The Delta 43-455 high-speed production shaper has the ability to use seven different spindle sizes and a router spindle to handle a wide variety of tasks. The shaper includes a 1-1/4 inch solid spindle. A 5 HP totally enclosed fan-cooled motor provides the muscle to handle demanding tasks such as panel raising. The drive mechanism is a single, self-contained unit consisting of the spindle, motor, housing, raising and lowering mechanism. This assembly is mounted directly to the underside of the 30 inch x 27 inch cast iron table for perfect 90° alignment. A 10 inch table extension is included for extra surface area and support. The micro adjustable fence increases the accuracy of cutting. Both the fence halves can be adjusted independently for ultimate precision and safety in all cutting operations.
The spindle, housing, motor, raising and lowering mechanism are a single self-contained unit, securely assembled to the underside of the table for absolute 90° spindle-to-table alignmentPoly V-Drive System transmits more efficient torque to the spindleThe rugged drive spindle assembly and permanently lubricated ball bearings are preloaded to prevent distortion at high speeds which assures accurate, chatter-free shapingMassive 30 inch x 27 inch table (with standard cast-iron extension wings) provides extra support for shaping large work - Also, a precision ground face and ribbed under-table-construction prevents warping
