Abstract: A woodworking shaper head having a plurality of cutting blades mounted about the periphery thereof. Each cutting blade is mounted in a longitudinally extending channel in the surface of the head, and a gib of wedge shape is disposed in the channel to securely retain the blade. The forwardly facing side wall of the channel and the adjacent surface of the blade include intermeshing corrugations which resist withdrawal of the blade during operative rotation of the head.
