While this sounds like a great project, creating
any real quantity of molding with a router setup
is "not" a great idea.

You would need a VERY large router and a power feeder
if you have any hope of producing any real volume of
molding. I doubt any current production router is up
to the job. The feeder is required is produce a long
continuous piece of molding.


The millwright shop is a "much" better idea or depending
on how much you need, find a current stock piece and
replace all the molding.

Custom molding is not for the faint of heart or wallet.

OR

Buy yourself a W&H molder and make your very own.
(just like old Norm's)

Of course you will also need lots of very straight and
flat material to run through this machine.

Of course all that material would have to be machined
to correct sizes(think...lots of waste)

I would either "pay up" or "replace with somthing else".

PS:

There are "many" molding that would be either exact or
very close to what you have if you really start looking.

Most molding can be made with a few very basic bits and
a good table saw.

I have an old house with unique, but simple profile, molding and
quarter circle pieces at the corners.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to get a large bit made
that I can mount on my router table that I could use to make more of
the straight molding? I'd also like to to find a source to make a
rosette cutter for quarter circle pieces.

there is a company locally that charges a 200.00 setup fee to make the
straight molding, plus an extra charge per foot, and they won't hold
the blades for your pattern, so if you decide you need more at a later
date, you're out for another 200.00.

advice?
