Can anyone help me identify this Rail and Stile bit?

[Tocaliteb]

I'm trying to make some rail and stile doors with this profile . The rails and stiles are 20mm thick.

At first I thought it was an ogee style bit, but I think it's more likely to be a roundover bit but in reverse.

Can anyone tell me which router bit would give me this profile?

Many thanks.

I found this by googling, not sure how common the bit is but bevel and radius looks similar Rail and Stile Bits - Infinity Tools

That is unusual, I've never seen a reverse ovolo profile and scribe like that used on a door before.

It might've been done with custom spindle moulder knives rather than a router bit.

+ 1 for custom knives, or square edge and a plant on scotia mould.

But it's reversed Doug, the moulding would be the reverse of a regular ovolo moulding, IE a hollow instead of a round.

Looks the same as mine which is a standard router set, you’ll have to zoom into see it

I've never seen a router set with that particular moulding but I may be wrong. I can't see what profile your doors are from that photo, when I zoom in it's all just a blur!

I couldn’t find a photo of a close up of the joint but it is the same as the op’s photo

It's definitely not the same profile. The end result should be like this -



The closest I can find is this profile - Ovolo - but again the profile would be in reverse.

Does anyone know of a reversible set that might work?

looks to me like it was done with a rebate plane and a round

That's a 'cavetto' moulding. You can get router bits eg from Wealden Tools - bearing guided probably. As has been said, you could use a half round bit after a rebate bit. Cheers, W2S

It might be a spindle moulding cutter, try looking at numbers around 136/8 in the 40 X 4 range of Wealden spindle cutters.

Cavetto ...

Ah, so that’s what it’s called! Now all you need is a corresponding scribe cutter and you’re golden!

 

[Tocaliteb]

Trevanion and Woody - thank you so much. I'll follow up with a couple of bit manufacturers to see if they can advise the corresponding scribe (I assume an ovolo).

Thanks to everyone who helped out.

I might be wrong - I haven't tried to work it out in detail - but I think that the symmetry of the profile should allow you to use the same bit upside down for the scribe cuts.

With a loose tenon!

Amazing - yes - the idea of a loose tenon had completely slipped my mind. Thanks so much
