Bearing Router Bit for Edge Rounding – T.C.T. Carbide | R5 mm | D20 mm | Z2
Shank router bit with T.C.T. (Carbide) guide bearing, with two active cutting edges (Z2), for rounding edges with a quarter-round R5 mm profile. The bearing mounted at the tip faithfully follows the contour of the material — without guide rails, directly on the edge of the workpiece, including curved shapes, round tables, or irregular countertops. Available with Ø6 mm or Ø8 mm shank — 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 cutting without tearing and resist abrasive wear excellently on chipboard, MDF, plastic, and solid wood.
-
Profile with or without Step: By setting the router bit depth 0.5–1 mm deeper than the board surface, a small aesthetic step above the radius is created — a classic cornice appearance.
-
Symmetrical Z2 – Minimal 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 tearing, smooth edge directly ready for varnishing.
Excellent: carbide resists abrasive synthetic binders in derived panels.
Very good: we recommend two passes — a fast one for the bulk of the material, a fine one for a mirror finish.
Good: lower speed recommended to avoid melting the plastic.
🛠️ ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION TIPS:
-
Simple rounding vs. stepped profile: For simple rounding, align the top edge of the cutter with the board surface. For a decorative stepped profile, 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 in a single slow pass (risk of scorching). The first quick pass removes the bulk of the material, the second fine pass gives a mirror finish.
-
Bearing maintenance: After working on resinous wood (pine, spruce) 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.
