Warnings

1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly or operation.

2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with

all of these warnings may cause serious injury.

3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

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

you are not familiar with 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 this 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.

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

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 designed. 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 loose 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 unsupported 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 chips or debris — do

not use 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 the 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 cut 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.

Cutter selection – 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 the 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.

Main Shaper Container

Hardware

Figure 1

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.

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

PM2700. 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.

Figure 2

This machine must be

rounded. Groundin

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 the motor plate of the

machine.

The PM2700 Shaper should be connected to a

dedicated circuit, and protected by a circuit breaker

or time delay fuse, 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.) Note: In case of discrepancies, the

diagram in the motor junction box should take

precedence.

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

undersize 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.

backward/forward adjustment of guard (H)

Figure 4

Handwheel Adjustments

Referring to Figure 5:

The front handwheel (B) controls the spindle

height.

The side handwheel (C) controls the casters. The

Model PM2700 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 the 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).

Caster system adjustment

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.

Figure 5

Coplanar Alignmen

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 (E

) and outfeed fences (E

4. Unlock the fence lock knobs (D

, D

5. With the ram adjust dials (C

, C

) 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 this example:

, Fig. 8), which will require adjustment while the

remaining fence (G

) will serve as the reference

point.

6. Remove both fences and place the straight-

edge against the infeed and outfeed fence

castings (Figure 9).

7. Lock the reference fence (D

) and unlock the

skewed fence (D

Read step 8 completely before attempting.

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 incremen-

tal 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.

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) counter-

clockwise 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) until both 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 (turn 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.

14. Loosen the two set-screws (2mm hex wrench)

Spindle Gib Adjustment

Referring to Figure 13:

The spindle housing gib on your machine is factory

adjusted and initially should not require readjust-

ment. 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 each setscrew

1/8 or less turn 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.

Featherboard Hold-downs

Referring to Figure 14:

The PM2700 Shaper comes equipped with two

featherboard hold-downs (A, B) mounted on the

infeed and outfeed fences.

1. Loosen lock handles (C) and lock knobs (D).

2. Slide the hold-down guides to the desired

position along the fence and tighten the lock

handles (C).

3. Place the workpiece (E) on the table against

the fence and under the hold-down guide (A).

4. Adjust the featherboard stay to put moderate

pressure on the workpiece, then tighten the

lock knob (D).

Changing Cutter Speed

Referring to Figure 18:

The Model PM2700 Shaper is equipped with

pulleys that allow you to change the spindle speed.

The belt (B) placed on the upper pulleys (as shown

in Figure 16) provides 7,500 RPM spindle speed.

Placing the belt on the lower pulleys provides

10,000 RPM spindle speed.

To change speed (refer to Figure 16):

1. Disconnect the machine from the power

source.

2. Open the door of the cabinet.

3. Remove the belt tension by moving the belt

tension handle (A) to the unlock (left) position.

This allows the motor (E) to swivel on its

mounting hinge.

4. Move the drive belt (B) to the other set of

grooves (C).

5. Lock the belt tension handle (A), securing the

motor (E) and placing tension on the drive

belt (C).

Drive Belt Tension

Referring to Figure 18:

The drive belt should have sufficient tension to

prevent slippage when the machine is in operation.

If the tension on the belt needs adjustment:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power

source.

2. Open the door of the cabinet.

3. With a 17mm wrench, loosen the lock nut (G)

on the belt tension assembly (refer to inset for

loosening direction).

4. Adjust the hex bushing (F) with a 17mm

wrench (refer to inset for adjustment direction)

for proper tension on the belt (B). The tension

handle (A) must be in the locked position (right)

while performing this step.

Note: Two 17mm wrenches are required for the

next step.

5. Maintain the position of the hex bushing (F)

with one wrench while tightening the lock

nut (G) with the other.

Replace the drive belt (B) as follows:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power

source.

2. Open the door of the cabinet.

3. Remove the belt tension by moving the belt

tension handle (A) to the unlock (left) position.

This allows the motor (E) to swivel on its

mounting hinge.

4. Work the drive belt down all the way past the

pulleys.

5. Continue sliding the belt down on the left side

until it is free from the spindle (C), then remove

the belt over the top of the motor pulley (D).

6. Install the new belt by following these steps in

reverse.

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 the miter gauge into one of the slots on

the table top.

2. Loosen lock handle (A).

To adjust the body (B) of the 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 the

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.

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 the

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).

Figure 19

5. Tighten 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, each 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.

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.

Figure 20

Safety Key

The start/stop switch on the Model PM2700

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

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 shaper, 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 the arrow lines up with the LOCK

arrow. This will prevent the safety key from

coming loose from vibration when the machine

is in use.

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 work-

piece.

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.

If this feature is used, the display should be

reset to zero for each new cutting operation.

Figure 21

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 counterclock-

wise 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 shaper 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 shows 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.

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 when cut against

the grain.

Figure 22

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.

Figure 23

Clockwise Setup – With the cutter installed as

shown in Figure 24, feed the workpiece from left to

right.

Figure 24

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 both fences are in line,

Figure 26. In this case, the stock should be

advanced to the 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

"Z" Dimension

Before making a template (or using 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).

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 work-

piece 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 28

Figure 29

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 work-

piece and provides the necessary width.

End shaping a narrow work-

piece without a special guide could result in

the workpiece rocking into the cutterhead,

causing personal injury.

Shaping All Sides

Because cross grain shaping is more likely to

create 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 30

Figure 31

Figure 32

Figure 33

Straight Line Bevel Shaping

To shape a beveled straight edge, use a bevel-

edge 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.

Figure 35

Never attempt to bevel cut free

hand. Always use a bevel-edge fixture.

Contour Edge Shaping With Collar Bearing

To shape contoured edges, the operator must first

remove the fence assembly.

In order to control the 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 the

workpiece or template. At the same time, the collar

will establish the depth-of-cut as shown in

Figure 37. Whenever possible, always use the ring

guard or safety collar.

Figure 37

Note: Since the 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 38

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:

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 cutter, 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 gouge the workpiece;

simply repeat the operation to correct the

mistake.

Figure 39

Figure 40

Figure 41

Figure 42

Figure 43

3. Usin

the collar between the two cutters has

the advantages and disadvantages of the first

two procedures, and is frequently used where

both edges of the 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 the work into the cutter as shown 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

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 the arc and circle shapes that

the workpiece, prior to being shaped, must be

roughly cut to the desired size and curve of the

finished piece. Make sure that the jig curve

matches exactly the workpiece curve. 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.

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 while 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 47

Figure 48

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 construction

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 can

be securely held to the template with "C" clamps

as shown in Figure 51.

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 49

Figure 50

Figure 51

Figure 52

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 clean

and long-term cutting. Small cutters may be solid

carbide, and some use inserts. Since there are

such a wide variety of choices, the operator is

limited only by his experience and 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 the sash

cutter for the matching door stile sash.

Figure 56 shows the 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 56

Figure 53

Figure 54

Figure 55

Figure 57

ure 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 require both work-pieces to be

perfectly square and straight-edged.

Glue Butt Joint

To perform a glue butt joint, both fences are kept

inline and 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 other 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.

With this type joint, the whole 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 58

Figure 59

Figure 60

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.

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.
