Either way, a little care with your router table yields some beautiful crown, at a fraction of the cost of the same off-the-shelf profiles everyone else is using. Click below to download a set of construction plans for making your own wide router table fence for milling crown moulding.
Timber mouldings are a game changer in woodworking, and this video reveals how to craft curved crown molding using a router! Watch as we guide you through the steps to master this essential technique.
The next step is to add together the cutting width of all the profile router bits we are using to make each crown molding. If making the simple cove crown pictured above you would add 3/4" for the Crown Edge router bit and 1-3/4" for the small cover crown molding router bit (56-602).
They open up a new world of possibilities for adding sophisticated details to a project. A pair of examples are the crown molding and the plinth blocks for the traditional bookcase on page 30. If you’re accustomed to using standard-size bits, the thought of installing one of these monsters in the router table might give you shivers.
You can't find 112" molding without a joint (or without exorbitant shipping costs). I don't necessarily care that much about having a "traditional" crown profile, and I wouldn't even be averse to more or less vertical trim. But I was thinking of doing some type of "crown" - even 45 degree - with a 1/2" or 5/8" board.
The "crown moulding" type router bits are fairly small. If done on a shaper, a power feeder would maintain a continuous milling, as it would on a router table (for long lengths). As suggested, you can use individual bits and stack up the pieces to get just about any configuration you want. Some call it a "build up".
Crown molding has an elevated place (pun intended) within trim projects. This, I think, has more to do with its visibility than the complexity of its installation. While baseboard and even casing can blend into a home, crown is meant to and does draw the eye. Due to that attention grabbing, it leaves fewer places to hide imperfections and ...

Once you have worked out the router bits that you need, you can set up your table router to start building up the moulding using the following steps: 8. The first bead is cut with a bullnose bit [above].
We have been cutting radius crown on our Busellato. I use a HSK arbor with 1 1/4 shaft from Carolina Specialty Tools so I can mount our shaper heads. The largest crown profile I have cut measures 8 1/2" corner to corner. This requires several knifes to make the entire profile. I run about 6000 rpm at 6m/min depending on size of cut.
I wanted to experiment making some simple moulding without a tilting router lift or a tilting router fence,using a common router bit set with no modifications except temporarily removing bearings. the results turned out great considering it was an EXPERIMENT but if would make a tilting router fence if I was making any moulding.

There are holes in the guide for attaching an auxillary fence which I use to attach the router to the guide board. My router fence has a micrometer knob on it so I have the very fine in/out adjustment. Combined with the up/down micrometer knob on the router provides me with nearly the same precision as a router table.
