Sectional molding for cabinet doors is easy to make on the tablesaw and lathe. Cut the straight sections on the tablesaw with a molding head. To make the semicircular section at each corner, remove the cutter from the molding head and bolt it to a heavy strap-iron handle. This provides a scraping tool for shaping a circle on the lathe’s faceplate. Separate the molding from the. waste wood with a parting chisel. Then cut each of the four corner sections from the circle at the proper miter angle.
