Safety Instructions For Power Tools  
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make  
sure your extension cord is in good condi-  
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance with the chart below. The amperage  
rating should be listed on the motor or tool  
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a  
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of  
power and overheating. Your extension  
cord must also contain a ground wire and  
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-  
sion cords if they become damaged.  
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep  
tools sharp and clean for best and safest  
performance. Follow instructions for lubri-  
cating and changing accessories.  
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing  
and changing accessories, such as blades,  
bits, cutters, and the like.  
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-  
AL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off  
position before plugging in.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-  
ther use of the tool, a guard or other part  
that is damaged should be carefully  
checked to determine that it will operate  
properly and perform its intended function.  
Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-  
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,  
mounting, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or other  
part that is damaged should be properly  
repaired or replaced.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear  
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,  
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get  
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear  
is recommended. Wear protective hair cov-  
ering to contain long hair.  
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-  
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not  
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also  
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is  
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have  
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safe-  
ty glasses.  
20. NEVER USE UNDER THE INFLUENCE of  
alcohol or drugs, or when tired.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to  
hold work when practical. It’s safer than  
using your hand and frees both hands to  
operate tool.  
21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR  
UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER-  
ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any  
instructions you give in regards to the  
operation of the machine are approved,  
correct, safe, and clearly understood.  
13. NEVER OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-  
ing and balance at all times.

Additional Safety Instructions For Shapers  
1. NEVER ALLOW YOUR HANDS to come  
within 12 inches of the cutters. Never pass  
your hands directly over or in front of the  
cutter.  
9. THE USE OF PUSH STICKS as safety  
devices in some applications is smart; in  
others it can be quite dangerous. If the push  
stick comes in contact with the cutter on the  
end grain, it can fly out of your hand like a  
bullet—potentially causing serious injury.  
We recommend using some type of fixture,  
jig, or hold-down device as a safer alterna-  
tive. Always use the guard as described in  
the manual.  
2. BLIND CUT WHENEVER POSSIBLE. This  
keeps the knives on the underside of the  
workpiece and provides a distance guard  
for the operator.  
3. WHEN SHAPING CONTOURED WORK  
and using a rub collar, NEVER start out at a  
corner. See the “Rub Collar” instructions  
further on in the manual.  
10. NEVER FORCE MATERIALS through the  
shaper. Let the cutters do the work.  
Excessive force is likely to result in poor cut-  
ting results and will cause dangerous kick-  
back conditions.  
4. WITH THE MACHINE UNPLUGGED,  
always rotate the spindle by hand with any  
new setup to ensure proper cutter clearance  
before starting the machine.  
11. ALWAYS ensure that the cutters, fence,  
and spindle elevator knob have been tight-  
ened properly before beginning any opera-  
tion.  
5. DO NOT SHAPE STOCK SHORTER than  
12 inches without special fixtures or jigs.  
Where practical, shape longer stock and cut  
to size.  
12. ALWAYS feed the work toward the cutters  
in the direction opposite of the cutter rota-  
tion. Also, using and maintaining a sharp  
cutterhead will greatly reduce the chance of  
kickback.  
6. NEVER ATTEMPT to remove too much  
material in one pass. You are far more like-  
ly to enjoy safer and higher quality results if  
you allow the cutter to remove material in  
multiple passes.  
13. NEVER REACH BEHIND CUTTER to grab  
the workpiece. Your hand may suddenly be  
pulled into the cutter in the event of a kick-  
back.  
7. THE DANGER OF kickback is increased  
when the stock has knots, holes, or foreign  
objects in it. Warped stock should be run  
through a jointer before attempting to run it  
through a shaper.  
14. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-  
ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE  
INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING  
THE SHAPER! Then contact our service  
department or ask a qualified expert how  
the operation should be performed.  
8. KEEP THE UNUSED PORTION of the cut-  
ter below the table surface.  
Like all power tools, there is danger associ-  
ated with shapers. Accidents are frequently  
caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay  
attention. Use this tool with respect and cau-  
tion to lessen the possibility of operator  
injury. If normal safety precautions are over-  
looked or ignored, serious personal injury  
may occur.  
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.  
Every shop environment is different. Always  
consider safety first, as it applies to your indi-  
vidual working conditions. Use this and other  
machinery with caution and respect. Failure  
to do so could result in serious personal  
injury, damage to equipment or poor work  
results.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS  
Grounding  
220V Operation  
The Model G8621 Shaper is furnished with a  
3450 R.P.M., 5 H.P., Single-Phase 220V motor,  
push-button ON/OFF magnetic starter switch, for-  
ward-reverse switch and a cord set. Under nor-  
mal use, the motor draws approximately 25 amps  
@ 220V. We recommend a 30 amp circuit break-  
er. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the  
shaper, contact our service department.  
In the event of an electrical short, grounding  
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a  
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-  
rent. This tool is equipped with an electric cord  
that has an equipment-grounding conductor  
which must be properly connected to a grounding  
plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching  
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
The shaper motor must be connected to its own  
dedicated 30A circuit. The shaper should not  
share a circuit with any other machine, and the  
wires in the circuit should be rated for 30A. A  
standard 2-pole breaker is also necessary for use  
with the shaper.  
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding  
conductor can result in the risk of electric shock.  
The conductor with green or green and yellow  
striped insulation is the electrical-grounding con-  
ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric  
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the  
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.  
We recommend using a NEMA-style L6-30 plug  
and outlet similar to that in Figure 1. You may  
also “hard-wire” the shaper directly to your panel,  
provided you place a disconnect near the  
machine. Check the electrical codes in your area  
for specifics on wiring requirements.  
This equipment must be  
grounded. Verify that any  
existing electrical outlet  
and circuit you intend to  
plug into is actually  
grounded. Under no cir-  
cumstances should the  
grounding pin from any  
three-pronged plug be  
removed. Serious injury  
may occur.

