I am working on a hardwood floor installation with a requirement that the boards are ~12" wide. To achieve this at a reasonable price, I have decided to rip baltic birch plywood. I would like to use tongue and groove and have found a cutter for my 3-hp shaper that might work (Amana Tool - SC453 2-Piece Carbide Tipped 3-Wing Stile & Rail Flooring with Nail Slot 2-5). Am I crazy for thinking this might work or will the baltic birch promply destroy the cutter? Or vise versa, the cutter will splinter the plywood to a point that T&G will not be use able?
Thanks for your input.
