Claim 4:
5. An apparatus, comprising:
a shaper cutter head comprising: a body; a bore through the body; and a cutter secured to the body; wherein the body is configured to be releasably secured to a shaper spindle via the bore and when so assembled the body and the cutter extend along a longitudinal axis that is defined by the shaper spindle and that defines an axial direction extending from a distal end of the body to a proximal end of the body;
wherein the body comprises a substantially fructo-conical first portion at a position closer to the distal end, a central portion and a second portion at a position closer to the proximal end;
wherein the cutter comprises: a miter profile disposed on at least the first portion, a groove profile and a tongue profile for cutting a miter; and
wherein the central portion of the body defines at least one recess, disposed at an axial position between the first portion and the proximal end; and the at least one recess defining a flat indexing surface extending radially outwards in relation to the longitudinal axis such that in an end view of the shaper cutter head, the flat indexing surface of the recess protrudes radially outward in relation to the first portion.
