Abstract
A work piece cutting apparatus for cutting profiles on the angular end of contoured molding sections. A system having a block and table allowing for fine, precision, longitudinal and transverse movements of a cutting member to impart angular cuts to the molding section. The cuts result in a profile corresponding to the molding contour enabling the cut work piece to interconnect in a smooth, flush-fitting corner joint. No template is required.
