    Default CMT Cutters

    I have a Robland Combo machine and have started playing around with the Spindle Moulder. I bought a few CMT Cutters but have achieved little so far. I am having trouble figuring out which profiles are designed for what jobs. What is the best place to find this kind of information?

    You are working the wrong way around, decide on the job then obtain the cutters to suit

    Absolutely; and get a bearing to match so you can to template/jig work. A glue joint cutter will be useful too; I'd suggest a lock-mitre head as that can be used for both flat and right angled joints.

    Other than that, a universal head and a decent set of shaped inserts (which can be built up over time as you start using it more) is probably all you will need.
