ABSTRACT:
A spindle shaper machine tool successively performs a plurality of operations on a work piece without removal and replacement of cutter heads on the spindle. The cutter heads are superimposed on the spindle, a fluid pressure jack quickly shifts the spindle to align a selected head with a work piece and the work piece is either manually or automatically advanced across the rotating selected tool. In the automatic shaper tool, a collar bearing stop for each cutter head is also provided on the spindle to abut the work piece or a template controlling the cutting of the work piece. The jack can be manually actuated by the operator or automatically actuated at the completion of a cutting cycle. Various combinations of cutter heads and bearing stop sets are mountable on the spindle to perform selected operations such as rough and finishing cuts, heavy-duty and light cuts, cutting and sanding, adding or modifying cuts and the like.
