Straight Shaping
Because the shaper fence is independently
adjustable, you can set up the shaper to cut
part or all of the workpiece edge.
To set the fence up for cutting material from
the whole edge of the workpiece, do these
steps:
1. Loosen the locking handles shown on the
sides of the fence mount in Figure 42.
2. Turn the adjustment knob located on the
back of the fence mount and adjust the
infeed fence until the workpiece contacts
the cutter at the desired location.
3. Tighten the lock handle located on the side
of the fence mount to lock the fence into
position.
4. Adjust the outfeed fence so that it is located
as far back from the front of the table as
possible.
5. Turn the shaper ON.
6. Using a piece of scrap wood, advance the
workpiece 8" into the cutters, and turn the
machine off. DO NOT remove the workpiece
from the infeed fence face.
7. Once the cutter has come to a complete
stop, adjust the outfeed fence so that it just
touches the newly cut edge as shown in
Figure 43.
8. Make sure all fence lock handles are tight.

DO NOT use the miter gauge in conjunction
with the fence. The fence may not be
parallel to the miter slot and binding of the
workpiece could result. When there is
binding of the workpiece, the chance of
kickback increases and serious personal
injury can result.
