MOULDING CUTTERHEAD
Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead in the circular saw is a fast, safe and clean operation. The many different knife shapes available make it possible for the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings, such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames, table edges, etc.
The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can be mounted various shapes of steel knives, as shown in Fig. 51. Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into a
