Many years ago, we used three different size shapers for rough removal of stock.
Here are photos of a tool I ground and used on a 48"? shaper.
To the best of my memory, this particular 5/8--Rex49 tool bit was used to remove stock on a 36" bar of cold rolled steel.
Hard to tell from photos but I think machine was set on .040 feed for a cut of app. 5/8"
This really stressed the old shaper, but that's what the boss wanted!
