Wood Shapers

Wood Shapers

Woodworkers rely on a variety of power tools and hand tools to perform their work. But, perhaps, the most important, and certainly one of the most powerful pieces of woodworking equipment they use is the wood shaper. Wood shapers allow a skilled individual to take a piece of stock (wood blank) and perform their magic, transforming the wood into something visually appealing or truly special.

Wood shapers, have a motor that is usually more powerful than a router, allowing the machines to use a more complex profile cutter. Using these complex cutters on a wood shaper can deliver more sophisticated, larger, complex machining cuts in one pass instead of the multiple passes it would take on a router to achieve the same end result.

Also, the heavy-duty tabletop on these wood shapers is teamed with a fence system, making the machines ideal for smooth stock feeding and precise positioning. Wood shaper fences also make a cutting or shaping operation on these machines very repeatable to maintain consistency in the work. These 10,000 RPM wood shaping machines are available in a variety of sizes, horsepowers, amperages and voltage options to match the project at hand. Some even feature the handy capability for attachment to a dust collection system to help keep cleanup to a minimum.
