Thread: Shaper cutters for picture frames

    Shaper cutters for picture frames

    I need to make several large picture frames that will be up to 3" wide. I'd like to make the stock in one pass on the shaper including the back cut. Can someone recommend a combination of cutters that will make a nice frame and do the back cut?

    It is a physical impossibility to cut more than one of the four sides of a piece of stock in the same pass on a shaper. It will take two passes: one for the profile and one for the rabbet. As for the profile you have the choice of perusing catalogs until you find something you like or buying a moulding head and buying stock or custom knives for it.
