I am getting ready to tool up a shaper for pattern cutting. Edging chair legs, arched end-table spreaders, etc. I want to get a big cutter 3 or 4 inch diameter with a rub coller. I like the idea of using these rabbeting cutters with a single long insert blade. I'll just leave off the rabbet bottom cutters when doing full depth pattern cutting. Cheap and easy to replace the blades and a nice cut I suppose, I never liked the nibble of little carbides.
Does anyone have any experience with any of these. On the Amana's I am interested in both the shear and cheaper (smaller) cutter.
