Additional Safety for Planer/Moulders

READ and understand this
entire manual before using
this machine. Serious per­sonal injury may occur
if safety and operational
information is not under­stood and followed. DO
NOT risk your safety by
not reading!

REACHING INSIDE PLANER/MOULDER. Never

reach inside planer/moulder or remove covers
when the planer/moulder is connected to
po wer.

INFEED CLEARANCE SAFETY. The infeed roller is

designed to pull material into the cutterhead.
Always keep hands, clothing, and long hair
away from the infeed roller during operation
to prevent serious injury.

PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only plane natural

wood stock with this planer/moulder. DO
NOT plane MDF, plywood, laminates, or other
synthetic products.

WORKPIECE CLEARANCE. Always verify workpiece

has enough room to exit the planer before
starting.

REMOVING JAMMED WORKPIECES. To avoid

serious injury, always stop the planer/moulder
and disconnect power before removing
jammed workpieces.

DULL/DAMAGED CUTTERS. The planer/moulder

may kick out a workpiece at the operator or
give poor finish results if it is operated with
dull or damaged knives.

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

GRAIN DIRECTION. Cutting across or against the

grain is hard on the planer/moulder and may
increase the risk of workpiece kick out. Always
cut with the grain or at a slight angle with the
grain.

BODY POSITION WHILE OPERATING. The

workpiece may kick out during operation.
To avoid getting hit, stand to the side of the
planer/moulder during the entire operation.

KNIFE CLEARANCE. Before starting the machine,

always verify that the moulding knives do not
contact any part of the workpiece guide rails,
feed roller swing arm, or the table surface.

Failure to verify knife clearance may result
in severe injury and machine damage!

LOOKING INSIDE PLANER/MOULDER. Wood chips

fly around inside the planer/moulder at a
high rate of speed. DO NOT look inside the
machine or remove any guards or covers during
operation.

UNPLUGGING DURING ADJUSTMENTS. When

connected to power, the planer/moulder can
be accidentally turned ON. Always disconnect
power when servicing or adjusting machine
components.

This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full­load current drawn from the machine for an extended

Machine Placement

• Floor Load: This machine distributes a

heavy load in a small footprint. Some
residential floors may require additional
bracing to support both machine and
operator.

• Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your planer/moulder.

• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.

24"

Cleaning Machine

The table and other unpainted parts of your
planer/moulder are coated with a waxy grease
that protects them from corrosion during
shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent
cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use
chlorine-based solvents such as brake parts
cleaner or acetone—if you happen to splash
some onto a painted surface, you may ruin the
finish.

NEVER clean with gasoline
or other petroleum­based solvents. Most have
low flash points, which
make them extremely
flammable. A risk of
explosion and burning
exists if these products
are used. Serious personal
injury may occur if this
warning is ignored!

SETUP

361/4"

Figure 3. Minimum working clearances.

USE helpers or power
lifting equipment to
lift the planer/moulder.
Otherwise, serious per­sonal injury may occur.

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

ALWAYS work in well­ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing
of waste rags and
towels to be sure they
DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.

Lifting & Moving

The Model W1812 can be moved short distances if two
people lift the ends of the cast iron extension wings
and walk the machine to the new location. For ease of
mobility, the machine can be placed on a Shop Fox Model
D2057A Heavy Duty Mobile Base.

For long distance moving, we recommend using a forklift
or other mechanical lifting or moving device.

Mounting Options

Before beginning assembly, review the general mounting
options below, while keeping in mind your current and
future machine operation and storage needs. We generally
recommend that most machinery be fastened to the floor
to dampen vibration and provide maximum stability.
However, since floor materials vary, mounting hardware
is not included. Some machinery may find its way into
industrial shops or specialized settings where unique
mounting fasteners and electrical grounding requirements

SETUP

apply. Make sure to follow all necessary codes and
regulations when installing this machine.

W1812 Owner's Manual (Mfd. Since 02/11)

Figure 4. Lifting location.

