RAISE-A-PANEL MOULDING CUTTERS

An increasingly common requirement these days is the production
of mock panelling on solid timber or MDF panels for furniture
manufacture. This operation is usually carried out using a template
with a top bearing guided classic ogee cutter. Whilst the result is
effective it does not resemble a true raised panel.
Our unique new system uses two cutters which, with two passes
using the same template, will produce an effect that more closely
echos a traditional raised panel.

These two flute top bearing guided cutters are available either
singly or in matched sets. Two sizes are available which produce
either a 30mm or 40mm wide moulding and in both cases the depth
of the moulded groove is 10-12mm.
The unique design of the cutters allows the use of a single
template to produce a moulded recess with a classical profile on
one side and a panel raise on the other.

The cutters are used in conjunction with a
T1650 24.0mm 12mm 1/4 41mm TB1023 TC002 template of the outside shape of the desired
panel. The template should be in 18mm MDF or
T1651 – 8 24.0mm 12mm 8mm 44mm TB1023 TC002 a thinner material may be used if a starting
T1653 1/2 24.0mm 12mm 1/2 52mm TB1023 TC002 guide is utilised. The starting guide is simply a
T1662 – 8 35.0mm 12.5mm 8mm 47mm TB1025 TC002 piece of timber fixed to the template to position
the base of the routing machine so that the
T1663 1/2 35.0mm 12.5mm 1/2 55mm TB1025 TC002 cutter will plunge with the guide bearing in line
T1656 30.0mm 12mm 1/4 41mm TB1024 TC002 with the cut out in the template. Set the starting
guide up by fitting the raise cutter into the
T1657 – 8 30.0mm 12mm 8mm 44mm TB1024 TC002 machine and positioning the bearing against
T1659 1/2 30.0mm 12mm 1/2 52mm TB1024 TC002 the inner edge of the template, then fix a block
T1660 – 8 40.0mm 12mm 8mm 50mm TB1026 TC002 onto the template against the outer edge of the
router base.
T1661 1/2 40.0mm 12mm 1/2 57mm TB1026 TC002
To produce a panel, the raise cutter is fitted to
the machine and the depth stop set to the
required depth (10-12mm). The cutter is then
plunged into the work at the start guide position
and then run round following the template in an
anticlockwise direction. To complete the effect,
the profile cutter is fitted and the stop set to
achieve the same depth. The cutter is then
plunged into the work using the same template
position and again run around this time in a
clockwise direction.
