March 24, 20233 yr comment_311306 Hi All, I'm new here and need some help with an antique armoire I'm repairing. The back is a frame and panel design and I need to create some replacement slats. The tongue ends aren't like any I've ever seen and I can't find the proper router bit for it. Any suggestions on what I can use to cut this? Thanks in advance! Munsey Report
March 24, 20233 yr comment_311309 Maybe a dovetail bit but that is a very acute angle. Not sure a dovetail will match that . Maybe dovetail and the carve the rest of the angle. Report

March 25, 20233 yr comment_311320 Had another thought on this is to laminate it. Make the top and bottom and then glue them to the tongue. I am supposing this a window Mullion or Mutin and if made in factory they may have specialized cutters for these. Report
March 25, 20233 yr comment_311321 Not completely necessary, but I'm curious, do you a router table? Report
March 25, 20233 yr comment_311328 Not sure if you can find a matching profile cope and stick set. Guessing the original manufacturer used a shaper set-up with mirror image cutters. Like Gerald noted, maybe custom ground?? Depending on the age, it's feasible these were even cut by hand using custom made sash planes and knives. Maybe another option HERE? BTW, welcome to The Patriot Woodworker. Glad you found us. Keep the thread going as to your resolution as well as posting other projects. Great to have you on-board. Report

March 25, 20233 yr comment_311338 Cope & Stick.....was done with hand planes.....later was done on a shaper. Might look into a door making set of bits....like from CMT? Report
March 26, 20233 yr comment_311388 Would have to cut from both sides but looks like a sash bit would do the trick. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284866841002?hash=item42536309aa:g:WvQAAOSwiGlfMXZO&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAwK8xmnRUeb8Us5QX4BEE6DEkgCBH87epuBpI2Y2fSu0JKDsEx0GUtCoR3Oo%2FiKbZfSrO8l9kQNU47suIiwdoiCz3j2BYcs6OPGs1ayopPUiGOetcPHkt2GTRYafZAU8YfskqRtKnLu4IN1hHJH14iAicQaFJJYTLdtn%2BzTxHuDtXU%2FlOtTaygL%2FmklpCbZbYgIAlHbTmNwpGMyRkOpaDmtYtOCdMOp%2FPXSJvSlr1xM7oGvDAl6FMFd9nFMz4xryjtQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7C8jtrjYQ Report
