SAFETY
SAFETY
READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
Standard Safety Instructions
1. Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,
limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for future
reference.
2. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.
3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a three-
hole grounded electrical receptacle or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in
accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.
4. Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles that meet
the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
5. Avoid dangerous environments. DO NOT operate this machine in wet or open flame environments.
Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.
6. Ensure all guards are securely in place and in working condition.
7. Make sure the machine power switch is in the OFF position before connecting power to machine.
8. Keep the work area clean, free of clutter, grease, etc.
9. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should be kept at a safe distance while operating unit.
10. Childproof your workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
11. Stop and disconnect the machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.

SAFETY
12. DO NOT force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.
13. Use correct tool. DO NOT force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
14. Wear proper apparel. DO NOT wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, and secure long hair
away from moving parts.
15. Remove adjusting keys, rags, and tools. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check
that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.
16.
16.Avoid using an extension cord. But if you must, examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good
condition. The amperage rating of the motor can be found on its nameplate. If the motor is dual
voltage, be sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will be using. If you use an extension cord
with an undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit,
increasing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Always use an extension cord that uses a
ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace a damaged extension cord.
17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times and lock mobile base from freely rolling before using
your machine.
18. DO NOT leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.
19. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions
in the manual.
20. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating
machines near pilot lights and/or open flames
creates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area.
Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an
explosion. DO NOT operate the machine in high-
risk areas, including but not limited to, those
mentioned above.
21. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties
performing the intended operation, stop using the
machine! Contact our service department or ask a
qualified expert how the operation should be
performed.
22. Habits are hard to break. Develop good habits in
your shop and consistent safety practices will
become second-nature to you.
Operating this equipment creates the
potential for flying debris to cause eye
injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles
when operating equipment. Everyday glasses
or reading glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be
certain the safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Additional Safety Instructions for Shapers
1. Never place your hands within 12 inches of the cutters. Never pass your hands directly over or
in front of the cutter. As one hand approaches the 12-inch radius point, move it in an arc motion
away from the cutter to the outfeed side and reposition that hand more than 12 inches beyond the
cutter.
2. DO NOT shape stock shorter than 12 inches without special fixtures or jigs. Where practical,
shape longer stock and cut to size.
3. Keep the cutters on the underside of the workpiece whenever possible. This provides a distance
guard for the operator.
4. UNPLUG THE SHAPER, and always rotate the spindle by hand to test any new setup to ensure
proper cutter clearance before starting the shaper.
5. When shaping contoured work and using a rub collar, NEVER start shaping at a corner. See the
rub collar section further on in the manual. The danger of kick-back is increased when the stock
has knots, holes, or foreign objects in it.
6. Always run warped stock through a jointer before you run it through the shaper.
7. Keep any unused portion of the cutter below the table surface.
8. Never attempt to remove too much material in one pass. Several light passes are safer and give
a cleaner finish.
9. In most applications it is advisable to use a push stick as a safety device; in others it can be quite
dangerous. If the push stick comes in contact with the cutter on the end grain, it can be violently
propelled from your hand—potentially causing serious injury. We recommend using some type of
fixture, jig, or hold-down device as a safer alternative. And ALWAYS use a guard or other type of
protective device at all times.
10. Always make sure cutter is positioned in the correct direction before starting shaper, and
always feed against the rotation of the cutter.
11. Use overhead guard when the fence is not in place.
12. Never operate the shaper without the second locking nut in place over the spindle nut. See
.Page 26,Figure 39.
SAFETY
USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect, and always consider safety
first, as it applies to your individual working
conditions. Remember, no list of safety
guidelines can be complete, and every shop
environment is different. Failure to follow
guidelines can result in serious personal
injury, damage to equipment and/or poor
work results.
READ and understand this
entire instruction manual
before using this machine.
Serious personal injury
may occur if safety and
operational information is
not understood and
followed. DO NOT risk
your safety by not reading!

