and one return stroke
- (D) No movement
5. The feed of shaper takes place

the direction of feed, pawl is to be rotated 180°
- (B) When shaping
'T' slot, the function of clapper box is not used
- (C) Pawl
mechanism of a shaper is a unit, which regulates the speed of rpm
- (D) When cutting
'T' slots in a shaper, clapper block need not to be lifted

kept stationary and the feed is given to the job
