Claim 8:
9. 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; and wherein the cutter comprises a tip portion located closest to the distal end;
wherein in a direction from the distal end to the proximal end, when the shaper cutter head is rotated about the longitudinal axis, the body defines a first body sweep at a first body portion, wherein the first body sweep is disposed at a first radial distance from the longitudinal axis; and a second body sweep at a second body portion, wherein the second body sweep is disposed at a second radial distance from the longitudinal axis, larger than the first radial distance; and
wherein the body comprises a recess comprising a flat indexing surface extending radially outwards in relation to the longitudinal axis at a third radial distance, such that in an end view of the shaper cutter head, the third radial distance is larger than the first radial distance and smaller than the second radial distance.
