Abstract: A tool stand including a vertical support panel with a horizontal work-supporting table mounted for vertical adjustment thereon. The support panel horizontally mounts a power router with the router bit overlying the table. An elongate retainer rail mounts on the table outward of the bit, and a finger guard mounts on the rail and extends inwardly therefrom in overlying relation to the bit. The retainer rail is adjustable on the table for varying the width of the work area between the rail and the support panel. The guard is spring-biased to an extended position overlying the bit for selective retraction thereof as may be required upon the introduction of a workpiece.

Abstract: A wood shaper utilizing multiple vertical cutting shaper assemblies mounted on the opposed end portions of a horizontal shaft. Each shaper assembly has, to the opposite sides thereof, an elongate guide fence and an elongate finger guard selectively adjustable relative to each other and the shaper assembly therebetween. Each guide fence mounts a pair of horizontal support bars for independent vertical adjustment relative to each other. The support bars align with the intake and discharge sides of the associated shaper assembly. As a variation, a second commonly driven horizontal shaft can be provided parallel to the first shaft. The second shaft will mount, at one end thereof, a third vertical shaper assembly received between an elongate guide fence with dual support bars and a laterally adjustable finger guard.
