56 Degree Back Bevel Cutter

This 56 degree back bevel moulding knife is designed to mill a fifty-six degree chamfer on the left side of a piece of crown, cove, or bed moulding. This knife design creates only half of the determining factor of the final height and projection when theses types of mouldings are installed. The other half of the equation will be a degree that combined equals ninety degree or slightly more. On this back bevel cutter, the maximum depth of cut is .780", the maximum height of cut being set at .526". Every crown, bed, or cove moulding we layout have height numbers near the degree of back cut, that number must be smaller than the height number, in this case .526" for this knife to be able to work properly while milling, if not, select a larger size height of the same degree.

We design all our sprung mouldings (laying horizontally flat during the machining process) with forty-five degrees and under, milled on the right vertical cutter head, and all forty-five degree back cuts and higher milled on the left vertical cutter head. This custom design practice will save thousands of dollars in manufacturing cost over the years.

For knife quoting purposes click to open the calculator below, we have added only the important measurements, just enter the appropriate dimension in the boxes provided. A brief detailed explanation on how to use the calculator is located here. Need some assistance with the dimensions? Print a copy of our fraction - decimal - millimeter chart, place it on the molder to help operators save time and increase accuracy during machine setup.

Thickness = 1.625" / Depth of Cut = .780" (left cutters.)
