🛠️ Rounding Over Router Bit (Quarter Round) with Bearing
Do you want to get rid of sharp edges and give your pieces a professional look? The rounding over router bit is a basic tool in any carpenter's kit. With a concave profile that creates a perfect quarter round, this bit quickly transforms any rough edge into a fine, aesthetic border.
It is ideal for working with solid hardwood or softwood, as well as composite materials such as MDF, chipboard, or plastic.
✅ Advantages and Features:
-
Bearing Guide: Equipped with a precision bearing that allows you to rout along the contour without the need for additional guides. Perfect for round tables, arches, or irregular shapes.
-
Carbide (Vidia) Cutters: High-density carbide inserts ensure a clean cut, free of burn marks, and much greater wear resistance compared to classic steel.
-
Quarter Round Profile: Creates that classic rounding ("radius"), essential for shelves, kitchen countertops, or chair armrests.
-
Universal Use: Suitable for all handheld routers (oberfrez) or bench routers.
💡 Tips for Craftsmen:
-
Depth Adjustment: If you lower the bit more than the quarter round's radius, you can achieve a decorative profile with a "step" (stop), offering a classic border design.
-
Working Speed: For hard wood essences (oak, beech), we recommend a quick pass for roughing and a second very fine pass for a mirror finish.
