I've got a cabinet shop, been in the business for almost 10 years and suddenly I've got 2 potential jobs that want beaded face frames. One has 94 doors and drawer fronts. So I bought (luckily found one) a new, discontinued, Kreg PRS1200 system. It comes with router bits for the bead. I'd like to use my shaper. I bought a bead cutter but the flat part above the bead is much larger than the router bit. Router bit is 1/16, shaper is 5/32. I think it would all function, depending on setup, but I really don't want that huge gap next to the bead. I've looked for a shaper cutter with a similar profile to the bit, but they all seem to be like the cutter I have.
Now the question. Is it a horrible idea to grind the shaper cutter to what I need? I called a friend at an industrial machine shop in town and he said they could do it by hand or send it off to an expensive CNC grinder. I feel like I could do it by hand if I went that route. I've got white aluminum oxide and CBN grinding wheels. Ballance is what's scaring me. The cutter wasn't very expensive so I'm not going to be out much money if it doesn't work out. Am I looking in the right direction? Any ideas?
