When shaping workpieces that have irregular
shapes, rub collars are a necessity. There are
two types of rub collars: solid and ball bearing.
They are available in various diameters and can
be purchased individually or as sets as shown in
=`^li\ +-%
Some examples of when you would
use a rub collar are raising arched or tombstone
door panels, round table tops, or any other cut
that needs to have its depth of cut limited.
Refer to the set up examples below.

This setup is the safest and produces the most
consistent results. The only drawback is that
the cut is on the underside of the workpiece,
out of view of the operator. However, if the
workpiece lifts off the table, you simply run
it through a second time to finish the cut.

This setup has the advantage of making two
profile cuts in a single pass. Although you
have a rub collar beneath a cutter, this setup
is safer than the previous setup. Any lifting
of the workpiece will still cause the cutter
to make an uneven cut. A second pass will
correct the profile on the bottom edge, but
the top profile will still have the gouge from
lifting the workpiece into the cutter.

This setup allows the cut to be viewed by
the operator; however, it is also the most
dangerous. Any slight lifting of the workpiece
will cause the cutter to make too deep of
a cut. There is also an increased chance of
kickback.
