Removing the shaper insert head on my Cu300 combo machine requires a few steps: moving an interlock knob, opening a side door, locking the spindle with a rod, removing the arbor lock bolt, removing the insert head, then repeating the reverse process to reinstall the head.
Anyone just unplug the machine, raise the arbor and change out the insert knives while the shaper head is on the arbor?
There is no significant force applied to the arbor during the knife change process, so it seems relatively safe to me.
Am I missing something, and should I always remove the shaper head to change insert knives? Maybe to clean it, for example?
What are y'all doing?
