A. FENCE
The Model G1024 Shaper’s fence uses a two-piece adjusting system. Each fence is adjustable to
compensate for different cutting thicknesses and special shaping applications, using the locking
knob at the rear of the shaper. See Figure 10. One turn of the knob moves the split fence approxi-

/64" (.040"). When removing material from the whole face of your workpiece, the outfeed
fence should be adjusted to the proper offset to provide support for the workpiece as it passes over
the cutter. To adjust the fence:
1. Adjust the infeed fence so the cutter will remove the desired amount of stock.
2. Lock the infeed fence in position with the locking bolt.
3. Make a test sample and inspect the results.
4. Adjust the outfeed fence to support the new profiled edge. Lock the outfeed fence into position
and re-test. See Figure 11 and Figure 12 for improper and proper outfeed fence positioning.