Extension Cords  
Wiring  
We do not recommend the use of extension  
cords on 220V equipment. Arrange the place-  
ment of your equipment and the installed wiring  
to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should  
it be necessary to use an extension make sure  
the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or bet-  
ter. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety to  
determine the minimum gauge for the extension  
cord. The extension cord must also contain a  
ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or  
replace extension cords when they become worn  
or damaged.  
A wiring diagram is provided at the back of this  
manual should it be necessary to repair or revise  
the wiring. Always utilize a qualified electrician  
when doing any electrical work on this equip-  
ment.  
We have covered some basic electrical  
requirements for the safe operation of  
your machine. These requirements are not  
necessarily comprehensive. You must be  
sure that your particular electrical configu-  
ration complies with local and state codes.  
Ensure compliance by checking with your  
local municipality or a licensed electrician.

Clean Up  
Site Considerations  
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy  
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-  
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-  
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as  
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. Avoid chlorine-  
based solvents as they may damage painted sur-  
faces should they come in contact. Always follow  
the usage instructions on the product you choose  
to clean.  
FLOOR LOAD  
Your Model G8621 Shaper represents a moder-  
ately large weight load in a moderate sized foot-  
print. Most commercial shop floors will be ade-  
quate for the 770 lb. weight of the Model G8621.  
Some floors may require additional support.  
Contact an architect or structural engineer if you  
have any question about the ability of your floor to  
handle the weight.  
WORKING CLEARANCES  
Do not use gasoline or  
other petroleum-based  
solvents to clean with.  
They have low flash  
points which make them  
extremely flammable. A  
risk of explosion and  
burning exists if these  
products are used.  
Serious personal injury  
may occur.  
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-  
tances between machines and obstacles that  
allow safe operation of every machine without  
limitation. Consider existing and anticipated  
machine needs, size of material to be processed  
through each machine, and space for auxiliary  
stands and/or work tables. Also consider the rel-  
ative position of each machine to one another for  
efficient material handling. Be sure to allow your-  
self sufficient room to safely run your machines in  
any foreseeable operation.  
LIGHTING AND OUTLETS  
Do not smoke while using  
solvents. A risk of explo-  
sion or fire exists and may  
result in serious personal  
injury.  
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate  
shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits  
should be dedicated or large enough to handle  
combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be  
located near each machine so power or exten-  
sion cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas.  
Be sure to observe local electrical codes for prop-  
er installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.  
Many of the solvents  
commonly used to clean  
machinery can be toxic  
when inhaled or ingest-  
ed. Always work in well-  
ventilated areas far from  
potential ignition sources  
