This intermediate woodworking class will take students through the process of making a cabinet using several woodworking machines, including our 3HP Grizzly Shaper. The class will work together as a cohort to build one cabinet with a raised panel door.

Topics covered:

Safe use of the Shaper, its collets, and cutters
Use of woodshop equipment such as the router, table saw, and miter saw
Cabinet-making skills

What is a Shaper?
In woodworking, a shaper is used to shape the edges of stock wood. In contrast to a router's bit, shapers have a rotating cutter mounted on a spindle that the user manually feeds the stock against. The cutter head has multiple cutting edges and rotates at high speeds. Shapers are more powerful and flexible than routers, and can make larger cuts in one pass with less splitting and tearout.

Prerequisites: This is not a class for beginners! Prior woodworking experience or successful completion of our Intro to Woodworking class is required. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at info (at) hackpittsburgh (dot) org.
