Anyone worked with these guys? http://www.mirror-reflections.com/
I need custom ground shaper blades. They say 24 to 36 hour turnaround....

Those are based on the fact that Grizzly only sells 1/4" thick blades and those have a maximum depth of the cutter being limited because of the blade thickness. I want a 5/16 blade thickness to increase depth of cut, but want to know the maximum outside diameter of cut that a 3 hp shaper can goA 3/4" arbor calls for a 2" diameter head, with a 1 1/2" HP or larger shaper:

A 3" head is suitable for use on a 3HP shaper as it says above.
A call to Grizzly tech services would probably answer your specific needs:

This 7 1/2 Shaper will take some mighty large cutters:

I am getting barraged with questions trying to figure this out. I understand the angles etc, what I need to know is how big of a diameter head a 3 hp motor with a 3/4 inch shaft can handle. I know that rpm of the motor and the spindle come into play, but as the head diameter goes up so does the cutter edge rpm, but that plays against the hp of the motor, So....how big of a cutter head can I safely use with a figuratively deep cutter?
I don't think you can get what you want...5/16" thick blades and a large ...? diameter cutter to be used on that small arbor, 3 HP probably not a factor regardless.