when dealing with sol-  
vents. Use care when dis-  
posing of waste rags and  
towels to be sure they do  
not create fire or environ-  
mental hazards.  
Make your shop “child safe.”  
Ensure that your workplace  
is inaccessible to children by  
closing and locking all  
entrances when you are  
away. Never allow visitors in  
your shop when assembling,  
adjusting,  
equipment.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY  
Handwheel  
Beginning Assembly  
Most of your Model G8621 Shaper has been  
assembled at the factory, but some parts must be  
assembled or installed after delivery. We have  
organized the assembly process into steps.  
Please follow along in the order presented here.  
The handwheel, pre-installed at the factory, is  
made of cast iron. It is used to raise and lower the  
spindle to accommodate the height required by  
your cutter.  
Thread the crank handle onto the handwheel.  
Keep loose clothing  
rolled up and out of the  
way of machinery and  
keep hair pulled back.  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
ing any maintenance or  
assembly. Failure to do  
this may result in serious  
personal injury.  
Figure 4. Handwheel mounted to shaper.  
Wear safety glasses dur-  
ing the entire assembly  
process. Failure to com-  
ply may result in serious  
personal injury.  
Some metal parts may  
have sharp edges on  
them after they are  
formed. Please examine  
the edges of all metal  
parts before handling  
them. Failure to do so  
could result in injury.

Spindle  
The Model G8621 comes with three interchange-  
able spindles like those in Figure 5. The spindles  
must be inserted correctly and remain stable in  
order to produce quality work. When installing  
and changing spindles, make sure the spindle  
seats snugly and that there is enough drawbar  
threaded into the bottom of the spindle to safely  
secure it in place. To install a spindle:  
Align  
These  
Parts  
1. You should not have your machine connect-  
ed to a power source at this time. If you do,  
UNPLUG it before you begin.  
Figure 6. Installing spindle into the cartridge.  
4. Thread the drawbar nut, tapered side up,  
onto the bottom of the drawbar, as illustrated  
in Figure 7.  
Figure 5. Spindles.  
2. Thread the drawbar approximately 10-15  
turns into the bottom of the spindle. The

V-Belt Tension  
Speed Changes  
1
The Model G8621 Shaper is equipped with a V-  
belt drive system that controls the speeds. To  
change spindle speeds:  
You should be able to deflect the belt 4" with  
moderate finger pressure. This may seem tight  
compared to most other V-belts, but since the belt  
is small and runs fast, this amount of tension is  
necessary. The V-belt will slip if too loose, and  
will squeal or cause vibration if too tight. Adjust  
the tension if necessary. To adjust V-belt tension:  
1. Unplug the machine.  
2. Loosen the two motor plate bolts, and slide  
the motor toward the spindle assembly. DO  
NOT take the bolts out.  
1. Make sure the pulleys are properly aligned.  
3. Select the desired speed. There are four  
speeds: 3600 R.P.M., 5100 R.P.M., 8000  
R.P.M., 10,000 R.P.M. Figure 26 shows the  
belt positions for each available speed.  
2. Loosen the two motor mount plate bolts and  
slide the motor left or right to modify the belt  
tension. Keep the pulleys aligned.  
3. Tighten the motor mount plate bolts, test the  
tension, and check the pulleys.  
4. Repeat steps 2-3 until tension is correct and  
the pulleys are aligned.  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
ing any adjustments or  
maintenance. Failure to  
do this may result in seri-  
ous personal injury.

