This multi-cut half-round 1-1/2"- 2 measures 1.500" wide by 3/4" thickness, requiring the use of a 5-1/16" wide blank of five-quarter lumber for milling on an industrial-style molder. The profile is ideal for machining large volumes of lineal footage; it contains three 3/4" radius convex arcs divided by two 5/32" wide splitters. Caution: the cutters will come within .010" of the machine bed plates when milling this detail. We recommend a wooden, phenolic, or plastic sacrificial bed plate for these milling operations. For safety concerns, we strongly suggest an anti-kickback device for your machinery before attempting any milling procedures that involve splitting lumber into multiple pieces.
