Hello,
Are you using a straight shaping machine? You say that the measurements are identical - did you measure the shaped cane or the template?
The template for a straight shaping machine will be quite a lot narrower than the corresponding shaper tip. For instance, I have a Michel 725 tip and a straight template which produces very similar cane. While the Michel is 7.25 mm wide, the RC12 is around 7.0 mm wide. Strange indeed, but I've seen an explanation, I think on Robindeshautbois' web site.
