OPERATIONS
Shaping When using the Fence as a
Guide
The use of the fence is the safest and most
satisfactory method of shaping. Most straight work can be
shaped using the fence described below.
Figure 26
For average work, where a portion of the original edge of
the work is not touched by the cutter, both the front and
rear fences are in a straight line (Fig. 26).
Figure 27
When the shaping operation removes the entire edge of
the work (jointing or making a full bead), the shaped edge
will not be supported by the rear fence when both fences
are in line (Fig. 27). In this case, the work should be
advanced to the position shown in Fig. 27 and stopped.
Figure 28
The rear fence should then be advanced to contact the
work (Fig. 28). The rear fence will be in line with the cutting
circle.

This set-up illustrates a typical shaping operation with the
fence halves in a straight line.
