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.

Sash and Door Shaping

Shaping a door requires two operations.

Figure 53 shows the sash cut for the first operation.

Figure 54 shows the stock flipped over and the sash cutter used with a 1/4 inch groove cutter to complete the cut.

Figure 55 shows the first shaping cut with the sash cutter for the matching door stile sash.
