Horizontal Draw-cut Shaper

Large overarm
supporting outer end of
long ram
Cutting during return
stroke
Ram forces w.p. against
column
Less vibration and
chatter
Primarily used in tool
and die shops where
high accuracy needed

Vertical Shaper (Slotter)

Vertical and inclined surfaces

External and internal
cylindrical surfaces
Circular feeding of table
between strokes
Keyseater specially designed
for mach. keyways inside
wheel and gear hubs

Diferences between
Shapers and Planers
Shapers
do only small work
tool moves across the
stationary work
work is usually fed across
the tool
Usually ram is driven by a
quick-return mechanism
less constant-velocity
cutting speeds

Planers
adapted to large work
work is moved against a
stationary tool
tool is fed into the work
Table is driven either by gears
or by hydraulic means
more constant-velocity cutting
speeds
mostly equipped with tool heads
capable of cutting on both
directions of table movement