ELECTRICAL
We DO NOT recommend using an extension cord
with most equipment because the cord can
generate heat that may cause a fire or circuit
damage. If you must use an extension cord, use
the guidelines below.
•Use a cord rated for Standard Service
(Grade S) rated to carry 20 amps or more
•Use a cord that is 100 feet or less
•Use a cord with a ground pin
•Use an undamaged cord only
Extension Cords
220V Operation
The SHOP FOX®Model W1702 Shaper 220 volt
motor draws approximately 18 amps. Purchase a
NEMA-style L6-20 plug and receptacle for the
power supply circuit connection.
Since other machines may be using the same
circuit, make sure the circuit, circuit breaker,
or fuse can carry a 20 amp load. If the total
amperage load of all machines and the shaper
exceeds the amperage rating of the circuit
breaker or fuse, use a different circuit that can
carry the load.
DO NOT modify an existing low-amperage circuit
by only replacing the circuit breaker with a
breaker rated for a higher amperage. The
breaker and the complete circuit must be
replaced by a qualified electrician, otherwise
the wires can overheat and cause a fire.
Grounding
NOTICE
When using an electrical plug adapter, make
sure the adapter is grounded.
Any electrical outlet and
circuit that you plug your
machine into must be
grounded. Serious injury
and/or fire may occur if this
warning is ignored!
ELECTRICAL
NEVER cut the ground pin off so your shaper plug
will fit into a non-grounded receptacle.
Remember, an adapter with a grounding wire
does not guarantee the shaper is grounded. A
ground source must always be verified in the
electrical circuit within the wall or conduit.
Ground this machine! The electrical cord supplied
with the SHOP FOX®Model W1702 Shaper has a
ground wire for a grounded plug. See Figure 8. If
your power receptacle does not have a ground pin
hole, have the receptacle replaced by a qualified
electrician, or have an appropriate adapter
installed and grounded properly.

some assembly is required including shop
preparation. The following is the recommended
sequence best suited for final installation and
assembly.
• Shop Preparation
• Fence Assembly
• Safety Guard Assembly
• Hold-Down Assembly
• Handwheel Assembly
• Spindle Installation
TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need a machinist’s
square, 12" to 18" straightedge, 10mm, 12mm,
14mm, and 15mm open-end wrenches and a
3mm Allen®wrench.
Beginning
WEAR your safety goggles
during any assembly or
maintenance. Failure to
comply may result in
serious personal injury.
KEEP loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Initial Cleaning
The exposed and unpainted shaper surfaces are
coated with a waxy oil to prevent rust during
storage and shipment. DO NOT use chlorine
based solutions or solvents to remove the waxy
oil, or you will damage the painted surfaces.
Remove the waxy oil with a solvent based
degreaser before you use the shaper. Always
follow all use and safety instructions of the
product that you are using.
DO NOT use flammables
such as gas or other
petroleum-based solvents
to clean your machine.
These products have low
flash points and present
the risk of explosion and
severe personal injury!
DO NOT smoke while using
cleaning solvents. Smoking
may cause explosion or
risk of fire when exposed
to these products!
ALWAYS work in a well
ventilated area when
using solvents with
fumes, and keep away
from any potential
ignition sources (pilot
lights). Most solvents
used to clean machinery
are toxic when inhaled or
ingested. Always dispose
of waste rags in a sealed
container to make sure
they do not cause fire or
environmental hazards.
UNPLUG the power cord
before you do any
assembly, adjustments,
or maintenance tasks!
Serious personal injury to
you or others may occur
if this warning is ignored!

Shop Preparation
• Machine Mobility: Use the Model D2057
SHOP FOX® Heavy-Duty Mobile Base so
you can make the most out of your shop
space by moving the Model W1702 3 HP
Shaper out of the way when not in use.
Contact your SHOP FOX® Dealer for price
and availability.
• Working Clearances: Consider your current
and future shop needs with respect to the
machinery and the lumber to be shaped.
Allow enough space for safe lumber support
as the lumber is fed into the shaper and as
it exits the machine.
• Outlets: Make sure the electrical circuits
have the capacity to handle the amperage
requirements for your Model W1702 3 HP
Shaper. Refer to Pages 3 and 8for more
information. Electrical outlets should be
located near the shaper, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas.
Make sure that you use an appropriate dust
collection system connected to your shaper. You
may have to create or modify other shop ducting
to achieve the correct dust collection system
clearances and airflow. Connect a 3" flexible dust
collection hose to the rear of the fence
adjustment tube. Use a 3" hose clamp to secure
the hose to the tube. See Figure 11.
For additional information on the correct dust
collection system, additions, or modifications;
contact your Woodstock International dealer for a
copy of the Dust Collection Basics handbook and
available accessories.
ONLY allow trained people
in your shop! Make sure
shop entrances are locked
and machines are
correctly turned off with
lock-out devices when not
in use. Otherwise, injury
or death can occur.
USE the correct dust

