Hey everyone! I'm looking for some guidance on making cathedral or arch top interior doors, especially from those who have experience in the field. I'm planning to create some for my house and I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about it. What do you guys use for creating the arch templates? Do you mostly rely on CNC machines or do you prefer using templates with a shaper? I currently have a shaper but not a CNC, and I'm leaning towards the shaper method, but I haven't found any good templates online. Any help would be appreciated!

I actually have a box of arch templates that came with some cutters I scored on Craigslist. They’re definitely marked for specific door sizes, but you likely won’t find them at places like Rockler. Try hitting up local lumberyards or specialty millwork shops. If all else fails, eBay might have some gems!
This is exactly the kind of info I needed! I’ll check those places. Any chance you can share a manufacturer from your templates?
