Good morning 🌅, Great territorial, i’ve been using euro cutterheads/blocks for many years, there is a safety aspect about it, that if you just got a single cutter in a block, and you are unfortunately hit by it it will drag your hand into the machine obviously causing serious amount of damage to yourself, Wear a euro block yes you’re still injured, but not as bad, I actually know somebody this is back in the late 70s early 80s, he had lost 2/3 of his right hand may need due to a knot being caught in the machine in process, the piece of wood shot out of person’s hand and obviously his hand then dropped into the machine, I cannot stipulate enough the use of push stick or a device that holds the wood instead of using your hand, push the piece of wood, even better still setting up power feed, I have literally tends to thousands of pounds worth of cutters, but other accumulated over the years, some are Whitehill, but mainly Leitz a German company, I used this company mainly because they had an outlet about 40 miles away from where I live, and they had a rep that used to come round to pick up tooling to be sharpened, then when I wanted profiles to be made, they can normally turn it around within 4 to 5 days, And it would obviously be delivered to my workshop, and if I need to, I could go and pick it up, Though the tooling is expensive, you get what you pay for, Stay safe, France.
Yes, the shaper can certainly be a dangerous machine with the old tooling we used to use. I have seen a few accidents myself, but the worst was a guy at trade school back in the early 80s lost 3 fingers. I happened to be on a rip saw in full view of it. Not a pretty sight! The old tooling still does what it used to, but as you say, a power feeder is the way to go with that tooling. Modern tooling is amazing, & much safer to hand feed with. Modern hoods and fences also make things a lot easier to set up the machine so running material can be run in a safer manner.
BC - Thank you for the shaper vids. I'm getting closer to retirement and plan to spend time hobby woodworking, something I've wanted to do since my high school classes. If room permits, I may be adding a shaper, so these vids are a real help. Thanks again.
Oh Doug, retirement is overrated. At least that's what i need to keep telling myself! 😅 I have limited space in my shop too, that's why i went with the combination machine. Thanks for watching!
@@brycecomerwoodworks I need to amend my comment - retirement from house painting in SW Florida. I plan to make & sell K-horn speaker kits, plantation shutters, interior custom doors, and a few furniture projects I've sketched out in the past 15 years that are not like anything I've seen. I am giving serious thought to the combo machine. I watched your door vid the other day and was amazed at how quickly you were able to make it. Your channel should continue to grow because you are more about the craft, and less about fancy slick editing and corny jokes. Suggest you either make a Patreon account or monetize your account here - I'll buy you a coffee as an appreciation for good content. Cheers.
Every shop needs a few medium sized (400-800kg) spindle moulders. I'd agree the smaller light weight units just don't have the rigidity you really want.
@brycecomerwoodworks I keep trying to downsize from three down to one or two, but somehow ended up with four currently. I just don't like setting up and tearing down frequently like with one machine.
You can of course get a spindle for the spindle Moulder/ ‘shaper’ that takes router bits. I haven’t tried it, and I wouldn’t shell out for one, as you would get a good router table for less, the option is there but ( certainly for those of us in the Felder family 👍🏻)
Yes, you're absolutely right. You still have the same issues as i explained though regarding the cutting circle & lack of mass of a router bit. I have the router spindle for that machine, & have used it on occasion. It's nice being able to utilize the shaper fence and feeder & have the large size of the machine, but it's rare that i use it, as most of the time i can do what's needed with shaper cutters & get a better job. For site work though, there's no beating a router, & you can of course always set up a quick and nasty router table with a sheet of melamine or ply and a piece of 1x material for a fence. Thanks for watching @Dazza19746. 🙂
Very true but when I bought my first shaper, all I had were router bits so it bought me time to figure out what shaper cutters made the most sense to get first. My router bits now only see action in a palm router.
Hi @StanBlaszczyk, Thanks for watching. Are you referring to the Zuani multi cutter head? If so, i actually use a different cutter to cut the grooves for my weather stripping as the groove the Zuani head gives me is too big for the Draftseal product it use on my door jambs, and the weather stripping i use on my sash windows.

It’s great to ,hear from an actual wood machinist and not a you tube pro! Great videos thanks

@@jar944 if you have the space, why not! 😃
Nice demo
Thanks for watching @makosharksimmo8124 The next videos will go into deeper detail, especially on set up and use. Oh, and your handle is killer! :)

@@thomasnourse7506 I can imagine! I use a router all the time, but it's almost always hand held.
Great video. What weather stripping are you using with the Ininiti cutter?

@@brycecomerwoodworks that’s what I found out too. Everything is for 3mm or 1/8”. I am currently using a saw blade from ridge carbide bored to 1.25”
@@StanBlaszczyk :) Same here, just a saw blade. I think it's 8" or something. Works really well for cutting tenons too when needed.
