Cove Moulding 2-1/2" - 8

This modest cove moulding 2-1/2" - 8 measures 2.475" in width by .750" in thickness, requiring 2-3/4" wide blanks of four-quarter lumber for machining with a commercial moulder. The unpretentious terminating profile comprises a 15/64" vertical line segment on the top left. It connects to a 1-27/32" cavetto in the center with a 31/64" horizontal fillet on the bottom right side of the design. The spring angles are at forty-five degrees; the dedicated back bevels keep the face sides of the pattern parallel to the wall and ceiling. These specific angle positions lock in the installed height at 1-5/8" tall with a 1-7/8" projection across the top.

Review our commentary about axial constant positioning for crown bevels, the article will help you dial this profile in axially, provided the machine is properly calibrated. Three high points in the pattern layout are positioned on the same plane. Our disciplined design features will assure excellent hold down conditions while milling as long as the pressure shoe is parallel to the machine bed-plates.
