Shaper Cutter Set SC440 and SC444 are both stile-and-rail door cutter sets for use on a shaper. Both are designed for use with 3/4" thick stock material. The differences are the decorative profiles. SC440 creates a roundover profile which is sometimes referred to as a "thumbnail". SC444 creates an ogee or reverse curve. Also, notice that set SC444 creates the ogee on both faces of the stock while SC440 shapes the profile on the outside face only.
