There are so many Tools required in shaper machines depend upon working requirement or you can say Machining requirement. Some of the machining requirements mentioned below:
- Machining of horizontal surfaces
- Machining of vertical surfaces
- Machining of Angular services
- Machining of curved surfaces
- Machining of irregular surfaces
- Machining of slots, grooves, and keyways
The cutting tools of shaper machine and lathe machine are almost similar but the difference only in for side and front clearances
The tools of shaper are in less side and front clearances due to the work feed into it whereas the tool of lathe machine is regularly feeding into the work.
The various types of cutting tools required in shaping work
Shaper work required high-speed cutting tools, in machining for very removing hard metals example chilled cast iron and some special types of hard steel, die steel. The Life of High-speed steel tools will be very short as compare to carbide tipped tools.