Anchor Stud

Fastening to Floors

If you choose to physically fasten the machine to the
floor, do not install the included rubber feet. With the
Model W1812, the anchor studs or lag screws shown
in Figure 5 will pass through the four
reinforced holes (see Figure 6) that are for the rubber
feet.

Anchor studs are stronger and more permanent
alternatives to lag screws and anchors; however, anchor
studs will stick out of the floor, which may cause a
tripping hazard later if you decide to move your machine.
NEVER use air tools or excessively tighten the fasteners to
level or eliminate the machine from rocking on an uneven
floor. Doing so can bend or twist machine components
and damage the fasteners. Instead add shims between
the machine base and the floor to achieve stability and
alignment before tightening the fasteners by hand.

Assembly

The Model W1812 Planer/Moulder is shipped with an
off-the-shelf 48" Power Twist™ Link V-Belt. The planer/
moulder is designed for a 45" V-belt, so the included
V-belt must be modified before installing it.

To remove links, do the following:

1. Count 5 links away from the end of the belt, turn

the belt inside out and squeeze it together where
the 5th link connects, as shown in Figure 7.

2. Twist one of the tabs sideways, as shown in
Figure 8, and push it down through the two layers of
links.

Note: If you have difficulty twisting the tab, you

can use pliers, but take care not to over-twist the
tab or you could damage the belt.

3. Repeat Step 2 with the second tab on the link, but
only pulling that tab out of one layer. The section of
5 links are now removed from the belt.

including the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length
of hose between the dust collector and the machine, the
number of branches or Y's, and the amount of other open
lines throughout the system. Explaining this calculation
is beyond the scope of this manual. If you are unsure of
your system, consult an expert or purchase a good dust

Feed Roller Height &

Spring Tension

After switching between planing and molding operations,
you must re-adjust the feed roller height and spring
tension, so the workpiece is drawn through the planer/
moulder without chatter or slip. Rollers that are too high,
or have light spring tension can cause workpiece chatter
or slip. Feed rollers that are too low or have excessive
spring tension can make workpiece insertion into the
planer/moulder difficult, and prematurely wear the feed
roller shafts and bearings. The settings below are starting
points and some trial-and-error when adjusting will be
required.

To adjust the feed roller height and spring tension, do
these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all adjustment
procedures! If this warning is ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.

2. Loosen the lock nuts (see Figure 28) and rotate the

eccentric stops with a 5mm hex wrench until the
rollers are positioned as follows:

—For planing, lower the roller approximately 1mm

below the lowest sweep of the planing knife.

3

—For moulding, lower the roller approximately

below the highest point of the moulding knife
profile. Refer to Figure 29 to find the highest point
of the moulding knife profile when the knife is at
the lowest point of its sweep.

Workpiece Inspection

Before using this planer/moulder, inspect each and every
workpiece for the following problems, and be familiar
with the hardness of the wood.

• Each workpiece must have at least one flat surface to
slide along the planer/moulder table. To create a flat
surface, pass the workpiece over a jointer (see Figure

33). Defects such as twisting, loose knots or severe
cracks may make the stock unusable.

• When possible, square up stock before moulding.
Plane equal amounts on each side of the board to
reduce the chance of twisting or cupping.

• Recognize the workpiece density. Planing is more
difficult in hard species of wood and may require
several shallow cuts to reach the desired thickness.
Figure 34 lists the hardness of many common woods
based on shear strength.

Portion

Removed with

Jointer

Figure 33. Face joint the concave side of

before milling.

• Only use clean lumber. Scrape off all glue from joined
boards before processing. Remove all dirt, nails,
staples, imbedded gravel, etc. from any workpiece
you plan on using. Metal or gravel in a workpiece will
instantly damage the knives.

• Avoid processing a workpiece with a high moisture
content. Wood with more than 20% moisture, or wood
that has been exposed to rain or snow, will cut poorly
and cause unnecessary wear on the knives and motor.

• Process ONLY wooden workpieces. Never process
particle board, plywood, MDF, laminates, or other
synthetic materials.

• Feed wood in the same direction as the grain. Never
feed end-cut or end-grained lumber into the planer/
mo uld er.

