Re: Shaper with CopeCrafter and outboard fence and pressure jaws to make panels
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Joel:Thanks for your reply. I would personally much rather use aluminium extrusion rather than the timber that David Z. has used. This is certainly what I¡¯ve done, following many others. But each to their own. This is not a contrasting proposition as you appear to think. There are two reasons why I use the narrow wheels, even with the thickness stop modification: 1. ?Sometimes the material is both thin (in terms of thickness) and narrow (in terms of width). So thin and narrow that even David Z's modification would not suffice. In such circumstances there is need to use a single set of narrow feeder wheels. Maybe you will never suffer this scenario as you rarely if ever machine narrow/thin stock. It doesn¡¯t happen very often for me. 2. There have been instances where I have benefited from removing the two inner, central wheels, the ones which are closest to the cutter, so that the feeder partially straddles the cutter head. Cheers, Lucky
