crown molding cutter

[Mark J Bachler]

I'm looking for a vert. 2 1/4" crown molding cutter for my 1 1/4" bore shaper. Any ideas??

Perhaps an insert tool head such as this one from FS Tools?

Regards, Rod.

I have the Grizzly cutter. I just never found a consistant way to run it. I set up my power feed which helped a bit. I ended up just buying a W&H moulder which does a great job.

In my experience, running crown on a shaper is a PITA. It can be done but if you are going to be running a lot of crown on a fairly regular basis, you might want to consider investing in a small moulder like the W&H so you can run the crown flat.
