1-1/2" Half Round - 2

This multiple 1-1/2"- 2 half-round measures 1.500" wide by 3/4" thickness, requiring a 5-1/16" wide blank of five-quarter lumber for milling on an industrial-style molder. The profile is ideal for machining large volumes of lineal footage; it contains three 3/4" radius convex arcs divided by two 5/32" wide splitters. Caution: When milling this detail, the cutters will come within .010" of the machine bed plates. We recommend a wooden, phenolic, or plastic sacrificial bed plate for these milling operations. For safety concerns, we strongly suggest an anti-kickback device for your machinery before attempting milling procedures involving splitting lumber into multiple pieces.
