Crown Moulding 6-1/2" - 17

This attractive shaker crown moulding 6-1/2" - 17 measures 6.479" wide by one inch thickness, allowing the pattern to be milled from five quarter lumber. The asymmetrical profile is composed of a 1/2" tall by 5/8" wide squared lines, with a transitional 3/16" radius on top, connected to a beveled line in the center that merges with another 3/16" concave semicircle and a 5/8" wide by 13/16" tall squared lines at the bottom of the pattern. The spring angles are fixed at thirty-eight and fifty-two degrees, these specific back bevels set the installed height at 5" tall with a projection of 4-1/8" wide.

Read 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. 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, as long as the moulder pressure shoe is parallel to the machine bed plates.
