CRANK CHAPER MACHINE

TYPE OF SHAPER MACHINE

These are the most prevalent types of shaper machines
Following are the different types of shaper machines. used to hold the workpiece on the table.

angle, either to the left or to the right.
 Angular or Irregular Cutting Operation- Any
angle other than a straight angle to the
horizontal or vertical plane is considered an
angular cut.

HORIZONTAL SHAPER MACHINE

The ram of these

shaper machines is
reciprocating. The
ram reciprocates
while holding the
tool in a horizontal
axis. This shaper is
used to create flat
surfaces, external
grooves, keyways, and so on.

UNIVERSAL SHAPER MACHINE

this type of shaper machine can move in an inclined axis

and swivel on its own axis. The shaper is called
"Universal" because the workpiece positioned on it may
be changed in multiple planes. This shaper is frequently
used in tool room operations.

PUSH CUT SHAPER MACHINE

The metal is removed in these shaper machines as the

ram moves ahead. This is one of the most prevalent
types of shaper machines.

DRAW CUT SHAPER MACHINE

The metal is removed in these shaper machines by

moving the ram backward. The tool in this shaper is
positioned in the tool head in the reverse direction,
providing cutting action during the ram's reverse stroke.

SHAPER MACHINE OPERATION

 Vertical Cutting Operation - When machining a

workpiece's end, squaring up a block, or
shaping a shoulder, a vertical cut is produced.
 Horizontal Cutting Operation- The work
installed on the machine table is moved in a
cross direction with regard to the ram
movement to machine horizontal surfaces.
 Inclined Cutting – The work is placed on the
table, and the tooth head's vertical slide is
