Coping and profile cutting and/or sanding apparatus

An apparatus for shaping a body of material, comprising:

• (a) a plurality of members of material,
• (b) first means for enabling each of said plurality of members of material to be moved in a linear direction within a plurality of contiguous respective planes so that said members can assume a plurality of predetermined configurations, and
• (c) second means for moving said plurality of members of material in a predetermined direction so that said plurality of members of material will engage said body of material,
• (d) each of said plurality of members of material having at least one section which contains a cutting surface, and at least one other section which has a surface to which an abrasive material is affixed.

The apparatus for shaping a body or material, comprising:

• (a) a plurality of members of material,
• (b) means for positioning said plurality of members of material in a plurality of predetermined configurations so that said plurality of members of material form a surface with a predetermined shape,
• (c) means for reciprocating said plurality of members of material so that when said plurality of members of material and a body of material are engaged, said body of material is shaped to a shape which matches said predetermined shape,
• (d) each of said plurality of members of material having at least one section which contains a cutting surface and at least one other section which has a surface to which an abrasive material is affixed.
