I will be making a entertainment center that has some gooseneck moulding . I will be purchasing the correct Amana bits to do this . But, this project has 2 pieces of curved or radius moulding that I will not be able to lay flat on the table and cut the profiles using the gooseneck bits. They will have to be shaped with the work pieces at 90 degrees to the router bits. Is this possible? Can I have some bits made to do this? I have talked to a tooling place that makes router bits and they said yes. Are they correct? I sure hope so! All machining will be done on a router table, with a variable speed router.

Most any crown molding profile can be shaped on a radius or gooseneck curve. Radius crown is typically laminated to avoid creating weak, short grain. The
curve of "S" curved, sometimes called gooseneck, molding is usually bandsawn from wide stock.
After creating the curve, the molding profile is shaped with router bits, shaper cutters, and/or carving gouges depending upon the size and complexity of the profile. I will be glad to help to determine the best approach, however, I'll need an accurate drawing of the molding profile.