4. Align the belt along the appropriate pulley  
grooves.  
5. Slide the motor back into position and tight-

sioned, there should be approximately 14" of  
deflection in the center of the belt when you  
press it with moderate pressure.  
6. Tighten all the adjusting bolts.  
7. Spin the pulley to ensure proper tracking.

Fence Adjustment Aligning The Fences  
The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each  
fence is independently adjustable to compensate  
for different cutting thicknesses and special shap-  
ing applications. Without any play, one turn of the  
knob moves the split fence approximately 64"  
(.078"). To adjust the fence:  
The following procedure ensures that the fence is  
parallel with itself and square with the table.  
1. Check that the bolts through the wood facing  
are tight on each side and are adequately  
countersunk.  
5
1. Loosen the fence lock handle.  
2. To align the wood facing, adjust one or both  
fence halves so they are in close alignment.  
Micro-adjust and check the alignment with a  
straightedge as shown in Figure 27.  
2. Turn the fence adjustment knob until the  
fence is set to the desired position.  
3. Tighten the fence lock handle.  
3. If the wood fences are not parallel with each  
other, shim the incorrect side with electrical  
washers. Normal washers may work, but  
electrical washers allow for fine adjustments.  
More detailed information concerning fence  
adjustments is covered in the “Straight Shaping”  
instructions.

Table Inserts  
Setting Miter Gauge  
It is necessary to square the miter gauge each  
time it is removed from the table. To do this:  
The Model G8621 is supplied with two inserts  
which provide three possible opening diameters  
in the shaper table surface. Use the smallest  
opening that a particular cutter will allow. This  
offers more support for the workpiece and  
reduces the amount of chips that can fall into the  
machine. The correct spindle opening also allows  
any unused portion of the cutter to remain below  
the table surface—increasing operator protection.  
1. Ensure that the fence halves are aligned and  
that the miter assembly is correctly assem-  
bled.  
2. Place one end of a framing or try square  
flush with the infeed shaper fence.  
3. Rotate the miter gauge so that it lines up  
The cast iron table insert must be flush with the  
top of the table. To adjust the insert:  
flush with the other end of the square.  
1. Remove the three Phillips® head screws that  
4. Set the miter gauge pointer to 0° and tighten  
the setscrew as shown in Figure 29.  
hold the cast iron insert in place.  
2. By using a straightedge and a screwdriver,  
turn the barrel screws clockwise or counter-  
clockwise to level the cast iron insert with the  
table. See Figure 28.  
Figure 29. Setting the miter gauge pointer.  
5. Keeping the square flush with the infeed  
fence and the miter fence, clamp it to the  
table, and slide the table across the shaper.  
The square should stay flush with both  
infeed and outfeed fences during this move-  
ment. If this is the case, proceed to the next  
section. If they do not stay flush or are not  
square to the miter fence, repeat steps 1-4  
until they are true.

3. Inspect with the straightedge from both side-  
to-side and front-to-back to ensure the insert  
is flush with the table. Replace and secure  
the Phillips® head screws.