upward as shown in Figure 20.
7. Tighten your selected spindle in the shaper
as outlined below:
• For shaper spindles: Place the spindle
wrench on the top end of the spindle. Using
a 15mm open-end wrench, tighten the
drawbar nut while holding the spindle
wrench secure as shown in Figure 21. DO
NOT over-tighten the drawbar nut.
• For router bit spindles: Hold the router bit
spindle flat on the shank—NOT the collet
nut. Using a 15mm open-end wrench,
tighten the drawbar nut while holding the
router bit spindle in position with a wrench.
DO NOT over-tighten the drawbar nut.

ONLY operate your shaper in the COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE direction as looking downward at
the spindle when when you use a router bit
adapter. Router bits are designed to cut in
the counter-clockwise direction only. DO
NOT operate the shaper in the clockwise
direction to make any sort of router-bit back
cut. If this caution is ignored, the workpiece
can kick back, or the collet can loosen and
throw the cutter causing severe injury or
death!
ADJUSTMENTS

NOTICE
You can adjust the relative position of the
fence mount lock handle head by pulling
and rotating the head either clockwise or
counter-clockwise. Adjusting the relative
position is sometimes necessary before
tightening or loosening the handle in tight
locations.
NOTICE
DO NOT over-tighten screws or bolts into
the cast iron. Cast iron threads strip more
easily than steel.
Figure 22. Fence mount lock handle.
Fence Positioning
The two fence faces are independently
adjustable to allow for different shaping tasks.
The fence faces can be set at different positions
to remove material from the entire edge of the
wood stock or the same position to allow the
shaping of part of the edge.
To adjust the fence, do these steps:
1. Loosen the fence mount lock handle located
on the side of the fence mount shown in
Figure 22.
2. Adjust the position of the fence by turning
the adjustment knob located on the back of
the fence mount shown in Figure 22.
3. Once the fence is in the desired position,
tighten down the fence mount lock handle.

Fence Alignment
Before shaping, check that the two fence faces
are parallel.
To align the fences so they are parallel with
each other, do these steps:
1. Get a quality straightedge that is long enough
to span the entire length of the fence
assembly.
2. Make sure that the screws that hold the
fence faces to the fence mounts are tight and
secure.
3. Adjust the fence faces so they are in as close
to the same parallel position as possible.
4. Hold the straightedge across both of the
fence faces as shown in Figure 23.
5. If the fence faces are not parallel, place
shims between the back of the fence pieces
and the face of the fence mounts. With some
trial and error shim adjusting, parallel fence
faces can be achieved.
Figure 23. Use straightedge to check fence.
ADJUSTMENTS
-18-
Table Inserts
The table inserts are necessary for the safe
operation of the shaper. Two inserts are provided
allowing for three different opening sizes to be
achieved. Use the smallest-size opening for a
cutter to reduce wood chips falling into the
machine, which could cause flying debris. Using
the smallest-size opening also covers any unused
portion of the bit below the surface of the table,
thus reducing the chance of operator injury.
To adjust the table inserts, do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Using a screwdriver, remove the three
Phillips®head screws holding the cast iron
insert in the table. See Figure 25.
3. Using a straightedge as a guide, turn the
barrel-head screws either way until the
insert is flush with the top of the table as
shown in Figures 24 and 25.
4. Once the entire insert is flush with the table
top, reinsert the three Phillips®head screws
and tighten.
Figure 25. Use a straightedge to make sure
insert is flush with table.

Pulley Alignment
Pulley alignment is important to the
performance of your shaper. If the pulleys are
just slightly out of alignment, the shaper may
suffer from power loss as well as decreased V-
belt life. The pulleys need to be parallel with
one another for optimum shaper performance.
To align the pulleys, do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Remove the motor cover from the side of the
shaper.
3. Hold a straightedge up to the pulleys to
determine if they are aligned correctly as
shown in Figure 26.
4. If the motor pulley is not aligned with the
spindle pulley, loosen the four motor mount
bolts as shown in Figure 27.
5. Wiggle the motor until the pulley is aligned
with the spindle pulley.
6. If the spindle pulley is not aligned with the
motor pulley, loosen the bolt on the spindle
slide that holds the spindle in place as shown
in Figure 28.
7. Place a pad on the floor underneath the
spindle to prevent damage if it falls to the
floor.
8. Slowly wiggle the spindle up or down into
alignment with the motor pulley. Wiggle the
spindle slowly so the spindle does not slide
too fast or drop to the floor.
9. After you adjust the pulleys, check the
alignment with the straightedge again. Once
you are satisfied with the results, tighten
down all the fasteners, and recheck one
more time after all the fasteners are secure.

