
to correct any warping. This procedure should only be
done if the fences will not align with each other after
careful adjustment or they are warped.
To resurface fence, do these steps:
1. Make sure fence face-mounting screws are far
enough below surface of fence that they will not
contact jointer knives during operation.
Note:New fence faces can easily be made out
of hardwood and resurfaced by using this same
procedure.
2. Align both fence faces as straight as possible using
a straightedge or your jointer table as an alignment
guide.
