Jared,
So you reverse rotation and feed for each side of the coping operation to ensure the cut exits on the exterior end of the stile. Ensuring that the inside corner is clean. Correct?

I alson run sticking in long lengths then for coping I run left and right (clockwise and counter clockwise) cope heads.?
I process the same way as Tom. Everything cut to near net length, run through shaper/router with a backer and then trimmed later. Note that I do only inset cabinets so all of the doors are oversized and scribed to size for perfect reveals.?

Hi Imran,?
?
My method is to perform all of the cross-grain work prior to performing the linear work. So, when I'm producing stiles and rails for a window (for instance), my sequence is the following:
-- Perform counter-profile milling operation on rails
-- Perform slotting operation on stiles
-- Perform linear profiling work
-- I over-size my sashes so that I can take 1mm off each side after assembly?
?
The above operation ensures that any tear-out produced during the cross-grain operations will be removed by the linear operations. When I'm running the assembled sash through the shaper to remove the extra 1mm I'll feed a "chaser" board after the sash to prevent tear-out.?
?
For short parts it's optimal to use an outboard- or back- fence, rather than the hood fence plates.?
?
I hope this helps,?
