I will be making some shutters for outdoor use this summer and would like the tenon on the rail to go clear thru the stiles. This should reduce the possibility of warping compared to the short tenon that you get with the usual cope and stick construction. I have a router bit set that does do this but I just got a new to me 3hp shaper. It seems a shame to use a router in a table to make the shutters with a more powerful shaper sitting in my shop.
In order to cope the rails on the shaper with the long tenons I need to have a bit that does the cope cut that does not have a portion of the spindle above the cutter. I understand that a stub spindle can be used to do this. Is there another way to do this? Where can a find a cutter that will make this cut? Where can I find a stub spindle for the shaper (It is a North State 3hp - same as the grizzly 3 hp)?
Thanks in advance
