molding set - Woodworking Talk

I just bought a craftsman molding set off of ebay. Anyone else use these? I'm going to try it out today, hopefully it doesn't explode my table saw and/or wood.

I used one of those years ago. Be sure and feed you stock slow and make sure the cutters are sharp.

Make several passes to get the full profile.

They actually work pretty good, a bit scary though.
Like Dave said, go slow and don't try and do to much at
one time. I got real smooth results the couple of times I used it.

This looks interesting. Does it work with a regular dado throat plate in the table saw?

So I used it and wow! I'm not sure how long I'll be able to use the blades without sharpening though. I put a triple bead down the center of some long oak caps I was working on. No problem, I did it in 2 passes. I'm not really too sure about the bits though. The inside circle looks pretty cool but everything else is kind of bla. It was definitely worth it for the triple bead.

I made my own plate to use it on the table saw.
