Cove Mould 5-1/2"

This distinctive 5-1/2" cove mould measures 5.500" wide by 1.000" thickness requiring the design to be milled from five-quarter lumber. The symmetrical profile is comprised of a 5-9/16" concave arc in the center with 1/16" radius points, flanked by 5/8" tall vertical line on top and a 5/8" wide horizontal line at the bottom of the pattern.

The spring angles are fixed at forty-five degrees, these specific back bevels set the installed height and projection at an identical dimension of 3-57/64" tall and 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 disciplined design features will assure excellent hold down conditions while milling, providing the moulder pressure shoe is parallel to the machine bed plates.

For knife quoting purposes use the calculator below, we have added only the important measurements, just determine the cutters you need. A brief detailed explanation on how to use the calculator is located here. Need some assistance with the dimensions? Print a copy of our fraction - decimal - millimeter chart, place it on the moulder to help operators save time and increase accuracy during machine setup.

Width = 5.500" / Depth of Cut = .615" (top knives).

Thickness = 1.000" / Depth of Cut = .580" (right blades) & .580" (left cutters), only one template is required to make the side knives
