Some Molding examples using our new Six Piece
Poole & Williams Windsor Beader Cutter Set
 |
Our new set of six Beader Cutters are designed to fit the antique Poole & Williams Windsor Beader. All of these cutters will work with either the first or second type P&W Beaders
Four of the cutters are copies of the original P&W designs* - plus we've added a scrapper blade and a six-sided, grind your own profile "blank" cutter. |
    |
Two parallel
beads are made in four operations. |
|
|
|||||
| This profile can make four beads at a time... | while this profile can make two. |
|
This cutter is ground on both sides with a small hand grinder or with a round file to make a sharp edge. The cutter offers a great variety of profiles enabling the user to make multiple beads, coves and ogees in one operation. |
 |
|
Depending on how it is positioned and angled this cutter can achieve many different profiles. This is another place where careful layout and removing some of the waste with a rabbet plane or a plow plane first can mean both less effort and a more consistent result. |
The moldings can be stacked to create even more elaborate profiles.
Be sure and watch this page for new information about grinding and dressing cutters plus more molding profiles!