ONLY cut wood with this machine! Cutting workpieces
that are made of or contain plastic, melamine,
metal, fiberglass, epoxy, resins, glues, or other non
wood materials can lead to machine damage or seri­ous personal injury!

Planing Do's & Don'ts

There are common mistakes that must be avoided when
planing.

Multiple Boards

Only plane one board at a time (see Figure 35). Whether
you use guide rails or not, never attempt to plane more
than one board at a time side-by-side. If one board is
slightly lower that the other, the feed roller will only
hold the highest board, while the lower board will be
free to slip when the knife contacts it. This hazardous
situation can result in one board being ejected from the
machine, causing serious injury.

W1812 Owner's Manual (Mfd. Since 02/11)

CORRECT

INCORRECT

Sacrificial Table Use

If using a sacrificial table, you must clamp it to the cast
iron table (see Figure 36) to prevent workpiece ejection.
Never stack two boards on top of one another and feed
them both into the planer/moulder to compensate for a
workpiece that may be too thin. Planing with two loose

OPERATIONS

stacked boards can result in workpiece ejection, causing
injury.

Planing Operation

The maximum cutting depth for soft wood at full
cutterhead width is no more than
keep in mind that the harder the wood, the shallower the
cutting depth and the slower the feed rate should be. A
series of light passes typically results in a smoother finish
with less snipe.

The basic steps for operating the machine as a planer
are as follows:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Review the Workpiece Inspection list on Page 23
and the AVOIDING KICKBACK warning on this page.

3. Review Planing Do's & Don'ts on Page 24, and take
the appropriate safety measures.

4. If you have not already done so, adjust the feed
rollers and spring tension as outlined in the Feed

Roller Height & Spring Tension section on Page 21.

5. Measure the workpiece thickness, loosen the
headstock lock lever, and use the handwheel (see
Figure 37) to adjust the headstock for a light pass.

6. Wearing gloves, manually rotate the cutterhead to

make sure that the knives do not contact the table
or guide rails if used.

1

⁄8" deep; however,

AVOIDING KICKBACK!

• Always stand to one side of the
machine—rather than behind the
workpiece.

• DO NOT plane more than one piece
at a time.

• Always plane WITH the grain
direction of the wood. Never plain
cross-grain or end-grain.

1

• DO NOT remove more than
material on each pass.

• Support the workpiece on both
ends. Get assistance if you are
planing long lumber, or use roller
stands to support the workpiece.

• Carefully inspect all stock to make
sure it is free of large knots or
foreign objects that may damage
your knives.

OPERATIONS

7. PUT ON SAFETY GLASSES, EAR PROTECTION, AND A
RESPIRATOR.

8. Tighten the headstock lock lever, start the machine,
and turn the feed speed control dial to a medium
speed.

9. Stand clear of the workpiece path, place the flat
side of the board down on the table, and slowly feed
the workpiece into the machine until the feed roller
begins to pull the workpiece.

10. For subsequent passes, adjust the headstock
height and feed rate as necessary until the desired
thickness and finish is achieved.

Note: To reduce snipe, use roller tables and feed

multiple pieces of stock butted up end-to-end, or
experiment with a lighter feed roller spring tension.
You can also try to raise one or both feed rollers up
slightly.

Moulding Do's & Don'ts

The Model W1812 will accommodate most moulding knife
profiles. However, you must still pay special attention to
workpiece support and knife-to-table clearance. Refer to
the following examples to avoid common workpiece setup
mistakes.

Moulding knives have many different profiles. Before
starting the machine, always verify that the mould­ing knives do not contact any part of the workpiece
guide rails, feed roller swing arm, or the table sur­face. Failure to verify knife clearance may result in
severe injury and machine damage!

table and a three-piece guide system (see Figure 38)
can prevent tool and table damage by absorbing the full
sweep of the knife.

Never attempt to use edge-forming profile knives without
pre-installing a wooden sacrificial table. Often these types
of knives sweep lower than the workpiece and could
contact the table at the bottom, as shown in Figure 38,
causing severe machine damage or personal injury.

