The base molding is a new profile that we're now offering at Amana Tool. It is Amana Tool Base Molding Router Bit no.49216. To make the molding, I mill the stock approximately six inches wide, shape the profile on both edges, and then rip the molding free. The extra width enables me to position my hands a safe distance from the spinning bit. When ripping the molding I use the Amana Prestige sawblade because it leaves a smooth surface on the back of the molding which enables me to create a seamless fit when I apply the molding to the case.
