All Felder shapers have standard equipment including a tilting shaper spindle 90°–45°. Due to the tilting shaper spindle, the range of applications and savings of tooling cost may be much higher than you have expected. Using the handwheel causes the whole shaper spindle unit to tilt to the desired angle easily and smoothly.

The dual dust extraction for the shaper via the shaper fence and the chip collection bin under the cutterhead ensures clean and trouble free operation.

Accurate tenons are much easier with the Felder “X-Roll” sliding table. This precision guiding system will accept maximum loads without compromising the smooth and accurate stroke of the sliding table. The “X” configuration of the roller bearings optimally distributes work-piece weight to all sides. With conventional sliding tables, ball bearings are used in the guiding system. A ball bearing system creates a singular point of contact between the bearings and the flat guiding tracks, causing premature wear that compromises accuracy. The “singular point contact” will eventually wear grooves into the tracks and as a result, sideways play will develop in the sliding table. It is physically impossible for the “X-Roll” system (with roller bearing lineal contact); to wear grooves into the guiding tracks, hence the system will allways remain play free and ­accurate. The sliding table is backed by a 6 year ­factory guarantee.

The ”240“ shaper fence is standard equipment on the shaper units. The shaper fence can accomodate tooling to a maximum of 9“
(230 mm) and has a micro-adjustment on the shaper fence outfeed side. The integrated dust extraction cowling allows for chip removal. The spindle table opening is 9“ (230 mm). This allows the spindle with the cutterhead attached to be lowered below the table in some cases.

The Multi-fine adjustment system allows quick and precise adjustment of the shaper fence. This time saving feature reduces setup time and the number of test cuts that are required. The whole fence can also be removed and then returned to its exact position.
- Automatic repeat setting after removal of your fence
- Parallel adjustments of the shaper fence
- Fence can be pre-set to a desired position
- Measurement scale for depth of cut

To optimize cutting speed for each job an optional Variable Speed Control (1500 to 11,000 rpm) is available.

The safety bar guides, great for
“end-grain” work (optional).

Hardened anodized aluminum fence plates are standard. Precise, fine adjustment on the remov­able shaper fence via a scale from –.4” to +1.38” (–10 to +35 mm).

The large table opening allows for maximum operator safety. With large ­dimensioned tenoning and panel ­raising tooling, the cutterblock can be ­conveniently positioned below the table.

An optional outrigger table can be added to your sliding table (2000 mm/78” table required). With this valu­able option, you can easily work with large work pieces
e.g. Rebate an entrance with ease and precision.
