Take your time when adjusting the fence. Always use a piece of scrap wood to make a first run sam-
ple. Micro-adjust accordingly. Double check yourself to make sure all hold-down devices are secure.
Remember to use appropriate guards when using the fence system.
B. SPINDLE
The standard
1
/2" spindle on your Model G1024 Shaper is capable of using most available
1
/2" cut-
ters with maximum diameters of 2
7
/8" and 2
3
/8" maximum height. To install a cutter on your shaper:
1. Remove the spindle nut and safety washer from the spindle shaft. Some Model G1024 Shapers
may feature a lock nut instead of a safety washer.
2. Select the proper shaper cutter for the application you desire and place it on the spindle. Make
sure the cutter’s direction of rotation is correct for your application.
3. Once the cutter is properly seated on the spindle shaft, replace the safety washer, making sure
that it aligns properly with the notch in the spindle shaft.
4. Return the spindle nut to its position on the spindle shaft and tighten it. Use an appropriate
wrench on the squared head of the spindle shaft to hold the shaft in place while you tighten the
spindle nut. See Figure 14. If your shaper features a lock nut, tighten it over the spindle nut.
