Thanks to the help from you folks, I located cutters for my old Delta shaper. One is on the way to me so that I can try it.
The previous thread is here.

Here is the next question. You can tell I am new to running my own shaper.
The cutter is a half-inch and quarter-inch right-hand round-over. I am assuming the cutter has to be flipped on the spindle to cut one of the radii, and once flipped the motor must be reversed. Is my assumption correct? And, of course, the work feed direction would be reversed also. Correct?
This motor will reverse direction, but then how will I be sure the mounting nuts will not loosen while the machine is running? The spindle only has one nut on each end. Will I have to double-nut it?
(These things are dangerous enough without a person using it incorrectly.)