Test Run  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
ing any adjustments or  
maintenance. Failure to  
do this may result in seri-  
ous personal injury.  
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are  
done to your satisfaction, you are ready to start  
the machine.  
DO NOT have a cutter installed when you test run  
the shaper. Turn on the power supply at the main  
panel. Press the ON button. Make sure that your  
finger is poised on the OFF button, just in case  
there is a problem. The shaper should run  
smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing nois-  
es. Strange or unnatural noises should be inves-  
tigated and corrected before operating the  
machine further.  
Never use the Model G8621 for applications  
other than those for which it was intended.  
DO NOT overload the machine or use  
excessive force when shaping materials.  
Severe personal injury, damage to the  
machine, or damage to your workpiece  
could occur.  
If the shaper seems to be running correctly,  
check the directional switch. The spindle should  
be rotating in a counterclockwise direction when  
the switch is in the FWD position. Run the Model  
G8621 for a short time to ensure that the moving  
parts are working properly with no excessive  
vibration. If any problem develops, correct it  
before attempting to use the machine.  
If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises,  
immediately contact our service department for  
help.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS  
Rotation  
Keep loose clothing  
rolled up and out of the  
way of machinery and  
keep hair pulled back.  
Your  
shaper  
is  
equipped  
with  
a
FORWARD/REVERSE switch as shown in  
Figure 30. In many instances, you will need to flip  
the cutter over and reverse cutter rotation.  
Whenever possible, mount the cutter so the  
board is milled on the bottom side. This method  
does a better job and is safer for the operator.  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
ing any adjustments or  
maintenance. Failure to  
do this may result in seri-  
ous personal injury.  
Always check the direction of cutter rota-  
tion before beginning any shaping opera-  
tion, and always feed the work against the  
direction of the cutter rotation.  
Wear safety glasses dur-  
ing all operations on the  
shaper. Failure to com-  
ply may result in serious  
personal injury.  
Always wear  
a
dust  
mask when operating  
the shaper. Using this  
machine produces saw-  
dust which may cause  
allergic reactions or res-  
piratory problems.  
Figure 30. FORWARD/REVERSE switch.  
NOTICE  
The following section was designed to give  
instructions on the basic operations of this  
shaper. However, it is in no way compre-  
hensive of every shaper application. There  
are many different jigs that can be built to  
increase safety, accuracy, and types of  
cuts. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that  
you read books, trade magazines, or get for-  
mal training to maximize the potential of  
your shaper.  
NOTICE  
This machine was designed to be started  
and stopped with the ON/OFF buttons—not  
the reversing switch.

Cutter Installation  
Table Lock  
Your shaper operates at speeds of 3600, 5100,  
8000 and 10,000 R.P.M. 312" or larger cutters  
must be operated at the slowest speed.  
The sliding table works with the clamping miter  
gauge to allow you to secure your workpiece to  
the table and make the cut by sliding the table.  
This feature greatly increases operator safety  
because it keeps hands away from the cutter-  
head.  
Always use the largest spindle size possible, and  
never use more than one bushing size to gain two  
spindle sizes. ”Stacking” two cutter bushings to  
decrease the inside diameter of the cutter will  
cause the cutter to perform incorrectly when  
placed under a load.  
When the sliding operation is not desired, the  
table lock shown in Figure 32 will make the table  
stationary. Simply pull the knurled shaft and twist  
it so the cross pins slide into the largest slots in  
the housing. If you want to unlock the table, pull  
the shaft, twist it, and place the cross pins in the  
smallest slot.  
1. Unplug the shaper.  
2. Place an appropriate spacer or collar at the  
base of the spindle for support. Place the  
cutter on the spindle, making sure the rota-  
tion is correct for your application.  
3. Use spacers or collars to suit your particular  
application, then place the spindle washer  
under the nut. Screw on the nut and locknut.  
4. Tighten the nuts while holding the spindle  
stationary. Use a wrench on the notches at  
the top of the spindle for leverage as shown  
in Figure 31.  
Figure 32. Table lock.  
The sliding table makes it easy to feed the  
work into the cutter at a faster rate than  
would normally be used. Always feed the  
work slow and steady to avoid kickback  
and to achieve smooth results with your  
work. Although the miter assembly does  
aid in safety, common sense should always  
be used during every shaping operation.  
Figure 31. Tightening spindle nuts.  
Always use a spindle lock nut during oper-  
ation. If this warning is ignored, the cutter  
may fly off the spindle during use and  
cause severe personal injury.

