Mitered Cabinet Door Molding Knives

Mitered Cabinet Door Overview

Mitered cabinet door molding is a decorative trim used to construct classic cabinet door frames, particularly those with mitered corners. This molding creates a seamless, angled transition at each corner of the door frame, delivering a clean, professional look. Commonly found in traditional and raised panel cabinetry, mitered profiles add architectural interest and framing detail to cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and furniture panels.

Profile Description

  • Designed to create decorative edges around cabinet door frames with precise 45-degree mitered corners.
  • Often includes a combination of beaded, coved, or ogee elements for added detail and depth.
  • Typically sized to complement standard cabinet stile and rail dimensions.
  • Compatible with both raised panel and flat panel cabinet door styles.
  • Available in a variety of profiles to match popular cabinet design trends.

Purpose

  • Enhances cabinet doors with elegant, mitered frame details for a refined, finished appearance.
  • Adds decorative character to kitchen, bath, and built-in cabinetry.
  • Helps define the perimeter of door panels while complementing raised or recessed center panels.
  • Offers flexibility in creating custom cabinet doors or updating existing cabinetry with a high-end look.

Common Uses

Cabinet Door Construction: Used to shape the molding around the stiles and rails of mitered cabinet doors.

Furniture Panels: Applied to drawer fronts, end panels, or furniture face frames to add dimension and detail.

Custom Woodworking: Ideal for custom cabinetry shops that want to offer distinct, upscale cabinet door options.

Architectural Millwork: Used in paneling and built-ins where mitered joinery is preferred over cope-and-stick construction.

How a Profile Molding Knife Works

  1. The profile knife itself is a piece of metal designed to be attached to a planer or molding machine.
  2. The profile of the cutting edge replicates the specific design of the mitered door molding you want to create.
  3. By running wood planks through the machine with the profile knife attached, the wood is shaped into the desired mitered door molding profile.
