Gents, it is all down to experience. I only had short times operating a shaper and run into the same problems you are doing, but the lads who did it all the time never had any troubles at all. It might sound a bit cavalier, but they wouldn't allow the machine to chatter, it cost them money. They just did a little tweak and away it would go totally chatter free. That little tweak took years of experience.

For the amount you will be using the machine, don't ever expect to get every cut perfect, you will never have enough experience. Just do the best you can in your allotted span.

Thank you John but I have only a limited number of years to devote to this but the magic solution must be out there!

Hi John

Not a lot of experience on shapers grinding was my speciality, but from what i can remember of watching my mates on the shapers they use to run them with lots of top rake on the tools, we were on piecework in them days so time was money, they didn't mess around as John said, they would take some big cuts 1/8" was a small cut.

Hope this gets you going in the right direction.

Cheers

John Hill:
Now way is Sally Shaper ever going to be able to take 1/8" cuts off anything, 'cept maybe a block of stale cheddar. :)

Darren:
Off the top off my head I seem to remember that mine could cope with about 1mm ok. Prob more, but I'd have to try it to make sure.
