Moulding Cutters

In the ordinary or common form of moulding cutter, the front face is flat and the lower end is bevelled off and filed to shape so as to give the required shape and keenness to the cutting edges, Fig. 3193 giving examples of such cutters.

Cutters of this class must be sharpened by filing the bevelled edge, which requires considerable skill in order to preserve the exact shape of the moulding.
