I’m going to build a kitchen hutch based on a model that’s not available anymore. Anyway, on top of the hutch (and on other similar pieces) they install a crown moulding.
I know of many bits for cutting different profiles, but as a rule they are all “straight”. But the moulding I’m seeing is slanted, seated in an angle. Now I know about some router bases that tilt for such operation, but they are quite rare. How are furniture builders making those crown mouldings?
Edit: someone suggested that furniture manufacturers are using shapers/moulders (not routers) to perform this job. Those shapers have tilting arbours - exactly for such jobs!
