For running moulds on door stiles on spindle any advantage to having larger diameter head?
Thanks.
 
The 96mm is good to run a mould in conjunction with a 125mm TCT blade rebate head. So you can cut rebate and mould on a 125mm circle and adjust the rebate with spacers between the heads. You cant do this with a 125mm head as there is no room for knives, hope that makes sense.

My spindle is only 100mm long and just under 4 hp, can't stack tooling.

Well I am not sure this is a thing.
If so, nobody told me because I do it all the time (also on a small spindle moulder).
If you think about it, a single large block for the big 6mm thick knives is not going to provide any more resistance than two smaller heads in a stack.
Also what about tenonning which also uses 2 blocks and spacers in a stack?

If stack height is a problem you can get a 30mm by 96mm head just for this reason ( cheaper knives too) .

More width/depth of cut, cleaner finish.
Would the same apply to a 125 x 100 alloy limiter head, for doing the stile moulds on interior and exterior house doors. I have a Multico TM1, so all the scribes, moulds will have to match up. The size of scribe cutters the Multico accept, will I think dictate the size of limiter head and size of its knives I can use.

I don't use or know much about the modern kit - I went the other way with self made cutters. Didn't attempt scribe cutting but did it the old fashioned way with mitres, hand cut scribes, scribing chisel.
Sorry can't help!
