Thread: lambs tongue

G'day Benzine,
Lambs tongue in my world comes up as "arrowhead" or "ogee".
Dunno if that's the profile you want but www.carbitool.com.au comes up with close approximations.

Benzine,
a few yrs ago I was in a similar situation as lambs tongue is not the same as ogee.

Luckily I only needed a few meters and the "senior citizen" had a spare blade for his Stanley45.

So a few minutes on a grinder and honing I was able to match the profile.

A few minutes planing (ok, 20min) not including beer breaks and I had 2x 3m lengths of lambs tongue ave

ps the closest a router cutter comes is the raised panel bit (Freud Pro code No 99-51350)

I have searched the web to no avail. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Lambs tongue would be a bit of a bitch to do on a router mate. Could you not do a deal with a local joinery shop..? Running through a spindle moulder would save you a ton of time...

I have a Lambs tongue cutter that was in a boxed set of profile cutters purchased from Timbecon a few years ago.
I expect they possibly still sell them, but I don't think they name any of the profile shapes in that series of cutters. So they mighn't be able to identify by the term lamb's tongue.
