Machine tools refer to power devices used to process work pieces and are important equipment in the manufacturing process of mechanical parts. Machine tools are generally used for forming, cutting, and joining other tools.

A shaper is a type of machine tool that uses the linear relative motion between the workpiece and a single-point cutting tool to machine a linear toolpath. Its cut is analogous to that of a lathe, except that it is (archetypally) linear instead of helical.

Understand the structure of shaper machines, each part is combined into a complete shaper machine.

Let us understand what is a planer and planer? Planers and planers are applications of cutting tools, both of which are common types of machine tools in the machine tool industry.
