The problem is that your vertical doesn't have an overarm (side arm?)
to keep the arbor from flexing under the load of the ganged cutters.
In other words, instead of maybe 0.020 of cutter engaged in the
material, your ganged setup would have *inches* of cutter engaged
at once. That's a lot of load to be supported only on one end. You'd
get flex and chatter.