Spindle RPM
This shaper spindle can be run at 7,000 or
10,000 RPM. The speed is changed by the
placement of the V-belt as shown in Figure 29.
To change the spindle RPM, do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Loosen the two spindle slide bolts that hold
the motor mount plate to the spindle slide as
shown in Figure 30. DO NOT remove the
bolts completely.
3. Position the V-belt on the pulleys according
to the desired spindle speed.
4. Slide the motor and motor mount plate
assembly until the V-belt is snug and tighten
the bolts. The amount of V-belt deflection
should be 1⁄4" when pressed with your thumb.
5. Tighten all fasteners securely.
6. Make sure the V-belt is correctly aligned on
both pulleys.

ADJUSTMENTS
Choose Spindle RPM:
Always follow cutter manufacturer
recommendations; however, if not available
use these general specifications to help select
spindle and RPM. NOTE: Always use the
largest spindle possible, and only use a one
bushing at a time when reducing the cutter
inside diameter.
•For shaper cutters smaller than 31⁄2" in
diameter run the spindle at 10,000 RPM.
•For shaper cutters 31⁄2" and larger in
diameter, run the spindle at 7,000 RPM.
-21-
The spindle slide-to-gib clearance may need
adjusting so there is no play when pressure is
applied to the spindle. Gib adjustments are
made by loosening or tightening some or all of
the four setscrews on the side of the elevation
housing shown in Figure 31.
To check the spindle slide-to-gib clearance,
do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Turn the handwheel until the spindle is in the
highest position.
3. Lock the spindle in place by tightening the
spindle lock handle on the side of the shaper.
4. Grasp and wiggle the top of the spindle to
see if there is side-to-side movement. If
there is movement, adjust the gib to remove
this play.
To adjust the spindle slide-to-gib clearance,
do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Loosen the setscrew jam nuts.
3. Slowly turn the four setscrews. Alternate
between the top and bottom so the pressure
will be uniform.
4. Tighten the hex nuts while holding the
setscrews in position.
5. Recheck the spindle slide up and down
movement. No play should exist and the
spindle should move up-and-down smoothly.
It may take several attempts to adjust the
spindle slide-to-gib clearance to get the
spindle to move up and down smoothly.

Start Up
Once assembly is complete and adjustments
have been made, the shaper is ready for start
up. Always pay attention to any unusual noises
and vibrations on every start up, as well as
make sure the shaper operates as intended.
1. MAKE SURE that the fence, any accessories,
Jigs, spindle, cutter, or router bit adapter
being used is tight and no loose items are on
the table.
2. Put your safety glasses on, and start the
shaper by turning the switch to the forward
position. Be sure to have your finger poised
to stop the machine if there is a problem.
3. Once the machine is running, listen for any
unusual noises coming from the shaper. The
shaper should run smoothly with little or no
vibrations.
•If there is an unusual noise or vibration,
shut the machine off immediately. DO NOT
run the shaper any further until the
problems are corrected. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section on Page 33 for
possible causes and solutions.
•If the problem continues and cannot be
easily identified, contact our customer
service department.

