Shaping Machines – Still Essential in Modern Workshops

While the milling machine has largely superseded the shaping machine for many machining operations, the shaping machine continues to play a vital role, particularly in toolmaking and other specialist applications.

Its ability to cut keyways, slots, grooves, and internal shapes makes it an invaluable asset where precision and adaptability are required.

All Ajax shaping machines are CE & UKCA Marked, meeting strict safety and compliance standards.

Robust Design – Built to Last

All Ajax shaping machine models have been generously designed with durability in mind. The castings are heavily reinforced to prevent any risk of deformation during heavy-duty operations.

Every detail has been carefully engineered, especially the sliding surfaces, which are hardened for long service life and consistent precision.

Supplied as standard on all models:

  • Tool lifter
  • Lubrication pump to ensure optimal lubrication of all moving parts, particularly the ram slideway
  • Multi-plate clutch for smooth and reliable operation

These features combine to make the Ajax shaping machines a reliable and enduring solution for precision shaping tasks.