wheel until the desired position is obtained.  
Serious personal injury  
may result if safety or  
operational information  
is not understood or fol-  
lowed.  
3. Lock the spindle into position.  
The fence assembly is a two-piece, independent-  
ly adjustable system. When removing material  
from the whole face of your workpiece, the out-  
feed fence can be adjusted to provide support  
for the workpiece as it passes over the cutter.  
The outfeed fence can also be set in-line for par-  
tial face removal.  
If removing material from the whole face,  
observe the following steps:  
1. Loosen the locking handles shown in Figure  
34 that hold the fences in place.  
Figure 33. Location of spindle lock.  
NOTICE  
The lock knob keeps the spindle in a fixed  
position during shaper operation. Do not  
over-tighten the lock knob. A snug fit is all  
that is needed to keep the spindle from  
moving during shaper operation.  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
ing any adjustments or  
maintenance. Failure to  
do this may result in seri-  
ous personal injury.  
Figure 34. Location of fence locking handles.  
2. Adjust the infeed fence by turning the adjust-  
ment knobs until the workpiece contacts the  
cutter in the desired location.  
3. Lock the infeed fence in position with the  
locking handle. Use a test piece to determine  
the best setting.

4. Loosen the mounting screws on the fence  
faces and set the face ends to barely clear  
the cutter. This allows the maximum support  
possible for the workpiece while passing the  
cutter. Remember to tighten the wood facing  
before starting the shaper.  
4. Run a test piece through the shaper as  
shown in Figure 36.  
5. A test sample of the desired cut should be  
advanced about 8'' then stopped.  
6. Once the shaper is turned off and the cutter  
has come to a complete stop, adjust the out-  
feed fence to support the new profiled edge.  
See Figure 35.  
Figure 36. Fence adjustment for blind cuts.  
5. Always cut the end grain first when putting  
an edge around the perimeter of your work-  
piece. See Figure 37.  
Figure 35. Fence adjusted to support workpiece.  
If the face of the workpiece will only be par-  
tially removed, observe the following steps:  
1. Adjust the infeed fence to approximately the  
desired depth of cut. Lock the infeed fence in  
place.  
Figure 37. Sequence for multiple cuts.  
2. Use a straightedge to adjust the outfeed  
fence to the same plane as the infeed. Lock  
the outfeed fence in place.  
3. Set the right and left wood face ends so they  
barely clear the cutter. This allows the maxi-  
mum support possible for the workpiece  
while passing the cutter. Remember to tight-  
en down the wood facing before starting the  
shaper.

2. Above the cutter: When the rub collar is  
used above the cutter as seen in Figure 39,  
the cut cannot be seen. This offers some  
advantage: the stock is not affected by slight  
variations in thickness and accidental lifting  
will not damage the workpiece. If lifting  
occurs, simply correct the mistake by repeat-  
ing the operation.  
Rub Collars  
Rub collars are used when shaping curved or  
irregular workpieces, such as arched doors or  
round table tops. Rub collars also limit the depth  
of your cut.  
There are two types of rub collars—solid and ball-  
bearing. We recommend against the use of solid  
rub collars. Grizzly carries an extensive line of  
ball bearing rub collars designed for use with  
Grizzly shapers. See the current catalog for list-  
ings.  
Rub collars may be used in any of the following  
positions:  
1. Rub collar below the cutter: When the rub  
collar is used below the cutter as shown in  
Figure 38, the progress of the cut can be  
observed. However, any unintentional move-  
ment may lift the workpiece into the cutter,  
damaging your work and creating a danger-  
ous situation that may result in kickback. We  
do not recommend using the rub collar below  
the cutter.  
Figure 39. Rub collar installed above cutter.  
3. Between two cutters: Using a rub collar  
between two cutters, as in Figure 40, has  
the distinct advantage of performing two cuts  
at once or eliminating the need to change  
cutters for two different operations. Notice  
that part of the edge is left uncut. The uncut  
portion rides on the rub collar.  
Figure 38. Rub collar installed below cutter.  
Whenever the cutterhead is above the  
workpiece, or you can see it spinning dur-  
ing use, you must take extreme caution to  
keep your hands away from the cutterhead.  
Failure to do so may cause serious per-  
sonal injury.

