60 Degree Back Bevel Cutter - 1

This 60 Degree Back Bevel Moulding Knife - 1 is designed to mill a sixty-degree chamfer on the left backside of a piece of lumber to produce crown/cove moulding. These knives create only half of the determining factor of the final height and projection when the cove/crown moulding is installed. The other half of the mathematical equation is generally a degree, (in this case thirty) that combined equals ninety degrees or slightly more. This 60-degree bevel has a maximum depth of cut of 1.250", the maximum height of cut is set at .758". Every crown moulding we design has height numbers near the edge of every degree bevel, that number must be smaller than the height number, in this example, the number is .721" for this knife to properly cut the entire chamfer while milling, if not please select a different height sized bevel of the same degree.

We intentionally design all our crown mouldings with forty-five degree and undercuts milled on the right vertical moulder spindle, and all forty-five degree and higher cuts are milled on the left vertical spindle. This specialized practice will save thousands of dollars in manufacturing cost over the years.

Please read our commentary about Axial Constant Position for Crown Moulding Bevels, this article will help you dial this profile in axially on the first try when milling this detail on an industrial moulder, provided the moulder is axially calibrated.
