| Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on
In the United Kingdom we call it a spindle moulder and in the United States I believe you call it a shaper
My question can anyone please suggest books,videos or sources of information on the internet to help me grow my knowlege and ensure I use the maschine safley
I have received two days training but would welcome any further advise
Kind regards Charnwood

A couple of books:
The Shaper book - Bird - Taunton Press - 1-661-68120-8
Shaper Handbook - Cliffe - Linden Press - 0-941936-69-4
WMH Group (Powermatic, Jet) Have a Shopclass Series DVD on shapers with Phil Lowe
The DVD covers basic setup and operation.
Hope this helps
Best shaper book is by Eric Stephenson called the Shaper or Spindle Moulder. Actaully came out in England originally. There's only 4 or 5 books on the subject. Most of this stuff is handed down from operator to operator in the industry. The shaper can take a liftime to learn. It's that involved.
