Adam Oboe Shaper Tips - Wire EDM

These shaper tips are manufactured using wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining). See the explanation below to understand the quality differences between these and the milled shaper tips.

Caleb

Has slightly bigger throat and belly than the Joshua +4 and is the most "rectangular" looking tip of the Adam tips.

Joshua

Adam Shaper Tip's narrowest shape. The sides are virtually parallel at the top.

Ruth

This tip is a copy of a famous tip designed by Mr. Jerry Kaplan of Chicago.

Samson

The throat and belly are similar to the Joshua, but the chimney is flared very slightly.

Sara

This tip has the same throat as the Joshua, but with the belly and chimney taken in slightly.

The numbers added to the shaper names indicate a .025mm difference for every 1 number added or subtracted. For instance, the Caleb -1 is .025mm narrower in all measurements than the Caleb.

All shapers and shaper tips have a 30-day trial period. Compare several, choose one, and send back the rest for a full refund minus shipping. Returns after the 30-day trial period will be subject to a 10% restocking fee in addition to the cost of shipping, but must be returned in like new to new physical condition.

Manufacturing Method

Traditional shaper tip manufacturing involves cutting processes that typically result in a ±0.01mm margin of error in the finished tip size.

We offer a version of the Adam shaper tips created using wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining). It uses a different cutting process that improves accuracy to just ±0.001mm—that's 10x more accurate!

While wire EDM is incredibly accurate, it is also slow and expensive for manufacturing shaper tips. We believe wire EDM Adam shaper tips are worth the investment when you need a precise and consistent copy of the Adam shapes with unmatched accuracy.
