Which direction is the safest and/or best (regarding tear out) to cut mitered bridle joints on the shaper? I will cut it in one go with a tenon cutter. If I'd have to do this in two steps,, I'd probably mess up some cuts due to the flipping and angle change for the back side.
I need to cut this:
Should I angle the fence forward or backward 45 degrees? The image below is what I mean with "forward". Feeding direction is down in the image. The pieces are 400 mm long, so I'll have no problem clamping them safely to the fence with a backer board. This is probably the best way to minimise tear out, but I'd like to know if this is an "unsafe on a shaper scenario". I realise that the piece being sucked into the cutter is a potential danger. Clamping is essential, and I'll also try to fit one of the Aigner fingers between the cutters.

Edit:
This is the cutter:
