Explain angular shaping with neat sketch.
In this shaper machine operation, an angular cut is done at any angle other than a right angle to the horizontal or to the vertical plane. The work is set on the table and the vertical slide of the tooth head is swiveled to the required angle either towards the left or towards right from the vertical position.
The apron is then further swiveled away from the work so that the tool will clear the work during the return stroke. The down feed is given by rotating the down feed screw. The angular surface can also be machined in a universal shaper or by using a universal vice without swiveling the tool head.
