EDGE SHAPING: SHORT BOARDS
When edge shaping short boards, never attempt to hand guide any
stock less than 12 inches long, or narrower than 3 inches without the use
of a special guide (Fig. 22)
END SHAPING
When end shaping narrow stock at least one half of the work piece
end must be in contact with either the outfeed or infeed fence. (Fig.
23)
Warning: never attempt to shape a narrow piece without a special
guide, the work piece may star rocking into the cutter head
causing minor or major injury to the work operator.
SHAPING SIDES
When shaping across the grain, some woods
are more likely to chip out or splinter. It is
recommended to shape cross grain sides first.
Any chipping that does occur will be removed
by the subsequent cut with the grain. (Fig. 24).
Using the existing bolts in the fence, attach a
taller shop-made fence when the shaper fence
does not support firmly support taller stock,
(Fig. 25)
Note: To avoid interference with mounting
screw, make sure the bolt holes are on your
shop-made tall fence are countersunk.
