G0510Z 3⁄4 HP Shaper -24-
Incorrectly feeding stock—feeding WITH
the rotation of the cutter—creates a poten-
tially uncontrollable feed situation may pull
stock from your hands. Follow the above
instruction all the time or serious personal
injury can occur.
Freehand shaping greatly increases the
chance that the operator may lose control
of the workpiece; therefore, use a starting
pin to increase control while freehand shap-
ing. Loss of control could result in loss of
fingers or other serious personal injury.
Irregular Shaping
Irregular or freehand shaping takes a high degree
of skill and dexterity. The fence assembly is not
used in irregular shaping, so rub collars must be
used. See the rub collar section for details. Also,
unless your jig is designed to touch the rub col-
lar before contacting the blade, a starting fixture
must be used to begin your cut.
When doing freehand work, a starting pin
must be used!
The purpose of the starting pin
is to support the workpiece during the beginning
of the cut. Your shaper is supplied with a starting
pin that can be placed in one of the holes located
in the shaper table. The work should be placed
in the starting position, using the starting pin for
support as illustrated in
Figure 29.
Next, swing the work into the cutter while hold-
ing the workpiece firmly against the starting pin.
After the cut has been started, the work should be
swung away from the starting pin and supported
just by the rub collar, as shown by the broken line
positions in
Figure 29.
ALWAYS FEED AGAINST THE ROTATION OF
THE CUTTER.
Figure 29. Always feed against cutter rotation.
For irregular shaping:
1.
Remove the fence assembly.
2.
Choose the appropriate cutter for your appli-
cation and lock it in place.
3. Check the rotation of the cutter.
4. Adjust the spindle height to align your
workpiece to the cutter.
5.
Insert a starting pin into the table surface,
using the pin location that best supports your
work.
6.
Use some type of hold-down fixture and
guard when doing freehand work.
7.
Make a sample cut on a piece of scrap
wood.
8. If everything is correct, feed your workpiece
along the cutter, using firm pressure to
keep your work against the rub collar. Feed
AGAINST the cutter rotation only.
