thedeuce01 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 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 Cal, John Morris and Grandpadave52 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 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. Cal and Grandpadave52 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 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.

John Morris Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Not completely necessary, but I'm curious, do you a router table? Cal, lew and Grandpadave52 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpadave52 Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 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. Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Welcome aboard Munsey, glad to have you here. I am going to ask @steven newman to weigh in here, perhaps he has seen something similar. Grandpadave52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven newman Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 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? Grandpadave52 and Cal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Buskirk Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 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 Cal and Grandpadave52 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
