Long-timer lurker; new poster to SMC. Long-time WW but new shaper owner and I'm think I'm missing something obvious.
I've just purchased an Amana SC621 3 wing shaper cutter.
(note the catalog seems to be in error as dimension "d1" (inside diameter) is 1 3/4" on this cutter - not 2" as stated. Even at 1 3/4" the supplied reducer bushings still collide with the carbide)
I also bought their recommended ball bearing rub collar for the tool, but don't see how it is possible to stack it. If I purchase a 1 3/4" OD spacer (mine are all 2 1/32" for my 1 1/4" Felder) to sit between the bearing and other spacers/nut, the still bearing won't work. Seems a retainer is required to engage the inner bearing race, but the only retainer they sell is > than 2" in diameter making it unsuitable for the recommended 2" ball bearing rub collar. So what am I missing?
Sorry if this is obtuse; happy to clarify. Any help would be appreciated.
