Most cutters are designed to rotate counterclockwise
and cut the stock from underneath the workpiece, which
provides a safety barrier between the spinning cutter and
the operator. In this case, the workpiece is fed past the
cutter from right to left—against the cutter rotation (see
the illustration in =`^li\)0).
However, some cutters are designed to shape from the
top of the workpiece, which exposes the operator to the
spinning cutter and increases the risk of operator injury.
To avoid this hazard, you can cut from the bottom of the
workpiece by mounting the cutter upside-down on the
spindle, reversing the spindle rotation, and feeding the
workpiece past the cutter from left to right. Refer to
the following :lkk\i@ejkXccXk`fe procedurefor detailed
instructions.

The Model W1827 accommodates cutters that have
3
⁄4", 1",
and 1
1
⁄4" center bores when used with the corresponding
spindle. A large variety of shaper cutters are available
through your local Woodstock International Inc. Dealer.

• The cutting edges of large cutters travel faster than
smaller ones at the same spindle speed. Cutters with
a 3
1
⁄2" or larger outside diameter must be operated
at the slowest speed.
• Do not use a spindle speed that exceeds the speed
rating of the cutter.
• Wear heavy leather gloves when handling cutters to
avoid laceration injuries—cutters are SHARP!
• Keep the spindle, spacers, and cutter clean and free
of debris to prevent them from binding when placed
on the spindle.
• Use the smallest table insert opening possible to
keep the gap between the table surface and the
cutter to a minimum. This will help keep wood
chips from falling into the cabinet, provide better
workpiece support, and increase operator safety by
reducing risk of kickback or accidental contact with
the cutter.
