Assembly
Tools required for assembly:
crane with hoist; or forklift
9/16", 7/16" and 1/2" wrenches
level
1. Remove all wood crating from around the
shaper.
2. Remove the bolts securing the machine to
the skid.
3. The shaper can be lifted by a crane with
hoist (Figure 1), or by a forklift (Figure 2),
either of which should be capable of lifting
one ton. Remove the skid from under the
shaper.
4. The shaper should be placed on a solid,
level foundation, preferably a concrete floor.
With the machine in position, check table
surface left to right and front to back with a
machinist's level. If necessary, place metal
shims under the corners of the machine to
ensure it is level.
5. Secure the machine to the floor with good
quality lag screws through the holes in the
bottom of the cabinet.
6. Exposed metal parts such as the table top
have been given a protective coating at the
factory. This should be removed with a soft
cloth and solvent (such as mineral spirits).
Do not use an abrasive pad.
Interchangeable Spindle Installation
One of the features of this machine is that it will
accept interchangeable spindles with a drawbar
or without a draw bar. Router bits can also be
used on this shaper.
Interchangeable Spindle with
Drawbar
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source and remove the table inserts (NOTE:
Removing the tilting insert is not necessary).
2. Raise the spindle shaft all the way up.
3. Thoroughly clean the taper of the
interchangeable spindle and the internal
taper of the shaft with a soft cloth moistened
with kerosene or mineral spirits (do not use
gasoline or lacquer thinner).
