Cove 5" - 3

This tall 5" - 3 cove mould measures 5.000" wide by 1.000" thickness, and it will require five-quarter lumber to machine this pattern on an industrial style molder successfully. The profile is comprised of a 4-7/16" radius cavetto in the center, connected to a 3/8" tall vertical line on top and a 3/8" wide horizontal line on the bottom of the design.

The spring angles are fixed at thirty and sixty degrees, these specific back bevels set the installed height at 4-1/4" tall with a projection of 2-5/8" wide. Read our commentary about axial constant positioning for crown bevels. The article will help you dial this profile in axially on the first try when milling this detail provided the machine is axially calibrated. Two high points in the detail were deliberately positioned on the same plane; our specialized design features will assure excellent hold-down conditions while milling, providing the moulder pressure shoe is parallel to the machine bed plates.
