Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between carbide-tipped and micro-grain carbide-tipped shaper cutters?
- Carbide-Tipped: Constructed of standard tungsten carbide tips brazed onto a steel body. They provide greater hardness and longer life than high-speed steel and create smooth cuts in hardwoods, softwoods, and laminates.
- Micro-Grain Carbide-Tipped: Made from finer carbide particles than standard carbide. Longer lasting with more wear resistance and less prone to chipping, with cleaner cuts in all material types.
What are some tips to get the most out of my shaper cutters?
- Match the spindle speed to the cutter diameter and material, using a lower speed for larger cutters and higher speed for smaller cutters.
- Maintain a steady feed rate to avoid damaging the cutter or ruining your workpiece.
- Ensure your cutters are always sharp and effective through regular inspections.
- Use push blocks and other supports to feed stock and avoid unstable and warped material.
- Use multiple shallow passes for deep cuts to achieve cleaner edges and reduce motor strain.
