The cutter set should always be used with one of the available 1/2-inch Shopsmith Shaper Arbors. Cutters are always mounted to the arbor using the special tongue washer and nut that comes with the arbor. Usually, the two smallest rub collars (included with the Arbor) are also used in the setup...one above your cutters and another below them.
Always mount the cutters so they rotate in a clockwise direction (when viewed from the top), with the edge bevels trailing the cutting edges (See Figure 5). Always slip the Arbor through the cutters from the RIGHT side, based on Figures 3 & 4.
For the best results, be sure the cutting edges of all cutters are staggered (mis-aligned) prior to tightening the arbor nut securely.
Shaper Fence Set-Up -- Mount the Shaper Fence to your MARK V work table. Adjust the infeed and outfeed halves of the fence (right-to-left) to leave a minimum opening for the cutter. Rotate the cutter by hand to check this clearance. (CAUTION: Be sure your machine is unplugged before doing this!)
When mounted properly, the infeed and outfeed halves of the fence should be parallel with each other . . . and the entire fence (both halves) should be parallel with your Miter Gauge slot.
