Horizontal Shaping - Facing Top Job Surface
Horizontal Shaping - Facing Top Job Surface - Horizontal cutting is most commonly carried out on a shaper to obtain flat surfaces. The job is held in the vise and. an appropriate tool is held in the tool head of the shaper, The length and position of the stroke are adjusted to machine the whole length of the job.
Cutting speed and feed are then adjusted, depending upon whether it is a roughing or finishing cut. The proper inclination of the tool and the depth of cut is also set. Cross feed to the table is given initially by hand till the cut starts and then the power feed is employed.
After the tool has cut the full width of the job, shaper is stopped and the job is inspected. For further removing of the material, another depth of cut is set and the above said procedure is repeated.
