Shaper List

Variety of Forms

In order to guarantee absolute symmetry, we manufacture our straight shapers using the latest CNC technology. Through complex hardening processes, the contour remains unchanged cut by cut – for years to come.

For clarity the measurements have been rounded to the nearest 0.1 mm.

    • To aid in your choice of shaper we have provided several of the most crucial measurements. A1 and A2 are provided for those who measure based on the folded state or the actual straight shaper.
