The shaper is a stationary woodworking machine used to produce decorative mouldings, edges, and joinery. Every production shop has always had a shaper, but now advanced home woodworkers are increasingly likely to own one of these versatile machines because they are affordable and because they greatly expand the capability of a shop. A shaper, however, is one of the trickiest woodworking machines to operate properly and safely. This handbook explains hundreds of shaper techniques and illustrates each with drawings and photos. Advice is offered about what to look for when buying a shaper, and maintenance, troubleshooting, and tune-up are also covered.

The MicroPlane Rotary Shaper is an excellent tool for shaping anything that you would use a belt sander or a drum sander for. This tool pulls off stock in chips, not dust, keeping the air clear and leaving a nice look on your stock. It also drops chips from the bottom of the tool. When using the follower, it allows for repeatability as the woodworker can trace the same pattern using this bearing follower which fits both the 1″ & 2″ rotary shapers.
