Description
Selecting the right rub collar is how you set depth of cut on the shaper without moving the fence. This Freeborn Mini-Pro ball-bearing rub collar fits the 3/4″ bore spindle and carries a 1-5/8″ outside diameter — the smallest in the Mini-Pro lineup — keeping the cutter’s cut circle close to the collar’s running face. That minimal offset suits tight inside-edge profiles, narrow stile work, and any operation where the cutter must track close to the material surface. The sealed ball-bearing race keeps the collar free-spinning at shaper speed, protecting template and fence faces from friction marks and heat. Freeborn machines these collars to close bore tolerances, so the fit on the 3/4″ spindle is consistent and low-runout. The depth you establish at setup holds through every piece in the run. Pair with the corresponding cutter in the Freeborn Mini-Pro catalog for a matched depth setup.
