The original
COPECRAFTER was designed by RELIABLE to complement the
PANELCRAFTER for the shop that is attempting to obtain
higher production. Tenoning has always presented a
holding problem, as the material to be cut is invariable
narrow and cross grained. The
Copecrafter comes equipped with two clamping cylinders
for superior holding.
TWO methods of guiding the
Copecrafter in a longitudinal plane across the shaper
table:
#1 A straight, Plexiglas template
to guide on the vertical wood shaper fence or rub collar.
#2 A
3/4" wide steel bar that attaches to the base of the
Copecrafter with two allen cap screws to guide in the
miter slot on the saper table top.
SAFETY: The material is clamped to
the Copecrafter by means of two powerful air cylinders.
With all "Crafter" family units, the operator's
hands are away from the cutting tools.
EASE OF OPERATION: The air
flotation on the bottom of the copecrafter makes the unit
very easy to guide across the shaper table top. Actually
converts an ordinary shaper into a sliding table shaper,
with the addition of the Copecrafter. Use to cut rails
for rapid production.
