Crown Moulding 6-1/2" - 5

This intriguing crown molding 6-1/2" - 5 measures 6.540" wide by 1.062" thickness, requiring the use of a 6-3/4" wide blank of five-quarter lumber for milling sprung (laying horizontally flat) on an industrial molder. The symmetrical terminating profile contains a shallow 4-27/64" concave semicircular arc in the center. The cove is flanked by a 5/64" sunken fillet merged with a 27/64" convex bead, joined to a 1/4" cove boarded by a vertical and horizontal line segment at the top and bottom of the design. The set spring angles are at forty-five degrees; these dedicated back bevels keep the face side of the profile parallel to the wall and ceiling when installed. These specific angles also lock in the positioned height at 4-5/8" tall with a 4-5/8" projection across the top. We offer an alternative pattern with similar design characteristics for your review and consideration, crown 6.500" - 1.

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. Two high points in the pattern layout were deliberately 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.

If you would like some assistance with the dimensions, print a copy of our fraction - decimal - millimeter chart, place it on the molder or around the shop to help machine operators save time and increase accuracy during setup procedures.

Width = 6.500" / Depth of Cut = .687" (top knives).

Thickness = 1.062" / Depth of cut = .791" (right blades) & .791" (left cutters).
