SHAPER & PLANER

Sr.Lecturer/STC
SHAPER
• The shaper is a reciprocating type of machine
tool intended primarily to produce flat surfaces.

• Flat surfaces may be horizontal, vertical or


inclined

• In general the shaper can produce any surface


composed of straight line elements.

• Modern shapers can produce contoured surface


Classification of Shapers
• Shapers are classified according to generals
features of design & purpose
Parts of a Standard Shaper
Shaper Mechanism

1. Crank and slotted link mechanism

2. Withworth quick return mechanism

PLANING MACHINES
PLANER
• Planer is like a shaper, primarily intended to
produce flat surfaces.

• Compared to shaper, planer is a very large and


massive and capable of machining heavy work
pieces which cannot be accommodated on a
shaper table
TYPES OF PLANERS
According to the design, shapers are classified as
under:
1. Double housing planer
2. Open side planer
3. Pit planer
4. Edge or pit planer
5. Divided table planer.

Differences between a shaper and
a planer
SN Shaper Planer
1 Tool holding ram reciprocates past the Table holding the work reciprocates past
stationery work stationery cutting tool.
2 Single point cutting tool Single point cutting tool
3 Only one tool at a time can be used Multiple single point cutting tools can be
used at a time with double or four tool
heads
4 Meant for smaller jobs (Max size of work Meant for bigger jobs (Max size of work
900mmx900mmx900mm) 3000mmx3000mmx 18500mm)

5 Overall rigidity of the machine is less Overall rigidity of the machine is more
6 Accuracy is comparatively less as tool is Accuracy is high as the tool is rigidly
held on overhanging ram supported and work moves on precision
ways
7 Due to smaller size consumes less power Due to larger size consumes more power
10 to 15 hp upto 150hp
Differences between a shaper and
a planer
SN Shaper Planer

8 Shaper is suitable for small and medium Planer is suitable for heavy jobs of
jobs of smaller quantities larger quantities of identical pieces.

9 Rate of machining is slow Rate of machining is faster

10 Work setting is easy and takes less time Work setting is complex requires skill
and takes more time.

11 Cutting and return speed varies along the Cutting and return speed almost
length of the stroke uniform along the length of the stroke

12 Relatively shapers are smaller, lighter and Planers are larger, heavier and costlier
costs less.

13 Tools used are relatively delicate Tools used are robust
