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
