Definately running backwards. The crank should be on the top half of the crank wheel during the cutting stroke. Because the distance the crank travels the closer it gets to the fulcrum is shorter the speed is therefore increased.

Do you realise that your shaper is wired backwards and is running in reverce ?

that ram should advance slowly and reurn fast...

you are likely getting no lube in your system...

as the punp is in reverce too.!!!

@sspanzerace Does the Cincinnati shaper cut metal? Yes. Easily. Therefore it fulfills its purpose. If you can't make a tool work the way you want it to, then you're dealing with lack of skills not a sh*tty machine.

@ridemyrice

said "You can see the tool slightly lift as it returns faster so as the tool is not damaged, and also watch the chip roll off the tool- which direction does this happen??? Forward."

I believe that would happen in either case. If the bull gear is turned in reverse the ram sitll move back forth and the clapper still behaves the same way. However I believe the is something like 40% more force placed on the gear driving mechanisms and very little gain in production speed. Not wise.

有问题吧？应该是前进时慢，后退时快。

@douro20 Tracer attachment.

Could you imagine having to learn how to generate a profile on one of these? The dies for making Mono flatware are still made on manual shapers!

Sua Plaina está com o sentido de giro do motor invertido, repare que o braço faz o corte quando o excêntrico está em baixo, repare que o corte está mais rápido do que o recuo

That brings back memories. There was an identical machine in a shop I used to work in. Those machines were built to last forever. Some smart guys in upper mgmt decided the shop wasn't needed so they gutted the place.

il me semble peut etr que je me trompe mais il tourne a l'envers cet etaux limeur????

You have got this machine running backwards, the bullwheel should turn the other direction, your cutting stroke is fast and return stroke is slow this is backwards also you have no power on cutting stroke, your power now is on return stroke, you could damage machine with heavy cut, reverse any two of your 3 phase wires to reverse motor rotation

EXCELENTE VIDEO, pero el motor de la máquina esta conectado eléctricamente en sentido contrario, notese el avance en :28 en adelante, el avance es más rápido que el retroceso, y debe ser al contratrio, pueden revisar los diagramas de velocidades "cutting stroke" en formas de parábolas, por lo demas saludos desde VENEZUELA, y digo esto porque tengo toda la vida trabajando con estas máquinas, tengo una cincinnati viejisima, saludos papá por enseñarme a trabajar. TE QUIERO.
