There are two types of Shapers:
-Horizontal shapers
-Vertical shapers
Horizontal Shaping Machine
There are several part of horizontal shaper:-
1. Base-a part of column,is a heavy casting that supports all the major component parts of the machine.(Also call as foundation)
2. Column-is a hollow(to contain motor) casting mounted on the base,housing the operating mechanisms that can drive the ram
3. Table-is fastened to ways that move on the horizontal ways of the cross rail.To support extends from the outer surface of the table to the base and is used on some larger shapers to support the weight of the table
4. Ram-is a heavy casting that can reciprocates on the ways of the column.Ram movement can be obtained either hydraulically or mechanically on crank-type shapers.
5. Toolhead- is stick to the front of the ram and can be swiveledd for machining angular cuts.It have the toolpost and toolholder that can hold the cutting tool.
=============================================================
Vertical Shaping Machine(Slotting Machine)
The operation of vertical shaper is similar to the horizontal crank-type shaper.The diferent of the two shapers is the vertical position of the ram.A obvious advantage of the vertical shaper is that the cutting pressure or thrust is against a table bed,so there is no possibility of deflection of the worktable.Besides that,the table bed can be moved in three directions which is longitudinally,laterally, and with a 360 degree rotary motion.The versatility of the rotary table permits the vertical shaping machine to machine internal and external keyways,slots,splines,gears, and intricate die forms.

I found the very useful information. it describes everything very transparently many thanks.
Although gear shaper cutters are designed to cut any type of gear in spur or helical and can cut internal or external, you can place an order for different cutter depending on the rest of the components you want to use it with.
