I'm trying to find a stile and rail cutter to match an existing unit.
Most of my cutters are Freud or DML and they don't have what I need .
I'm using 1" true stock and I need a 3/8" bead on one side only.  Any
ideas for suppliers would be appreciated.

You could try "Woodline Arizona", they seem to carry a fairly large
selection of shaper cutters and their pricing is extremely good (don't
know how good the cutters are -- they look pretty good to my untrained
eye, but I haven't had a chance to test the ones I've gotten from them
yet -- been too cold in the unheated outside shop since I bought them
at a woodworking show in January). Their phone number is
"1-800-472-6950". If you give them a call and request one, they'll
probably mail you a free catalog. Their one piece rail & stile cutter
comes in three profiles (ogee, roundover, cove & bead) and (in the
last catalog I have) sells for $89 in 3/4" bore and $99 for 1 1/4" 
bore (1 1/4" bore includes 1" bushing). Their complete shaper cutter
door set in 3/4" bore sells for $199 and includes four cutters:
panel raiser (choice of something like five profiles), rail & stile
cutter, door lip, and glue joint. 

Lots of other folks will probably mention Freeborn as well. Apparently,
the dealer of preference for Freeborn is "Top Shelf" and they have an
e-mail contact address (they sent me a catalog a while back when I
requested one via e-mail). The e-mail address is "[email-masked]".
(thanks again to Raymond Hearn for providing this information about
Top Shelf to me last April).
