I typically run my cope cuts for to compensate for blowout...then run sticking on all pieces....and I also leave them a 3/16 wider to rip to final width after cope and sticks have been run. Clean parts every time
I was surprised to see you do the copes after the sticks; but I’ve just seen your solution to prevent tear out. Would you tell me why you do the copes last as it’s counter to common wisdom? I’m entertaining all information here... Helpful video. Thank you. Oh, one more thing on which I’d like to hear your input: you glue your stiles (and tongues). Most videos allow the panel to float. Would you share why you glue up the stiles?
Nice tutorial. I have a shaper and my stile and rail set is as such... If I want to feed from right to left the ends of my rails need to sit on my sled face up while the stile cutter with right to left feed needs to be run face down. Is this typical or just the way grizzly designed these cutters? Thank you. I have a set of Delta cutters that are the same. I have seen youtube videos with shaper cutters that everything is fed from right to left and face down??? Thank you
As read in some other comments, I also recommend taking a look at Woody Hyezmar’s Woodworking Bible. Last time I saw he was still looking for proof readers!
