Vertical shaper machine is also known as slotter in a workshop but the fundamental difference between vertical shaper and slotter is that the frame of vertical shaper is fixed and cannot be tilted whereas the frame of slotter can be tilted at any angle. The small angle may be given to tool to the vertical shaper but if larger deviation is required then slotter is required. The ram of slooter reciprocates in vertical direction. It is used to cut the slot vertically. The construction detail and driving mechanism is very similar to shaper machine.
