Powermatic 2700 manual Special Cuts, Stacked Cutters, Sash and Door Shaping

Special Cuts

The illustrations in this section show the profile, or section, views made by the cutter(s). The most efficient cutters are carbide tipped to ensure clean and long-term cutting. Small cutters may be solid carbide, and some use inserts. Since there are such a wide variety of choices, the operator is limited only by his experience and imagination.

Stacked Cutters

A variety of interesting and timesaving cuts can be made in a single setup by stacking the cutters. When the operator stacks the cutters, extra care should be taken to see that all parts are clean, free of nicks and flaws, and perfectly balanced in the stacked position.
