Hi, the below pic is some vintage window trim.
I'd like to mimic that trim style given that I've invested in a router and table (and why not invest in another bit?)
It seems a channel style bit is appropriate -- but all the ones I see are square bottomed channels.
Then I thought a roundover would do it in multiple passes -- but no! -- there's no edge here for the bearing to ride against. plus those outside edges'll be tough.
So a bit with a roundover profile -- no bearing, but shaped like a kid's top with a point that makes the deepest part of the channel.
Then three passes to rout each of the three channels.
No? Then how to do?
Yes? anybody know what that kind of bit is called out?
I thanks you much.
