Shaper 101 Recalibration of Shaper Cutter on Format 4 Profile 45Z

[@justcruisin109]

Hi Steve - always fun setting up new cutters, especially center-referenced cutters like glue joint and lock miter cutters. I find the center position very useful for 40mm profile knives as their pattern is often centered on the knife so being able to use the midpoint makes alignment easy. Cheers

justcruisin109 - I don't have a glue joint cutter but you are absolutely correct on the lock miter and the universal cutterheads using the center reference. No setup blocks for me as they are only good for one thickness of stock. Have a great day. Steve

Thank you Steve, I have to watch this a few more times but I did not even know you could set up to the center of a cutter. I am struggling with set ups on my Profil but this should help me a lot. Any chance you could do one about programming and saving the cutters in the library? That Is another place I am having problems. Thank you.

Hi Glen. Maybe but machine specific setups do not get many views. What problems are you having with the setup? Steve
