Because the shaper fence halves are independently
adjustable, you can set up the shaper to cut part or all of
the workpiece edge.
Note: To quickly set the depth of cut, loosen both
carriage adjustment knobs and move the fence assembly
in or out in relation to the cutter. This positions the fence
to allow for the micro-adjustments described below.
