Router Bit – Roundover and Ovolo with Bearings
TCT Router Bits
Each router bit features diamond ground, micro-grain tungsten carbide tipped blades. This tighter micro-grain structure means the blades offer long lasting hardness and superior edge retention. The body of each bit has been turned and then milled with uncompromising precision from a single piece of 4140 high tensile steel to give perfect balance for reduced vibration and therefore smoother cuts. 4140 steel has been chosen because of its toughness, high fatigue strength, and abrasion and impact resistance. The tungsten carbide tips are then brazed onto the bodies using induction to create an extremely strong joint that safely holds under the high stresses that occur when routing. The router bits are suitable for use on softwoods, hardwoods, veneers, laminates and composite materials.
Roundover and Ovolo with Bearings Bits
Roundover and ovolo with bearings bits are used to produce either a rounded over or more classical ovolo profile, depending on which of the 2 supplied bearings are selected. A roundover will provide a smooth radius, softening the appearance of exposed edges on furniture, moulding, tables and shelves. The ovolo profile adds a 1.6mm stepped edge, or fillet along the bottom profile. Adjusting the cutting height will add or remove a further fillet along the resulting top edge. Two equal passes either side of stock will produce a fully rounded, bull nosed edge, suitable for stair treads.
Superior Finish and Performance
The shearing angle of the cutting edges ensure they remain in constant contact with the workpiece to allow a smoother, slicing cut which eliminates tear-out and gives a mirror finish. The bits feature right hook angles which further enhances the cut due to the fast removal of chips. These bits feature an anti-kickback design which limits the feed rate of the material being cut to decrease the likelihood of a kickback, meaning each bit conforms to strict German DIN standards to ensure maximum operator safety. ©