2. Make the jig stable, using proven methods  
and materials, and fasten the hand holds for  
operator comfort and safety.  
Pattern Work  
3. Secure your workpiece on the three sides  
that will not be cut with toggle clamps, or fas-  
ten the workpiece to the jig with wood  
screws.  
When using a pattern, the rub collar can be posi-  
tioned either above, below or between cutters.  
The pattern is usually used when the entire edge  
is to be shaped or when many duplicate pieces  
are needed. Pattern work is particularly useful  
when rough cutting irregular or oversize pieces  
and then shaping the edge in a simple two-step  
operation. A pattern can be incorporated into a jig  
by way of adding toggle clamps, hand holds or  
other safety devices.  
4. Ensure that clamps and hidden screws do  
not come into contact with the cutter.  
5. Design your jig so that all cutting occurs  
underneath the workpiece as shown in  
Figure 42. Notice the operator is not  
exposed to the cutting edge of the cutter!  
You have greater flexibility when choosing the  
correct diameter rub collar for pattern work than  
for non-pattern work. If you look at Figure 41, you  
will notice that the position of the pattern deter-  
mines the depth of cut. In other words, your pat-  
tern size is dependent upon the interrelationship  
of the cutting circle, the desired amount of mate-  
rial removed, and the rub collar size. Changing  
one or more of these will change the amount of  
material removed. Planning ahead, you can most  
effectively decide which rub collars are best suit-  
ed for your application.  
6. Always consider the cutting circle and rub  
collar diameter for the correct cutting depth  
when designing your pattern.  
7. Make sure the workpiece rests flat on the  
table, not on the fixture.  
Workpieces must be solid, stable, and  
secured to the jig; or kickback may occur,  
causing personal injury.

Figure 41. Rub collar determines depth of cut.  
Figure 42. Pattern jig for making curved pieces.  
Irregular or freehand shaping takes a high degree  
of skill and dexterity. The fence assembly is not  
used during irregular shaping, so rub collars must  
be used. Also, unless your jig is designed to  
touch the rub collar before contacting the blade, a  
starting fixture must be used to begin your cut.  
When making a pattern jig here are a few things  
to consider:  
1. Build your jig from a material that will  
smoothly follow the rub collar or fence.

About starting fixtures:  
Miter Assembly  
The purpose of the starting fixture is to support  
the workpiece during the beginning of the cut.  
The workpiece is typically placed in the starting  
position using the starting fixture for support,  
Then swung into the cutter while holding the  
workpiece firmly against the starting fixture. After  
the cut has been started, the work is swung away  
from the starting fixture and is supported only by  
the rub collar. Always feed against the rotation  
of the cutter and do not start cuts at corners.  
When the workpiece is clamped to the table using  
the miter assembly, crosscuts can be made with  
a much greater degree of safety. The miter gauge  
can be adjusted to 60° in both directions. Figure  
43 shows the miter gauge set to 0° and Figure 44  
shows it at 45°. To adjust the miter fence:  
1. Loosen the miter gauge with the adjustment  
handle.  
To use your pattern jig:  
2. Assuming that you have performed the steps  
in the “Setting Miter Gauge” instructions, turn  
the miter gauge in the desired direction so  
the pointer indicates the angle, and tighten  
the miter gauge with the adjustment handle.  
1. Remove the fence assembly. Choose the  
appropriate cutter and rub collar for your  
application and lock them in place. Secure  
your workpiece to the pattern jig.  
2. Check cutter rotation, and adjust the spindle  
height to align the cutter to your workpiece.  
Clamp a starting fixture to the table surface,  
using the location that best supports your  
work.  
3. If everything is correct and the cutter is tight.  
Turn the shaper on.  
4. Place your jig/workpiece against the starting  
fixture. Using firm pressure, pivot the work-  
piece into the cutter and make sure the jig is  
touching the rub collar. Keep your jig in con-  
tact with the rub collar and slowly follow the  
pattern, moving against the cutter rotation.