Crown Moulding Support

When cutting crown moulding (see Figure 39), make a
wooden V-track that can be clamped to the table. The
V-track must support at least 50% of the workpiece height
on both sides.

Do not use the guide rails that came with your machine
for crown moulding support. If you do, the workpiece can
dislodge and be ejected from the machine, causing severe
injury or damage.

CORRECT

INCORRECT

Knife Positioning

When cutting harder woods, some moulding knife profiles
are prone to vibration that leave chatter marks on the
workpiece. To counteract this problem you can stabilize
the cut by installing the moulding knives closer to column
for the best support (see Figure 40).

Moulding knives have many different profiles. Before
starting the machine, always verify that the mould­ing knives do not contact any part of the workpiece
guide rails, feed roller swing arm, or the table sur­face. Failure to verify knife clearance may result in
severe injury and machine damage!

Size Workpiece Appropriately

Make sure to cut your workpiece to the correct width for
the knife being used (see Figure 41). To improve knife life
and workpiece results when cutting in very hard woods,
use a table saw to rabbet out some of the profile before
running the workpiece through the planer/moulder.

Never cut into moulding that is wider than the knife.
Otherwise, the knife will overheat, burn the wood, and
dull rapidly.

Always Use Guide Rails When Moulding

Make sure to use the guide rails (see Figure 42), so the
moulding profile can be cut with maximum safety and

Edge Moulding Tall Workpieces

When cutting edge profiles on workpieces that are taller
than they are wide, you must clamp wooden extension
rails to the table so they support at least 75% of the
workpiece height on both sides (see Figure 43).

Never attempt to use the low profile metal guide rails
that came with this machine if they do not adequately
support tall workpieces. If the workpiece slips out of the
rails because they are too low, the workpiece can be
ejected from the machine, causing severe injury.

Moulding Operation

The maximum depth of a moulding cut in soft wood is

3

⁄4". For hard or knotty wood the maximum depth of cut

must be less, and the feed rate may have to be reduced.
If both of these options are not enough, then a table saw
can be used to rabbet out some of the material that the
knives would of have had to remove. See Figure 41 for an
example of this.

The basic steps for a moulding operation are as follows:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

W1812 Owner's Manual (Mfd. Since 02/11)

AVOIDING KICKBACK!

• Always stand to one side of the
machine—rather than directly
behind the workpiece.

• Always check and reset outfeed
roller height after changing knives.

2. Review the Workpiece Inspection list on Page 23
and the AVOIDING KICKBACK warning on this page.

3. Review Moulding Do's & Don'ts on Page 26, and take

the appropriate safety measures.

4. Adjust the guide rails against the sides of the
workpiece it will be is directed into the planing
knives without binding, then tighten the rail lock
levers.

5. If you have not already done so, adjust the feed
rollers and spring tension as outlined in the Feed

Roller Height & Spring Tension section on Page 21.

6. Loosen the headstock lock lever, and use the

handwheel (see Figure 44) to adjust the headstock
down far enough to make a full pass.

OPERATIONS

7. Put on heavy leather gloves and rotate the
cutterhead manually to verify that the knives do not
contact the table or the guide rails.

8. PUT ON SAFETY GLASSES, EAR PROTECTION, AND A
RESPIRATOR.

9. Connect the machine to power.

• Always cut mouldings WITH the
grain direction. Never cut across
the grain or on the end-grain.

• Do not make a second pass after
cutting the initial profile. The first
pass has full roller-to-workpiece
contact, but on the second pass,
both the infeed and outfeed rollers
have minimum contact and the
workpiece may be ejected.

• Use roller stands to support long
workpieces.

• Carefully inspect all stock to make
sure it is free of large knots and
foreign objects.

10. Turn the feed speed control dial to a slow speed
and start the machine. Finding the best feed rate
will be a process of trial-and-error based on finding
a balance between the wood type, moulding knife
profile, and the quality of finish desired.

11. Stand to the side of the table, place the workpiece
on the table, and slowly feed it into the machine
until the feed roller begins to pull the workpiece.

