Re: Shaper Power Feeder Issues


 

Hi Kamal,
?
I've been reading the comments you have received from this thread. ?You have received some great advice and excellent tips for this particular issue. ?But this is the tip of the iceberg in terms of what is possible with the shaper.
?
I'm certainly not the authority on shapers, however among those that commented on your project, Joe Calhoon certainly qualifies as that authority. ?I don't want to take anything away from any of the other contributors, simply because I don't know their level of expertise.
?
With that said, you can truly up your game with the use of the shaper by taking some classes with Alpineworkshops.com. ?Joe Calhoon teaches the classes in Ouray, Colorado with logistics support provided by Greg Godbout of Rangate. ?The classes are typically limited to 6 students. ?They focus on a particular subject like lift and slide doors, for example. ?However no subject is off limits and both Joe and Greg provide plenty of time to explore almost anything shaper related.
?
Probably the most important thing you will learn in the Alpine classes, is how to SAFELY use the shaper in your shop, and still get the results you desire. ?I've taken the full series of classes Alpine offers. ?There is so much information passed on each class, that it is impossible to retain it all. ?So, take lots of notes and photos. ?Joe's classes are truly worth the time and money.
?
I'm sure many on this forum will suggest the same!

Evening all, am having issues processing sticking cuts on rails with a power feeder.? See attached pictures but generally when the end of the material is about to leave the infeed fence, it is getting pushed into the cutters and the front of the piece appears to get pushed away from the outfeed feed fence in spite of what I think is a properly setup power feeder - this is resulting the poor? cut at the end.? Not sure what I am doing wrong but it has to be something with the way in which I have the power feeder set up.? Help appreciated.
