The wood being fed into a moulder is commonly referred to as either stock or blanks. One may also ask, what does a wood Moulder do?Ī wood shaper, usually just shaper in North America or spindle moulder or just moulder in the UK, is a stationary woodworking machine in which a vertically oriented spindle drives cutter heads to mill profiles on wood stock. Because of its greater power, shaper cutters can be more complex in its profile cutter.
Tooling - A shaper is essentially a much more powerful router. Shapers have a spindle that accepts a cutter head that slides onto the spindle.Īlso, can a shaper use router bits? Router bits can be used with most shapers. Router tables use router bits that have a shank permanently attached to the cutter and a router mounted under the table. The biggest difference between the two is the type of cutter they use and how they are powered. People also ask, what is the difference between a router and a shaper?
Shapers are used more often in industrial woodworking shops, and I do almost all my machining of wood with a really good, well-built router table. It does the same thing but can take larger cuts - both in depth and height - in one pass. A shaper typically has a much larger motor and spindle.
