This 1" full round pattern measures 1.000" wide by 1.000" thickness, with a .281" depth of cut on the right, left, top, and bottom cutters. The dowel detail comprises a 1/2" radius full circle; it requires four milling stations on an industrial machine to cut this pattern. The creative knife design eliminates any ninety-degree angles in the pattern while allowing for proper blades sharpening when they become dull. The machine bedplates will be able to be closer together during the milling process, reducing the likelihood of snipes in the workpieces.

This professionally drafted cad dxf file contains two high precision moulding template designs to create cutters for this dowel detail. One of the patterns is described above, and the other pattern cuts only one-half of the detail. These details are designed more for industrial shaper machinery rather than a moulder.
