Wood ShaperA wood shaper is a stationary woodworking machine in which a spindle spins at high speeds. A router bit is mounted on the spindle. As the workpiece is fed into the machine, the router bit cuts a profile into it. Wood shapers do essentially the same job as wood routers, with the main difference being that a wood shaper is a stationary machine designed for larger volume work while a router is a hand tool. Wood shapers come in two main variants: one with the spindle on the side, so the bit cuts into the workpiece from the side, and one where the spindle assembly is mounted in the bottom of the table, so the bit cuts into the bottom of the workpiece. Of these two, the latter is more common. On some shaper models the spindle can be tilted.
