Round Over Router Bit with Bearing – T.C.T. Carbide | R4 mm | D18 mm | Z2
Router bit with shank and T.C.T. (Carbide) guide bearing, with two active cutting edges (Z2), for rounding over edges with an R4 mm quarter-circle profile. The top-mounted bearing faithfully follows the contour of the material — no guide rails needed, directly on the edge of the workpiece, including curved shapes, round tables, or irregular countertops. Available with a shank of Ø6 mm or Ø8 mm — select from the menu.

✨ CONSTRUCTION ADVANTAGES:
-
Guide Bearing – No Auxiliary Guides: the bearing faithfully follows the contour of the workpiece, including curved shapes, round tables, countertops, or arches — impossible to achieve with a standard parallel guide.
-
T.C.T. Carbide – No Burning: carbide inserts ensure clean chip removal without tear-out and excellent resistance to abrasive wear on particleboard, MDF, plastic, and solid wood.
-
Profile with or without Step: by adjusting the router bit depth 0.5–1 mm deeper than the board's surface, a small aesthetic step above the radius is achieved — a classic cornice look.
-
Symmetrical Z2 – Minimum Vibrations: the two balanced cutting edges eliminate idle vibrations and protect the router's bearings.
-
Interchangeable Bearing: can be replaced separately when worn, without changing the router bit.
📊 MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY
Excellent: clean rounding, no tear-out, smooth edge ready for varnishing.
Excellent: carbide resists abrasive synthetic binders in wood-based panels.
Very good: we recommend two passes — one quick for the bulk of the material, one fine for a mirror finish.
Good: lower speed recommended to avoid melting plastic.
🛠️ ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION TIPS:
-
Simple rounding vs. profile with step: for simple rounding, align the top edge of the cutting blade with the board's surface. For a decorative profile with a step, lower the router bit by 0.5–1 mm — achieving a classic cornice look.
-
Two passes on hardwoods: for oak, beech, or ash, do not force a single slow pass (risk of scorching). The first quick pass removes the bulk of the material, the second fine pass provides a mirror finish.
-
Bearing maintenance: after working on resinous wood (pine, fir) or MDF, clean the bearing of resin deposits with a degreasing spray and apply a drop of fine oil — ensure free rotation without friction marks on the edge.
