Abstract: A twin mounted double sided reciprocating shaping mechanism is provided which is formed in the shape of an acute isosceles triangle whereby the bottom is opened to the ground and each cutting mechanism is bent or deformed along the longitudinal axis to form to a conical shape when rotated about the center axis of the isosceles triangle. The twin mounted double sided reciprocating shaping mechanism is adapted to be used for cutting and shaping and forming trees, bushes and the like in the contour of a cone. Sets of cutting and shaping elements are suspended from a frame, and wherein the cutter and shaping elements can shape trees and the like in the form of a cone.