-23-
Cutter Direction
The Model W1702 is capable of operating in two
directions by use of a forward and reverse
switch as shown in Figure 32. It is very
important that the workpiece be fed against the
direction of the cutter rotation. This will
prevent a climb cut and maintains a safe cutting
procedure for the operator. There will be times
when it is necessary to flip the shaper cutter
over and run it in the opposite direction, and
feed the board from the opposite end of the
shaper.
•When the switch is pointing to the FWD
position, the spindle and cutter rotate
counter-clockwise.
•When pointing to the REV position, the
spindle and cutter rotate clockwise.
•When the forward and reverse switch is
pointing to the OFF position, the shaper
motor has no power, but power is still going
to the switch. ALWAYS UNPLUG the power
cord from the shaper to the power source
before changing cutters or doing an
adjustment or maintenance.
Always try to operate the shaper so the wood is
cut from the underside. Topside cutting is more
dangerous for the operator, because when the
wood is cut on the top side, the cutter can lift
and grab the wood and cause severe injury!
Refer to Rub Collars on page 29, for specific
recommendations.
NOTICE
Always check the direction of the cutterhead
before performing a shaper operation.
ALWAYS feed the workpiece against the
direction the cutters are turning. If you feed
the workpiece in the same direction as the
cutter rotation, a climb cut will result,
which may grab and pull the workpiece and
your hand through the shaping operation at
a high rate of speed causing severe injury!
Figure 32. Forward and reverse switch.
OPERATIONS
ONLY operate your shaper in the COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE direction as looking downward at
the spindle when you use a router bit
adapter. Router bits are designed to cut in a
counter-clockwise direction only. DO NOT
operate the shaper in the clockwise
direction to make any sort of router-bit back
cut. If this warning is ignored, the
workpiece can kick back, the collet can
loosen and throw the cutter, and cause
severe injury or death!

To help select the correct cutter, you can go
online to select your cutter, bushings, and
rub collars.
• For shaper cutter profile selection go to
www.romancarbide.com and select
the applicable cutter.
b) Choose Cutter Height and Spindle Size:
Use these general specifications to help
select cutter and spindle size.
• For the 1⁄2" diameter spindle, the
maximum safe cutter height used with
washers, T-bushings, or rub collars, and
lock nuts installed is 2".
• For the 3⁄4" diameter spindle, the
maximum safe cutter height with
washers, T-bushings, or rub collars, and
lock nuts installed is 2 1⁄2".
• For the 1" diameter spindle, the
maximum safe cutter height with
washers, T-bushings, or rub collars, and
lock nuts installed is 2 1⁄4".
b) Choose Spindle and Cutter RPM:
Use these general specifications to help
select spindle and RPM. NOTE: Always use
the largest spindle possible, and only use a
single bushing if you need to reduce the
cutter inside diameter size.
•For shaper cutters smaller than 31⁄2" in
diameter run the spindle at 10,000 RPM.
•For shaper cutters 31⁄2" and larger in
diameter, run the spindle at 7,000 RPM.
Always follow the cutter manufacturer
recommendations; however, if not available use
the list below with your particular cutting needs
in mind to help select the correct cutter,
spindle, and RPM. Then install your cutter as
outlined.

Setting Spindle Height
Correct spindle height is crucial to most shaping
applications. Use a piece of test wood to
confirm the correct spindle height before
cutting expensive lumber.
To set the spindle height, do these steps:
1. Loosen the spindle lock knob located on the
side of the shaper as shown in Figure 40.
2. Rotate the handwheel on the front of the
shaper shown in Figure 41 to raise or lower
the spindle.
3. Retighten the spindle lock knob on the side
of the shaper. DO NOT over-tighten the knob.
Only a small amount of tension is needed to
keep the spindle from moving during
operation.

correct direction.
8. Go to the Spindle RPM section on Page 20
and set the spindle RPM as outlined.
9. Install applicable safety guard(s).
NOTICE
Always check the direction of the cutterhead
before performing a shaper operation.
-27-
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.
Figure 42. Fence mount lock handle.
Figure 43. Fence setup for jointing-type
operations (Guard Not Shown For Clarity).
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.

