The brand-new PM2700 Shaper brings you more features than any other shaper in its class. It comes with an extra-large 30' x 40' precision-ground cast iron table. The heavy-duty miter gauge has an aluminum-extruded support. The built-in, omni-directional caster system (patent pending) can be retracted into the base. A quick-release lever enables fast speed and belt changes. The extruded aluminum fence has multiple T-slots, allowing you to mount a wood face for a no-clearance surface around any shaper or router bit. You can quickly move the fence to its final position, lock it, and then use the precision micro-adjustments on each side of the cutter for exact positioning. The digital readout for spindle height adds to the machine's precision, enabling adjustments within .001' - crucial for aligning rail and stile cutters for raised panel doors. Key features include a digital readout for exact spindle height and .001' adjustments, a heavy-duty 30' x 40' precision-ground tabletop for smooth stock feeding, a heavy-duty cast iron base, 3/4' and 1-1/4' spindles, independently adjustable fence sides, integrated casters for mobility, micro-adjust control knobs for the fence, a superior clear cutter guard for safety and full cut observation, a table predrilled and tapped for feeder mounting in two locations, and two-speed reversible spindle speeds.
Using the PM2700 Shaper is straightforward. First, ensure it's plugged into the correct voltage (230/460V). You can use the quick - release lever to change the speed and belt easily. When setting up the fence, move it close to the desired position, lock it, and then use the micro - adjust control knobs on each side of the cutter for precise positioning. The digital readout helps you set the spindle height accurately, which is important for making raised panel doors. For safety, always use the clear cutter guard. It allows you to watch the entire cutting process while protecting you. When it comes to dust collection, make sure you have a system with a minimum of 600 CFM connected to the 4 - inch dust port. For maintenance, regularly check the spindle for any signs of wear. Clean the tabletop to keep stock feeding smooth. If you need to move the shaper, use the integrated casters by raising or lowering them. Keep in mind that this product has a Prop 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm, so take appropriate precautions.
