The principle for which this shaper is particularly noted Isthat of the drawing cut, whereby the thrust of the cut isplaced directly against the column of the machine, therebyhaving a tendency of drawing the bearings closer together andmaking the machine more accurate. The construction of themachine is such that it will work close to a line and will re-verse at the extremity of its stroke without shock or jar.
