97" x 2" Radius L-Molding

97 x 2 Radius L-Molding For Smooth Corners

97 x 2 Radius L-Molding from Lakewood is a machined medium density fiberboard molding designed to create smooth, consistent radius corners between two right angle cabinet panels. The 2 inch radius profile shapes the outside corner so a sharp 90 degree transition becomes a flowing curve, which helps cabinet fabricators achieve a more finished look on exposed edges. This L molding model accepts 3/4 inch panels, so it matches common cabinet side and end panel thicknesses in many shop-built units. Because the molding is machined, not formed, the radius and faces stay consistent along the 97 inch length, which supports repeatable results across multiple cabinets in the same run. The MDF construction provides a uniform surface that is suitable for painting or laminating over, allowing the finished corner to match surrounding cabinet finishes and materials.

Radius L-Molding Details That Support Workflow

• The 97 inch length spans tall cabinets or multiple shorter runs, reducing joints along vertical or horizontal corners and helping maintain a continuous 2 inch radius line.
• The 2 inch radius is designed to break the corner between two right angle panels into a controlled curve, which simplifies layout when planning matching radiused components.
• The L molding profile is specifically designed to radius the corner between two right angle panels, so fabricators can detail outside corners without building custom curved parts.
• Construction from medium density fiberboard (MDF) creates a stable, uniform substrate, giving a consistent base for paint or laminate across the entire molded corner.
• The molding is suitable for painting or laminating over, so the same stock can serve painted cabinet jobs or laminated commercial work without changing core materials.
• Being machined rather than formed keeps dimensions and faces accurate along the run, which supports alignment when matching to adjacent 3/4 inch panels.

Mounting Radius L-Molding To 3/4 Inch Panels

This Lakewood 97 x 2 Radius L-Molding is designed to work with 3/4 inch panels, so its interior dimensions and profile are proportioned to that common cabinet thickness. The L shape is intended to sit over the outside corner where two right angle panels meet, so the fabricator positions the panels at 90 degrees and applies the molding to create the 2 inch radius transition. Because the molding is machined medium density fiberboard, the surfaces and edges are consistent along the length, which supports accurate alignment during fitting and bonding. The full 97 inch length allows installers to run the molding over tall pantry cabinets or long casework corners in a single piece, reducing layout time around splices.

Using MDF Radius Moldings In Cabinet Projects

Where This MDF Radius L-Molding Fits Best

This Lakewood radius molding is part of a radius moldings line designed for cabinet fabricators who want smooth, consistent radius corners in their units. The L molding version specifically handles the corner between two right angle panels, so it works on outside cabinet corners where a 90 degree turn would otherwise be exposed. With a 2 inch radius profile, it suits designs calling for relatively tight but still visually soft corners, such as casework ends or island corners needing a defined curve. The molding accepts 3/4 inch panels, aligning with many cabinet carcass constructions that use 3/4 inch sheet goods for sides, bottoms, and tops. Because the molding is made of machined medium density fiberboard, it adapts to a range of shop environments where MDF-based components are already standard.

Why Machined MDF Radius Supports Consistent Results

The 97 x 2 Radius L-Molding uses a machined, not formed, MDF body, which keeps the 2 inch radius and face geometry consistent along the full 97 inch length, supporting repeatable alignment from piece to piece. This consistency helps fabricators maintain the same corner look across a run of cabinets or across matching cabinets in different rooms. The MDF construction provides a smooth, uniform surface that is suitable for painting, so finishing systems can build color and topcoats evenly over the radius without chasing irregularities. The same MDF surface is suitable for laminating over, so laminate installers can wrap decorative surfacing materials seamlessly around the 2 inch radius to visually connect adjacent panels. Because different models in the radius molding line accept either 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch panels and offer 2, 3, 4, and 6 inch radii, the 3/4 inch, 2 inch radius L molding fits into a broader system, helping shops match this piece to other radius conditions in a project while keeping the same basic material and fabrication approach.

Common Questions About Lakewood Radius L-Molding

Selecting This Radius L-Molding For Your Next Run

The Lakewood 97 x 2 Radius L-Molding gives cabinet fabricators a machined MDF solution for creating 2 inch radius outside corners between 3/4 inch panels. By using this molding where two right angle panels meet, a sharp cabinet edge becomes a smooth, repeatable curve along the full 97 inch length. The surface is suitable for painting or laminating over, so it can support both paint-grade and laminate projects from the same core profile. For jobs that call for consistent, radiused corners within a broader radius molding system, this 3/4 inch, 2 inch radius L molding offers a defined role in the layout.
