This manual has been prepared for the owner and operators of a Powermatic Model 29 Shaper. Its purpose, aside from machine operation, is to promote safety through the use of accepted correct operating and maintenance procedures. Completely read the safety and maintenance instructions before operating or servicing the machine. To obtain maximum life and efficiency from your shaper and to aid in using the machine safely, read this manual thoroughly and follow all instructions carefully.

! GENERAL SAFETY RULES READ THE MANUAL: Always read the owner's manual carefully before attempting to use the machine. Know the limitations and hazards associated with its use. INSTALLATION: If mounting machine to the floor, use high quality anchor bolts through the mounting holes on the base. If using a mobile base, be sure to lock the wheels. PROTECTION: Take every precaution to protect yourself, others around you, and the machine itself, from improper use.
SAFETY LOCK WASHER: Never operate the shaper without the safety locking keyed washer located immediately under the spindle nut, Figure 3. This prevents the nut from coming loose when the spindle is run in a counterclockwise direction. Do not substitute any other type washer in place of the safety lock washer. FIGURE 1 FEED STOCK opposite to the direction of the cutter rotation. Never back stock out of the cutter once the cut has been started.
RECEIVING THE SHAPER Carefully unpack the shaper and any loose items from the wood crate and inspect for damage. Any damage should be reported to your distributor and shipping agent immediately. Before proceeding further, read your manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with proper assembly, maintenance and safety procedures.
FIGURE 5 3. Mount the dust hood (J) to the rear of the fence body (A) with the four cross screws, Figure 6. FIGURE 7 ADJUSTMENTS BELT ADJUSTMENT/SPEED CHANGE FIGURE 6 MITER GAUGE/CLAMP ASSEMBLY The miter gauge and clamp are used for shaping the end of stock. To assemble the miter gauge: 1. Assemble miter gauge (A) by placing bottom screw into hole on bar (B) and screwing knob and washer onto threaded rod (C), Figure 7. Tighten knob. 2. Slide miter gauge bar into table slot from the end. 3.
FIGURE 11 FIGURE 9 SPINDLE INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT The Model 29 can use interchangeable spindles as well as router bits. To install the spindle, proceed as follows: 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Lock the main shaft by opening the rear door in the cabinet and pulling out the knob (A), Figure 10, and rotating it to the right until it locks in place. FIGURE 12 6. Unlock the shaft by rotating the lock knob (Figure 10) to the left and allowing it to snap back in. 7.
! WARNING: AFTER INSTALLING A CUTTER AND CHECKING IT FOR TIGHTNESS, CHECK AGAIN! Make certain the direction of cutter is correct and that the stacking collar, safety washer and spindle nut are all tightened securely! ! WARNING: Be sure to release the lock knob from the main shaft before starting machine (Figure 10). TABLE INSERTS FIGURE 13 RAISING & LOWERING SPINDLE 1. Loosen the small handwheel (K), Figure 13. 2. Turn large handwheel (L) until spindle reaches the desired height. 3.
Each half of the aluminum fence should be adjusted as close to the cutterhead as possible without interfering with it. Each can be moved independently depending on the type of work to be done: 4. Loosen the knob (D) on the connection plate and slide aluminum fence (E) to position, Figure 16. Retighten knob (D). WORK HOLD-DOWNS & SAFETY SHIELD Two hold-downs and one safety shield are included with the shaper.
2. When the shaping operation removes the entire edge of the stock, e.g. in jointing or making a full bead, the shaped edge will not be supported by the outfeed fence when both fences are in line, Figure 20a. In this case, the stock should be advanced to the position shown in Figure 20a and stopped. The outfeed fence should then be moved forward to contact the work, Figure 20b. The outfeed fence will then be in line with the cutting circle and the operation can continue.
! CAUTION: When using tenoning cutters with a diameter of 11-13/16" or 9-13/16", run spindle at a speed not higher than 3,000 RPM. If tenoning cutters have a diameter of 7-7/8" or 6- 3/8", run spindle at a speed not higher than 6,000 RPM. If tenoning cutters have a diameter no larger than 3-3/16", run spindle at 10,000 RPM. FIGURE 24 NOTE: It is advisable to place the cutter as low as possible on the spindle to reduce spindle deflection and ensure the best possible finish.
