SHAPING USING THE FENCE
Using the fence is the safest method of shap-
ing. Most straight cuts that use the fence for
support can be performed by following the
guidelines below.
1. If performing a cut where a portion of the
workpiece is not touched by the cutterhead,
both sides of the fence will be set at the same
depth.
2. When performing a cut where the entire
edge of the workpiece is removed, the fence
must be positioned differently.
Supported
If the fence halves are kept in line, once the
workpiece passes through the cutterhead, the
shaped edge would no longer be sup-
ported against the fence. To prevent this , the
outfeed side of the fence must be positioned
further out to compensate for the material be-
ing removed. Advance the outfeed side of the
fence until it contacts the shaped edge of the
workpiece.
3. If using a miter gauge, the infeed side of
the fence MUST be parallel with the miter slot.
Also make certain that the outfeed side of the
fence is positioned out of the way so that is
does not contact the workpiede after it passes
through the cutterhead.
FREEHAND SHAPING
Freehand shaping is shaping without the
use of a miter gauge or fence. Beginning
the cut is the most dangerous part of freehand
shaping. Many times when the workpiece first
contacts the cutter, the workpiece will tend to
kickback or jerk. Which can surprise the opera-
tor. To help reduce the frequency of these in-
cidents and increase the safety aspect of free-
hand shaping. a starting pin is provided with
your shaper.

This pin will allow you to anchor and slowly
pivot the workpiece into the cutter at the be-
ginning of the cut. When freehand shaping. it
is always best to use a template jig.
USING COLLARS
WARNING: When shaping workpieces that
have irregular shapes, it is essential to use a
collar. There are three basic types of setup
for the collar. Each setup has it's advantages
and disadvantages.
BELOW THE CUTTER
Cutter
The advantage of
the collar being po-
sitioned below the
cutter is that the
user can see the
progress of the cut
being made, the disadvantage is that any lift-
ing of the workpiece, even slightly, will cause
the cutter to gouge the wood and ruin the
workpiece.
ABOVE THE CUTTER
This type of setup
Collar
is the safest of the
three and produces
the most consistent
results. Two advan-
tages of this setup
are that.
1. The cut will not be affected by slight varia-
tions in the thickness of the workpiece.
2. The workpiece will not be gouged if you ac-
cidentally lift it off the table. If the workpiece
lifts off the table, simply run it though the cut-
ter again to produce a finished cut.
The only disadvantage of this type of setup is
that the user will not be able to see the cut
being made as it will be on the underside of
the workpiece.
BETWEEN TWO CUTTERS
The advantage of
Cutter
this setup is that you
can make two pro-
file cuts in a single
pass so it is frequent-
ly used when both
edges of the workpiece are to be shaped. The
disadvantage with this method, like the "Be-
low the cutter" method, Is that any accidental
lifting of the workpiece will cause gouging and
ruin the workpiece.
