Crown 2-1/2" - 11

This elegant 2-1/2" - 11 crown mould measures 2.500" wide by .687" thickness, requiring four-quarter lumber for milling on an industrial molder. The concave profile is composed of a 13/16" cove in the center, bordered by a 7/64" vertical line and a 3/8" quarter round arc on top, joined to a 9/64" broad horizontal line with two cascading one-quarter inch circles in the lower section of the design. The spring angles are fixed at thirty-eight and fifty-two degrees, these specific back bevels set the installed height at 1-55/64" tall with a projection of 1-11/16" 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 pressure shoe is parallel to the machine bed plates. We suggest using a felt lined pressure shoe while milling this pattern, this will help eliminate any unsightly burnish mark left on the upper bead from the metal hold down shoe on the molder.
