Does anyone know a good source of vector profiles for molding? I have a clock that I need to make a door with glass insert and I want to try my hand at making these on the CNC versus the router table. Just need a starting location for some ideas.

Can't you just draw the profile you want and extrude it, Mike? Or get the profile from a search and extrude that?

I found a couple of sites with profiles and am using those as a template to create my own. I'm learning!1

I just drew my own profile in Vectric V Carve, and used the moulding toolpath to cut it along a vector with a ballnose bit for the carving.

If the profile is a standard profile then it is faster to use the bit in a router table to cut the profile. If you want something special then design it to be cut on the CNC. You can create some really unique moldings using your CNC so your projects all have your personal touch.
