Wide Speed Range
Four spindle speeds—4,000, 6,000, 8,000, and 10,000 RPM—give you the flexibility to work with different materials and cutter types. This allows greater control over finish quality and cutting precision. Adjustments are simple, using a lever that changes speeds without complex steps.
Generously Sized Table
The 32" x 26-½" table provides ample space for supporting larger stock during shaping. Its flat and stable surface helps maintain consistent alignment. The size enhances comfort and accuracy, especially during extended work sessions.
Built-In Mobility System
Integrated wheels allow for effortless relocation around the shop. There’s no need for aftermarket bases or lifting. Move the machine when needed, then lock it securely in place.
Tool-Free Speed Adjustment
Speed changes are handled with a simple lever mechanism. No tools or pulley adjustments are necessary. This makes switching speeds quicker, improving overall workflow.
Flat Poly-Groove Drive Belt
The unique drive system transfers more torque while reducing vibration. This results in smoother, quieter operation, even under heavier loads. Fewer vibrations also mean better cut accuracy and longer tool life.
Dual Spindle Sizes Included
The machine comes with both ¾″ and 1-¼″ spindles. This gives you the flexibility to use a wider range of cutters right out of the box. It's a cost-effective feature for those needing versatility from the start.
Router Collets Included
¼″ and ½″ router collets are also part of the package. They allow you to use common router bits without additional accessories. This increases the machine's value and extends its versatility in shaping tasks.
Forward and Reverse Rotation
The spindle direction can be reversed as needed. This is especially helpful for reducing tear-out and achieving cleaner edges on certain grain directions. A simple switch allows easy control over direction.
Micro-Adjustable Fence
The fence system includes micro-adjustments for precision fine-tuning. You can dial in settings to meet your exact shaping needs. This is ideal for repeatable accuracy and cleaner passes.
Compact Yet Heavy-Duty Build
Despite its smaller footprint, the Compact Shaper weighs in at 450 lbs. The weight provides stability during operation, helping reduce vibration and shifting. It’s a durable option that balances size and performance effectively.
