Re: Looking for a deep shaper cutter

Imran,?
My favorite methods to square the tenoning-carrier to the fence:
1. A giant precision square like Lamb Tool Works referenced on a shaper fence, fit the crosscut fence to it, then clamp down fixed. 2. Using 1-2-3 blocks along a fixture coplanar to fence that something is already attached perpendicular (i.e. the table of a tenoning table), clamp down fixed, then verify the perpendicular attachment. If using a tenoning table and merely trusting the crosscut carrier attached is perpendicular, it's a mistake not to verify every time.
Joe,
Thanks for confirming. Interesting, it did not occur to me until now that this should work w/o worrying about the slider trajectory. However, the fence needs to be 90 deg to the travel of the slider. What is the best way to adjust the xcut fence? ?Imran,
Yes to keep the workpiece from either binding or coming away from the fence. Slot and tenon and through tenon the tenon length is critical to avoid clamping problems. Even when the fence is parallel you can still get some variation.
