shaper (plural shapers)

   • 1876, James Russell Lowell, Among My Books:Second Series, Dante

     The secret of those old shapers died with them.

2. A machine tool in which a single-point cutting tool mounted on a reciprocating ram is traversed across the workpiece linearly. Shapers can generate various shapes, but were most especially employed in generating flat surfaces and keyways.

2. A large machine tool in which the workpiece is traversed linearly (by means of a reciprocating bed) beneath a single-point cutting tool.

The planer is nowadays obsolescent, having been mostly superseded by large milling machines.
