I need help.
I've read and posted about this subject a ton and thought I knew what I needed or at least my limitations with my machine.
I have a 3/4" and 1-1/4" spindles.
I want to rabbet, T&G and make doors with this machine (both cabinetry and entry). I would like to do other tasks eventually but trying to keep it simple.
My machine is a Powermatic 27S.
I recently bought an Amana adjustable tongue and groove set that was absolute garbage and I sent it back. https://www.toolstoday.com/shaper-cu...oormaking.html I was going to use it for mission style doors I have coming up but the setup and accuracy was just way, way too cumbersome IMO. Also the adjustable dials damaged themselves on the insert blades when trying to make finite adjustments as advertised.
Without starting a huge debate, I would like some help on specific heads or tooling you use with a similar size machine. Would matched sets be my best choice for the tasks I mentioned?
Ease of setup and accuracy are huge. I have another T&G set that cuts a joint that is too loose IMO. So its a paper weight. Matched sets on my router table I have not had similar problems with.
Also, with adjustments for sets is there anything I should consider adding/upgrading to the machine to assist i.e. fence, DRO etc?
Thanks for the help.
