I've got a 1992 Woodtec 3 HP shaper (bought at a vo-tech school auction for
$25). While it appears in pretty good shape with just a little rust on the
cabinet, it did not include a manual or a fence. It did include three spindels
and some various parts that I cannot identify. I would like to find a manual
and maybe a source for a fence and/or any other needed parts. The plate
included the following info:
Woodtec 803646
Date Code: Aug 1992
Serial Number 1021029
R 26841
Made in Tiawan
220 volt, 60 Hrz, 1 Phase
Any help or info as to where I can get parts and a manual would be appreciated.

I've got a 1992 Woodtek 3 HP shaper . While it appears in decent shape
with just a little rust on the cabinet, it did not include a manual, a
fence, the spindle raising handwheel or the allen wrench that turns
the internal bolt that holds the arbors in the spindle. It did include
three spindels, a router collet(but nothing that tells me how to
install and use it) and some various parts that I cannot identify.
Woodworkers Warehouse sent me a manual, but man is it sparse - almost
not worth having. Even the exploded diagram did not have any
descriptions of the parts or part numbers. Anyway, I would like to get
a source for some replacement parts and WWW doesn't seem to be the
place to talk to right now. The manual says it was made by a company
called Champ Fond Machinery Company in I assume Tiawan. I assume that
this is pretty much a private branded version of a machine various
companies sold. Someone mentioned Bridgewood as maybe having sold the
same or similar units, but their web site did not have any parts info.
I need a source for a fence. It also needs the large allen wrench that
turns the bolt up in the spindle that holds in the arbors (I just need
the size for this - it is way bigger than my largest allen wrenches,
I'd say something in the neighborhood of 1/2 to 5/8ths inch or the
metric equivalents). The handwheel is also missing - I assume if I
measure the shaft I can get one of these somewhere, although the
prices in the Reid catalog seem extreme. The plate included the
following info:
Woodtek 803646
Date Code: Aug 1992
Serial Number 1021029
R 26841
Made in Tiawan
220 volt, 60 Hrz, 1 Phase
Anyone who can help with some info on this machine, any other "brands"
that are the same and/or whether there are after-market sources for
parets to fit this would be appreciated. Thanks to mklange for sending
me a copy of his manual for his newer Woodtek 3 hp. It was similar and
more detailed than the 1992 version ;)

Is it "Woodtec" or "Woodtek"? If the latter, contact Woodworkers'
Supply of NM (<www.woodworker.com>) 1-800-645-9292. Woodtek is their
house brand.

Woodtek is the house brand of an outfit called Woodworker's Supply;
web site is www.woodworker.com . They should be able to help, no?