To set up the fence for partial edge removal
or profiling an edge, do these steps:
1. Loosen the lock handles on the side of the
fence mount.
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 comes
into alignment with the infeed fence as
shown in Figure 44.
5. Now place a straightedge against both faces
of the fence to check alignment. Once they
are both in alignment, make sure both lock
handles are tightened.
Always feed the wood against the rotation of
the cutter as shown in Figure 45. Another way
to conceptualize this is to always feed the wood
into the cutter so that the cutter is pushing
against the direction of feed. Never feed wood
in the same direction as the cutter rotation.
This is called a “climb cut” and is extremely
dangerous.
Also, examine the grain on the side edge of the
board. Whenever possible, run the board so the
shaper cutters are cutting with the grain as
shown in Figure 44. This will minimize the
chance of tear out.
Figure 44. Fence setup for partial-edge
removal operations
(Guard Removed For Clarity).
Figure 45. Sequence for shaping an edge
around a workpiece
(Guard Removed For Clarity).
OPERATIONS
ALWAYS use the aid of a jig when shaping
small or narrow workpieces. A jig will reduce
the chance of your hands coming into
contact with the cutters. Failure to follow
this warning may result in serious personal
injury.
-29-
Rub Collars
When shaping workpieces that have irregular
shapes, rub collars are a necessity. There are
two types of rub collars: solid and ball bearing.
They are available in various diameters and can
be purchased individually or as sets as shown in
Figure 46. Some examples of when you would
use a rub collar are raising arched or tombstone
door panels, round table tops, or any other cut
that needs to have its depth of cut limited.
Refer to the set up examples below.
There are three set up positions for rub collars:
1. ABOVE THE CUTTER as shown in Figure 47.
This setup is the safest and produces the
most consistent results. The only drawback is
that the cut is on the underside of the
workpiece, out of view of the operator.
However, if the workpiece lifts off the table,
you simply run it through a second time to
finish the cut.
2. BETWEEN TWO CUTTERS as shown in Figure 48.
This setup has the advantage of making two
profile cuts in a single pass. Although you
have a rub collar beneath a cutter, this setup
is safer than the previous setup. Any lifting of
the workpiece will still cause the cutter to
make an uneven cut. A second pass will
correct the profile on the bottom edge, but
the top profile will still have the gouge from
lifting the workpiece into the cutter.
3. BELOW THE CUTTER as shown in Figure 49.
This setup allows the cut to be viewed by the
operator; however, it is also the most
dangerous. Any slight lifting of the workpiece
will cause the cutter to make too deep of a
cut. There is also an increased chance of
kickback.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND SHAPING WITH A
RUB COLLAR BELOW THE CUTTER!

Freehand Shaping
Freehand shaping is shaping without the aid of
the miter slot or fence. The most dangerous
part of shaping freehand is beginning the cut,
where the cutter first contacts the workpiece.
Often the workpiece will tend to jerk or
kickback, catching the operator off guard.
To reduce this tendency, use a starting pin. The
pin allows you to anchor and slowly pivot the
workpiece into the cutter as the cut is started.
Thus shaping freehand is more stable and safer.
See Figure 50.
To set up the shaper for freehand shaping, do
these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Remove the fence assembly from the shaper.
3. Insert the starting pin in the best suited hole
on the table so you can feed the workpiece
into and against the rotation of the cutter.
4. Install the cutter so it will cut in the correct
direction, and adjust the spindle height.
5. Install the auxiliary guard. DO NOT use the
shaper without a guard. Refer to Figure 14
on Page 12 for information on making and
using an auxiliary guard.
6. Use a supplemental hold-down jig like the
SHOP FOX®W1500 Right Angle Jig as shown
in Figure 51, or you can use rubberized-
handle push blocks to support or guide the
workpiece and protect your hands.
7. Place the workpiece against the starting pin.
8. Slowly pivot and feed the workpiece into the
cutter. Avoid starting the cut on the corner
of the workpiece as kickback could occur.
Once the cut is started, the workpiece should
be pulled away from the starting pin.
ALWAYS use an auxiliary jig and extreme
care when shaping with the fence removed.
Freehand shaping often requires you to
remove the fence resulting in reduced
protection from the cutters.
DO NOT start a cut on the corner of the
workpiece. This may cause kickback. Serious
personal injury could occur.

Pattern Shaping
Sometimes the location of the starting pin holes
will not always be in the safest position. You
can clamp a piece of scrap wood to the shaper
table. The edge of the wood can be used as the
starting support as shown in Figure 52.
The use of patterns (templates) allows identical
parts to be cut with speed and accuracy.
Shaping with a pattern begins by attaching a
prefabricated template to the rough workpiece.
The edge of the template rides against a rub
collar on the spindle as the cutter cuts the
matching profile on the workpiece edge as
shown in Figure 53. You can incorporate extra
features into the template assembly (such as
toggle clamps) to hold the workpiece and hand
grips, or guards for safety and protection.
To make a template, do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Make sure that screws or clamps will not
come into contact with the cutter.
3. Design the assembly so that cutting will occur
underneath the workpiece.
4. Make handles for safety and control.
5. Use materials that will move easily across the
table surface and rub collar.
6. Remember to consider the cutter and rub
collar diameter when making the pattern.
7. Install hold-down clamps at three sides of the
pattern assembly or screw the pattern
assembly to the back side of the workpiece.
8. Again, make sure screws will not come into
contact with cutters.
DESIGN jigs and fixtures so screws and clamps
DO NOT contact the cutter and the
workpiece is held securely to the jig. The jig
must be stable on the shaper table. Failure to
do so could result in serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
For other items on this machine, an occasional
application of light machine oil is all that is
necessary. Before applying lubricant, clean off
sawdust.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication.
Too much lubrication will attract dirt and
sawdust. Various parts of your machine could
lose their freedom of movement as a result.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model

