Router Profile

[NWOhioChevyGuy]

Can someone tell what router profile this is?

First time posting pictures from Tapatalk so sorry if the format *****.

Looking to add some woodwork (shelving) and want to match existing oak window sills.

Not sure from picture but it looks like two separate pieces of strip, one with a round over and one with a cove. They are small enough and cross grain making me think they were done by hand.

They were likely done onsite but the upgrades were done in 1991 so I'm fairly sure they we're done with a router.

Yes both are rounded, top curve is convex bottom is concave.

Have to agree with Turbo on this one... Nothing I've ever seen in one shot.

Explains why I couldn't find a bit with that profile.

So how would one duplicate?

Two pieces of wood, one slightly smaller than the other. Rout the edges of one using a round over bit, then the other using a cove bit, then glue together. You want to match the profiles on the individual round over / cove bits used.

They are called round over and cove bits. Figure out the radius of both and buy two bits. Or maybe a roman ogee and something else. You can look at router bit catalogs or if your local hardware store has a good inventory. http://www.cmtutensili.com/show_items.asp?pars=RB~~2

That is a classic roman ogee.

I originally thought so also, however the "step" between the two rounds is much more pronounced/larger.

I may buy one and see how close it is.

These shelves will not be too close to any of the windows, so as long as it is close it will look good.

Thanks guys.

All one piece on the windows, looking to get it on the solid oak shelf edge. Not interested in a "trim" piece, that's just another seam to split or gather ****/dust. The other half don't like to dust [emoji8]

It I still likly a specific brand professional bit.
You may have to tons of searching to actually find it and may never find it.

How bad do you want it to match? You can have a custom router bit made for you, or you could duplicate it by doing several passes with 2-3 different bits. This can be done with one piece of wood.
This is what often has to be done when duplicating parts for an antique you are trying to fix

OK next can someone direct me where to find this casing profile?
Been looking online and don't see it.

look for shaper bits for that profile. you won't find it in a router bit.

Take it to a place that sells only millwork. They have catalogs and they can likely match it for you. There are also online catalogs, but usually they don't have all dimensions you need to make a product ID.

I talked to a buddy that works at a lumber yard last night and sent him the pictures, hopefully he will find it through his vendors.

 

[ssdave]

The router work is done with what in my bits is labeled as a "classic".

The oak molding I had in my last house, it was sold as Colonial at Menards. There's a million profiles out there, you'll have to have it exactly matched at your lumberyard. They may or may not be able to still get the same profile.

I've used these guys to run lots of trim for me, they might have it in their catalog...

These are the guys in Cincinnati who I got to match random moldings.
