Shaper Cutters question

raised panel cutters, and door stiles are what i used most. I also did a lot of ship lapping.

I use a wide array of profile and cope sets as well as fluting, beading, panel raisers , table edge and door edge profiles. I have others including tounge and groove but the aforementioned are the most used for me.

A power feeder is a nice thing to have.

In addition to the standard raised panel bits, I have a Freud Multi-profile cutter that is great for custom mouldings.
All the different profile cutters you can afford would be nice too. Rabbeting cutters and round-overs are handy as well.

I agree with Loren on the feeder.

Cove and bead cutters / round overs (~12 in the collection of different sizes) get the most use for me. I like doing my own molding for projects.
I now have a few door sets that I’ve acquired over the years.
A reversible glue joint cutter, great for making wide panels

My shaper is 1 1/2hp, so I’m a bit jealous. I normally need to make multiple passes to get the job done.

Nice find. Have fun with your new toy!

I use my lock miter cutter a lot. It is great for cabinet and fernature construction..There is no end grain showing at the corners.

Some great suggestions to help me put together a shopping list. Not having used a shaper before, I figured LJs would help me build a useful ‘tool chest’.
Loren, perhaps the next honeydo project my wife asks me to build for her I can use the phrase, “I could build that IF I had a power feeder for my shaper”

Any other LJs have other cutter suggestions?
