Explanation:

A shaper is a reciprocating type of machine tool intended primarily to produce horizontal, vertical or inclined flat surfaces.

In the shaper, the cutting tool has a reciprocating motion and it cuts only during the forward stroke only. The work is held in a vice bolted to the work table.

On a standard shaper the following operations can be performed:

a) Machining of vertical surfaces

b) Machining of horizontal surfaces

c) Machining of angular surfaces

d) Machining of curved surfaces

e) Machining of irregular surfaces

f) Machining of slots and keyways 

Hence Duplex cutting can not be performed in a shaper machine.
