This invention relates to shapers and planers, and more particularly to certain new and useful improvements designed for controlling the movement of a tool or bit employed for cutting and shaping the periphery of wheels. The invention aims to provide a novel shaper or planer wherein positive and reliable means are employed for effecting the accurate and unswerving cutting of surfaces upon a wheel or similar structure, said means including a traveling contour or pattern. The invention in its entirety primarily involves in combination with certain parts of a shaper or planer, certain mechanisms for laterally guiding the movement of a tool post, whereby the tool carried by said post will be moved to cut various surfaces as a piece of work is revolved in engagement with the tool. Upon the basis of this combination, the invention comprehends a movable contour or pattern set in the machine to accurately guide the tool in a lateral plane, while other mechanism are provided for moving the tool in a vertical plane, whereby the peripheral flange and tread of a wheel can be expeditiously and economically cut to a desired shape and size. To this end, the invention aims to automatically accomplish what has been heretofore manually performed by the use of gages and templets thus dispensing with the employment of a skilled attendant for the machine, and eliminating the prerequisites of carefulness and precision heretofore essential in cutting and trimming car wheels.
