Replacement Trim made with my CNC

 

Pine Trim
A friend need a little trim to replace some that had rotted on her house. She sent a photo which got me close to the profile shape, but an actual section of the trim finalized the vector shape needed to cut it out using my CNC.

The angled top and bottom edges I cut using my table saw after the CNC was done with the curved face on the right side.

She could find no commercial source that wanted to make such a small amount of what is apparently a no-longer made trim shape.  I had a pine board with fairly straight grain that was thick enough to cut the trim from. I cut the two strip shapes on one board, then separated them using my table saw.  

A quick job.  It was fairly easy to make the needed vector outline.  The CNC using a file created with the Moulding toolpath in Aspire had no trouble cutting the extruded shapes.
