Shaper Cutter Head Question

[Joe Calhoon]

Thanks Rod, That makes sense.

Different times for sure, pretty much on lock down here also. I am lucky that my shop is on my my home property so I can continue working. A lot of people here are hurting business wise and we all will at some point.

Hi Joe, I don’t normally, I was illustrating the guarding for a seminar when I took those photographs.

When I use the larger cutters for doing both sides of the tenon at once I have to use it as they won’t go below the table on my small shaper.

Out of curiosity what it the maximum tenon disc diameter the F3 rated for?

[ChrisA Edwards]

The manual states this

Dado Tooling 220(275)mm
Max Moulding Diameter 220mm.

As you can see from my photo, in post 1, this is a 125mm cutter block. I still have one of the rings in the table around the cutter. This cutter is allowing me about a 55mm radius cut.

Whitehill sells this cutter block with a flushed in bolt and cap which gives you a bit more cut thickness.

So I used the Shaper for the first time and it worked wonderfully. Could not believe how easily it cut 1/2" x 2" tenon on the end of a 1.125" thick board

Cut a slew of tenons on the rails for my Plantation Shutter build.

Looks very clean, and doesn't sound like the machine was working too hard.

Looks good, wait until you cut both sides at once....Rod
