A wide variety of reciprocating machines are available to most businesses, allowing them to complete machine operations on relatively minor jobs. For smaller jobs with less material, shapers, broaches, and planners are the tools of choice for machining. These machines are perfect for milling intricate patterns into tiny areas, whether they’re flat, angled, grooving, or any combination of these. Only the forward stroke removes the materials from the work. Making the product takes longer due to the increased machining time. A compact twin shaper machine is created to address this issue by simultaneously shaping two work parts. This machine can remove material from two work pieces at once and has two directions of ram action. The result is a boost in output with a decrease in machining time.
