Product Description

Transform a room with crown molding to add height and elegance to an otherwise ordinary ceiling. With Freud's Wide Crown Molding System, woodworkers can inexpensively mill their own 5-1/2" wide crown molding in their choice of profiles and hardwoods or softwoods.

Mix and match profiles to produce the shape you need. Get up to nine different profiles from only six bits. Bits sold separately.

Cautions & Proper Use

• Use only in a router table with minimum 6" high fence.
• Before starting the project, make test cuts in scrap stock.
• Use featherboards and hold-downs to hold stock down and against the fence.
• Use pusher blocks or a push-stick to feed stock.
• Mill in three or more passes.

Applications

Each bit produces half of the molding profile. Three bits in the Wide Crown Molding System are designed for the upper half of the molding, and three produce the lower half. Each bit features a sweeping curve that transitions perfectly into the corresponding curve of the adjoining profile.

Notes

Select the upper and lower profiles that match your favorite design. Then use Freud's Molding Bevel Cutter (99-421) to rout 38° and 52° bevels on the stock to finish the job.
