Shaper bits Rail and Stile

[Mark T]

I seem to be having a hard time finding a 15 degree bevel profile in a shaper bit set. I can find a Shaker bevel, but that's not what i want. MLCS has everything under the sun for router bit sets, and most every profile for shapers... but not 15 degree bevel. MLCS bit sets are around 90 bucks. I have searched everywhere I can think of, and surfed the Internet for even more (Grizzly, Amana, Freud, Cutting Edge, Eagle America, Tools Today, etc...) The only sets I can find are in the 3-4 hundred dollar range; a bit steep for one set of kitchen cabinet doors. I've even thought of buying a set and grinding my own profile, but I don't have diamond grinders, so re-grinding carbide is out of the question.

I do not have a good router table (yet), and don't really want one since I have the shaper.

Am I just screwed?

See #1010 at below site. Is this what you are looking for?

Can you get a router bit adapter for your shaper? Otherwise you can put together router table that's good enough to run stiles and rails pretty quick out of a piece of 3/4" plywood. It doesn't have to be very elaborate with an insert or anything. Just punch a hole with a hole saw and pick up some longer screws to attach your router. Add a pivot fence and you're set.

Mark sometimes I change the design to match the tools I have or can get pretty easy.

Yeah, I know. I may have to change designs, but what mama wants, mama usually gets. I'm sure most of you can relate, at least those of you who have been married a long time. I'll adjust.

MLCS has shaper sets in only two profiles- ogee and shaker; and so does just about everyone else.

I am in process of designing a router table. I have sheets and sheets of formica to laminate a smooth top, and I have enough aluminum gathered up in the correct sizes to machine a T-track and fence (good reasons to play with the metal tools!!). It won't have a fancy cabinet nor dust collection (yet), but it'll do 18 doors.

My poor ol shaper is going to get lonely though

Just an update. Grizzly had the correct profile cutter.

All is well now. Mama will probably keep me now
