1-1/4" Radius X 1/2" Shank Corner Round Router Bit

• The corner-rounding bit rounds an edge to a given radius
• The tool is shouldered to cut a fillet if required
• The cut can be used to ease edges, as a simple profile, or as a part of a complex one
• Other names for this router bit are round-over, rounding over and quarter-round
• If a smaller pilot bearing is used, a second shoulder can be produced, in effect making the bit a beading bit
• Rounded edges give a project a softer, smoother look
• The greater the radius of the round-over, the more pronounced this effect becomes
• Rounding an edge makes it more durable because it won't show dents, splinter, or lose its finish as easily as a sharp corner
• Like a blade that loses its sharp edge, a rounded corner is more "friendly" to people or objects that come in contact with it
• Manufacturers classify round-over bits according to the radius they cut
• So, a ³/₈ inch round-over bit cuts a ³/₈ inch radius, and so forth