Shaper Accessories
The following shaper accessories may be available through your local Woodstock International Inc.
Dealer. If you do not have a dealer in your area, these products are also available through online dealers.
Please call or e-mail Woodstock International Inc. Customer Service to get a current listing of dealers at:
1-800 840-8420 or at sales@woodstockint.com.
The W1105 Woodstock Board Buddies®hold down the workpiece on
the shaper during cutting operations. These Board Buddies®are made
from die-cast aluminum and feature non-marring green neoprene
rubber wheels. Because the wheels turn in both directions, they
function as hold-downs rather than anti-kickback devices. Mounts to
fences 3" to 3-1/2" high x 1" or wider with the optional W1107 12"
Tracks or the W1108 24" Tracks.
The W1500 SHOP FOX®Right Angle Jig allows you to make cuts on
board ends and various other cuts with complete accuracy and
improved safety. Constructed using top quality aluminum castings and
plates which are machined to exacting tolerances. It has the perfect
weight-use ratio to dampen vibration, yet is still light enough to easily
slide the workpiece through the shaping process. Its quality and
precision are evident from the first cut.
The D3096 SHOP FOX® Feather Board reduces the risk of kickback
and helps achieve consistent shaping results from your shaper.
Designed to lock into 3/8" x 3/4" miter gauge slots, these SHOP FOX®
Featherboards are adjustable for various stock widths and miter slot
locations. No drilling or bulky “C” clamp arrangements needed.
The D2057 SHOP FOX®Adjustable Mobile Base supports your shaper
so you can move it easily and lock it in position. Designed for long
term and frequent moving of heavy machinery. All SHOP FOX®
Adjustable Mobile Bases are the first mobile bases designed strong
enough to move heavy machines on a continual basis. The stands are
adjustable to fit a variety of machines, and can be leveled without
the use of shims or tools.
PARTS
The SHOP FOX®Heavy-Duty Roller Stands and Roller Tables make
your shaper safer and easier to use. All models feature convenient
hand knobs for fast height adjustment and offer rigid steel
construction. These stands are invaluable for supporting work on
shapers. Go to http://www.shopfox.biz/rollerstand.cfm to view all
of the available roller tables and stands.
Shaper Accessories
The Woodstock Rub Collars deliver extremely smooth, bump-free
shaping cuts. All Woodstock rub collars are manufactured from solid
steel on CNC lathes. We assemble these in the USA using high-quality,
maintenance free bearings. Contact your local Woodstock
International Dealer for kits or specific single sizes.
The SHOP FOX®Router Bit Spindle takes advantage of your existing
selection of router bits, so you can use many router bits with your
shaper. The router bit spindle accepts 1/4" and 1/2" shank bits.
The Roman Carbide®Shaper Cutters and Router Bits use extra thick
Micro-Grain C2 carbide for extra sharpness and shock resistance, and
a special anti-friction coating to reduce shaper power loss and cutter
gumming. The European "controlled cut" profiles on select bits reduce
the danger of kickback, and Shear angle profiles minimize wood
tearing and reduce or eliminate sanding. View the Hottest Line In
America at http://www.romancarbide.com
The D1700 Woodstock Moulding Head and available knives let you
cut many profiles for your projects. This system uses a wide variety
of precision-ground cutter patterns for use in a specially-designed
CNC-machined, aircraft aluminum cutterhead. The 2" moulding head
accepts all 2" knives and works on shapers with 3/4" diameter spindles
and motors 1-1/2 HP or larger. The 2" moulding head requires a 3" tall
spindle.
The Woodstock Straight Bushings and T-bushings allow you to take
advantage of your existing selection of shaper cutter bits that
do not fit a current shaper spindle. These straight bushings and
T-bushings allow for special cutting dimension adjustment on a
variety of spindle and shaper cutter sizes. Go to
http://www.shopfox.biz/index.cfm
