Although the planer and shaper are able to machine flat surfaces,there is not much overlapping in their fields of usefulness. They differ widely in construction and in the method of operation. When two machines are compared the following differences may be seen:
1. The planer is especially adapted to large work; the shaper can do only small work.
2. On the planer the work is moved against a stingray tool; on the shaper the tool moves across the work which is stationary.
3. On the planer the tool is fed into the work; on the shaper the work is usually fed across the tool.

Planner and Shaper, both are analogous, but with slight difference. Planner is larger, and the whole workpiece moves beneath the tool, while in shaper cutter moves above the stationary workpiece.
enough difference between lathe machine and shaper lathe machine in use to turning boring and in lathe machine object move and shaper operation is that in shaper forward and backword operation for use and shaper makes gear, key ,slots
what are advantages and disadvantages of shapper machine
Machine shaper are practically used in shaping materials. The parts of the machine shaper are Ram, Table, Clapper Box, Tool head, Cross rail, Stroke Adjustment, Column, Base and Table supports.
A Shaping machine is a machine tool used for the following operations done with help of a single point cutting tool of appropriate size and shape. producing horizontal,vertical and angular surface. for cutting slots ,grooves and keyways. machine contour to be concave,convex and a combination of both. machine splines,ratchets and gears using an indexing device. due to the avaiability of sophisticated machine tools,a shaper is now used only for machining jobs with wider dimensional limits in small and medium industries.
