Cove 5-1/2"

This distinctive 5-1/2" cove mould measures 5.500" wide by 1.000" thickness requiring the design to be milled from five-quarter lumber. The symmetrical profile is comprised of a 5-9/16" concave arc in the center with 1/16" radius points, flanked by 5/8" tall vertical line on top and a 5/8" broad line at the bottom of the pattern.

The spring angles are fixed at forty-five degrees, these specific back bevels set the installed height and projection at an identical dimension of 3-57/64" tall and wide. Read our commentary about axial constant positioning for crown bevels. The article will help you dial this profile in axially on the first try when milling this detail, provided the machine is axially calibrated. Two high points in the detail were deliberately positioned on the same plane; our disciplined design features will assure excellent hold-down conditions while milling, providing the moulder pressure shoe is parallel to the machine bed plates.