MAINTENANCE

General

Regular maintenance on your machine will ensure its
optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your
machine each time you use it.

• Loose mounting bolts.

• Worn switch, damaged cords, and plugs.

• Damaged V-belt.

• Any other unsafe condition.

Cleaning

Frequently vacuum sawdust away from the internal
working parts of the machine and motor fan cover. Dust
build-up around the motor is a sure way to decrease its
lifespan.

Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the
internal parts with mineral spirits and a stiff brush.
Make sure the internal workings are dry and have been
re-lubricated before using the machine again. When using
mineral spirits and cleaners, do not allow them to contact
the viewing window or it may become etched and cloudy.
Remove the chip deflector, and use only warm water with
a mild dish soap to clean the window. Do not let water
come in contact with metal parts or rust may occur.

Cleaning Feed Motor

Every three months of daily use, remove the motor dust
cover (see Figure 50), and vacuum the carbon dust
buildup from inside of the motor. Under very heavy-use,
increase the cleaning interval. DO NOT blow motor out
with compressed air, as this may force contaminants into
bearings!

MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance
procedures! If this warning is ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.

Lubrication

Figures 51—53 show lubrication locations that need
attention every six months; however, under heavy use or
adverse working conditions, increase lubrication intervals
accordingly.

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated,
simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced.

To lubricate the machine, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Measure and record the distance each tensioner

protrudes from the top of the headstock.

3. Loosen the nuts and un-thread the tensioner
assemblies, one of which is shown in Figure 51.

4. Clean the tensioner assembly with mineral spirits,

apply a thin layer of light machine oil or motor oil,
and reinstall the tensioner to the previously recorded
height.

5. Place the nozzle under the chain housing, vacuum
out all dust, then brush a coat of light machine oil or
motor oil on the drive chains (see Figure 52).

6. Clean the column ways and leadscrew with mineral
spirits, and brush a coat of light machine oil or motor
oil on all cleaned locations (see Figure 53).

7. Apply a few drops of light machine oil or motor oil
onto the gib at the top, so the oil drains down inside
the gib seat, keeping the gib lubricated.

8. Apply a few drops of light machine oil or motor oil
onto the handwheel scale hub, and work the hub to
make sure that it draws the oil down inside.

Alignment

W1812 Owner's Manual (Mfd. Since 02/11)

The feed rollers must be aligned correctly with the table
to maintain a smooth and straight feed.

To check the feed roller-to-table alignment, do these
steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Pull the retaining pin out (see Figure 57), and set the

chip deflector aside.

3. Make the wooden gauge block shown in Figure 56.

4. Place the finished block on the table, directly under
one end of the infeed roller, as shown in Figure 57.

5. Lower the cutterhead housing so the infeed roller

barely touches the gauge block the lowest end of the
roller (see Figure 57).

6. Slide the block over to the other end of the roller.

7. Using a set of feeler gauges, measure the gap

between the roller and the block.

Drive Chain Adjustment

After long-term machine use, the rubber pad on the end
of the drive chain tensioner (see Figure 59) will wear.
The result is that the drive chain will become overly slack
and can jump its sprockets, causing damage. This situation
can be avoided by removing the excess chain slack.

When properly adjusted, keep in mind that the chain
should not be in tension like a V-belt, but rather it should
hang slightly with 3-5mm of hanging slack (see Figure

60), so the sprocket shafts are free floating with no chain

tension against them.

Chain Tensioner

Rubber Pad

To remove excess chain slack, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Raise the headstock until you have easy access to the

chain area.

3. Loosen the lock nut on the chain tensioner screw (see
Figure 61).

4. Use a 4mm hex wrench to adjust the tensioner until
there is 3-5mm of hanging slack in the chain (see
Figure 60).

5. Tighten the lock nut, and test the operation.

2. Clean and lubricate the column leadscrew, gib, and

ways.

3. Loosen the gib lock nuts shown in Figure 62.

4. Using a 4mm hex wrench, adjust the upper and lower

gib screws in an alternating fashion until a slight
