The Microplane Rotary Shaper rotates clockwise.

Materials being fed into the shaper should be fed left of center to reduce kickback.

Where are these tools made?

The blades are made in Russellville, Arkansas. The tools are molded and assembled at our plant in Mexico.

• Use on wood, plastic, sheetrock, rubber, and similar materials.
• Use as an alternative to coarse sandpaper
• Use to remove saw marks from edges or bumps from band saw cuts.
• Great for planing a door for better fit.