Freehand Shaping  
Freehand methods are one of the most dan-  
gerous operations performed on a shaper.  
Although this machine is capable of performing  
freehand operations, we do not recommend that  
you attempt to do so. If you MUST perform free-  
hand operations, get formal training and read a  
book that details freehand operations, their inher-  
ent dangers, and ways to avoid those dangers!

The miter fence can be adjusted by loosening  
the two bolts that hold it to the miter gauge and  
then sliding it in the desired direction.  
Shaper Accessories  
The support fence slides up and down the miter  
fence and can be locked to hold the back of the  
workpiece in place.  
There are many accessories that can be built or  
purchased to increase the safety of the operator.  
Many experienced shaper users regularly use  
proven shop-made fences and safety guards to  
augment their shaping operations. In addition,  
many production shops routinely use power feed-  
ers with their shapers to streamline their opera-  
tions.  
The miter clamp holds the workpiece firm  
against the table and keeps it in position against  
all of the associated fences.  
To use the miter assembly:  
Here are some basic accessories and their uses:  
1. Determine the angle of cut and set the miter  
gauge to that angle, without tightening it yet.  
(The angle of the miter gauge should be  
determined by the angle of the workpiece  
you are about to shape.) Lock the miter  
gauge in place.  
Zero Clearance Fence — A shop-made  
fence with an opening only as large as the  
cutter, so that only the part of the cutter  
being used is exposed.  
Box Fence — A shop-made box that com-  
pletely surrounds the cutter. A one-piece  
fence is attached that allows only the thick-  
ness of the board to pass underneath, there-  
by completely shielding the operator from  
exposure to the spinning cutter. A clear plex-  
iglass window on top of the box allows the  
operator to view the workpiece during cut-  
ting.  
2. Move the infeed and outfeed fences out of  
the way. Hold the workpiece flush against  
the miter fence and slide the workpiece and  
table toward the cutter. Line the workpiece  
up with the cutter.  
3. Slide the support fence to the back of the  
workpiece and lock in place.  
4. Clamp the workpiece to the table with the  
miter clamp as shown in Figure 45.  
Power Feeder — A motorized unit that can  
be clamped or permanently mounted to the  
table of a shaper. A power feeder pulls the  
workpiece through the cut, reducing the risk  
of operator contact with the spinning cutter  
and reducing any injuries due to kickback.  
Because of the steady feed rate, power feed-  
ers can also produce cleaner, more consis-  
tent cuts. Check the current Grizzly catalog  
for available power feeders.  
5. The workpiece is now ready for the cut.  
Because of the wide range of fences and guards  
that can be built in the shop, explaining their con-  
struction is beyond the scope of this manual. We  
strongly recommend that you read shaper books,  
trade magazines, or get formal training to learn  
more about these.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE  
Lubrication  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
The only parts on this machine that require peri-  
odic lubrication are the ways where the cartridge  
slide rides on the elevation housing and where  
the worm gear and bushing are located. Use a  
light grease or anti-seizing compound on the  
ways and worm gear, and give the shaft mount a  
shot of light oil.  
ing any adjustments or  
maintenance. Failure to  
do this may result in seri-  
ous personal injury.  
General  
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model  
G8621 Shaper ensures its optimum performance.

you use it.  
V-Belt  
Check for the following conditions and repair or  
replace when necessary.  
Avoid getting grease or oil on the V-belt or pul-  
leys. Check the V-belt, as part of a monthly  
inspection for proper tension and belt condition.  
Cracking and glazing could result in belt failure.  
Replace the belt if such conditions appear.
