TopHat Shaft Shapers set of 3

The TopHat Shaft Shaper Tool is for compressing an oversized shaft so the finish will not be marred when installing points and to allow the points to go on easier.

The tool base is preferably mounted in a battery powered drill but a mains powered drill is fine if it has a slow variable speed capability.

Then screw the selected Shaft Shaper insert into the tool base and insert into the drill chuck.

Gently spin the drill at a slow but controlled speed and apply pressure to the shaft.

Once you can go no further on the shaft, the taper is complete and with the drill still spinning, remove the tool from the shaft.

The Shaft Shaper Tool compresses slightly larger wooden shafts to the exact size needed for a proper fit of TopHat screw on points and adapters.

The TopHat Shaft Shaper Set includes

• one tool base
• 5-16" sizing insert
• 11-32" sizing insert
• 23-64" sizing insert
• Inserts are differentiated by grooves on the spline of the insert, 1 groove signifies 5-16", 2 grooves 11-32", 3 grooves 23-64"
