Harvey Woodworking Shaper
I recently upgraded my router setup to a shaper by Harvey Woodworking! This is the 3hp HW303 shaper and does not disappoint! First of the black, red, and gold are just a thing of beauty 🤤! It literally took me a week to even make my first cut on it because I didn’t want to get it dirty lol! But as good as it looks, it’s was made to get dirty and dusty! I’m currently transitioning my business from custom furniture to custom cabinetry and one of the biggest things you need to have in order to make custom cabinetry is a shaper. The shaper is used for a number of different things, but I think I’m pretty positive that they are mostly used for cabinet door setups. Most shops have multiple shapers so that they don’t have switch profiles bits when making cabinet doors. It typically takes 3 different bits to make a raised panel door, so for right now I’ll be switching out bits every time until I buy two more shapers!
Here is a link to check out all the specs on this shaper!

Bro just watch some KZread videos on how to use this machine safely but keep up the good work
Once you get over the fear of using this machine, it will open doors you didn't even know were there! Just wait till you do a large radius piece with a profile on a bearing, like a serpentine front. One addition you might want to look into, a power feeder. They get your hands away from the cutters and actually give better results than pushing by hand. Safety wise, feed wheels are way cheaper than any hospital visit!
Hi Nolan, You can do what you want with the 3hp shaper in 2 passes. I have a delta 3hp shaper. Try using bits from amana or bits from whitehead. Those bits are extremely sharp and last a long time. Also try using shaper cutter heads. Good luck with your new toy.
That’s a beastly looking shaper. Also terrifying. Dun know if my pucker factor is ready for such large router bits
Awesome tool man! Congrats on the new tool! Love seeing your shop come together! Thanks for sharing and continuing to move my goal line....lol
Wait till you try some shaper cutters instead of router bits…
You'll definitely made great use of it. A fantastic addition to your workshop tools!
Why not use the featherboards? They're there. They add safety and prevent lifting?
It’s a beautiful-looking machine. I can’t wait to see more of what you do with this tool.
I have that shaper too! It is def a beastZ
Great Video. Awesome to see your progress with your videos.
Awesome video. Looks like a great machine. Thanks for this. May pick one up soon!
How is the noise level on this machine. What is louder...the machine or the bit cutting the wood?
Wait so can it take 1/2" and 1/4" router bits?
Hot pancakes! I may be needing one! Or two lol
Great Video. Awesome to see your progress with your videos.
