To make moldings, you probably want to use a prism instead of a lathe.
(unless you're in rec.woodworking, where you'd use a shaper or a router

Assuming you mean miter-joint: yes.  Just intersect the prism from above with
a plane along the plane of the cut.

See the section in the manual that talks about CSG (Computational Solid
