Shaper Alignment Gauges
MasterGage tools help establish measured shaper setup references before machining parts. Check cutter height fence position table reference and workpiece support for the intended operation.
Machine Set Up
Shaper setup should follow the machine and cutter manufacturer’s instructions. MasterGage tools can help verify height fence table and dimensional references where appropriate. Disconnect power before adjustment use proper guarding and workholding and make test cuts before machining finished stock.
