The easy answer is to clamp a piece of scrap wood to your project to keep the bit from tearing out your work piece.


This is the correct answer

How do you clamp anything on the sticking cut? You could do it on the coping cut and your coping sled should be set up with a clamp and sacrificial backer. On the sticking cut you can use a piece of wood as a push stick/backer.

I still say if you are going to do any significant number of cabinet doors and drawer fronts invest in a shaper, feeder, and good tooling. Get the right number of knife marks per inch using spindle speed and feed rate and you won't have tearout especially if you climb cut.
