Outboard fence for the shaper. What is it and why do i need it.

In this video, I explain what an outboard fence for a shaper is, how it works, and why you might want to use one on your shaper. An outboard fence is a simple but powerful setup that allows the user to make profile cuts that result in repeatable width pieces with no snipe, making it ideal for certain shaper operations and profiles. I walk through when an outboard fence makes sense, how it differs from a conventional shaper fence setup, and the types of cuts where it really shines. This includes situations where controlling the workpiece, improving cut quality, or simplifying your setup can make a big difference. Whether you’re working with molding profiles, curved parts, pattern work, or specific edge treatments, understanding outboard fence techniques can expand what your shaper is capable of. This video is aimed at woodworkers who want to get more versatility, control, and efficiency from their shaper setup. If you’re interested in woodworking machinery, shaper safety, shop setups, and getting the most out of your tools, this video will help you decide if an outboard fence belongs in your workflow. ✅ Subscribe for more woodworking tutorials, shop tips, and jig ideas 👍 Like and comment if this planer jig improves your workflow 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss new woodworking content ** If you want to say "thank you" then you can 'buy me a coffee' if you like. always appreciated but never expected, and with a personal thank you** https://buymeacoffee.com/brycecomerwo...
