Create Custom Engravings and Decorative Grooves with Precision
Personalize cabinet doors, drawer fronts, panels, cutting boards, signs, and other woodworking projects with the CMT Round-Nose Bit. Designed to create smooth, rounded-bottom grooves and decorative engravings, this router bit gives woodworkers the flexibility to add distinctive patterns, lettering, and design details to a wide range of wood and wood-based materials.
Featuring a 3/4 in. diameter, 1-1/4 in. cutter height, and 1/2 in. shank, this bit is well suited for router-table applications where controlled, repeatable cuts are important. Its round-nose profile produces clean, smooth-bottomed grooves that can be used for decorative veining, engraving, fluting, sign making, and other creative woodworking applications.
CMT round-nose bits are available in solid carbide and carbide-tipped configurations, providing a variety of options for different woodworking requirements. With multiple diameters and cutting depths available, you can select the profile that best matches the look and depth of your project. When mounted in a router table, this bit can be used on materials up to approximately 1.24 in. deep.
These bits are also an excellent choice for creating a decorative "juice groove" or similar recessed channel in cutting and charcuterie boards. For more elaborate designs, pair the appropriate CMT round-nose bit with a template to create consistent patterns and distinctive decorative details on doors, drawer fronts, signs, and panels.
Ideal for Creative Woodworking Projects
Whether you're a professional sign maker, cabinetmaker, craftsperson, or hobbyist, the CMT Round-Nose Bit provides a versatile solution for adding decorative detail to your projects. Use it to create grooves, recessed designs, engraved patterns, decorative channels, and custom motifs in wood and wood products.
Shop Tips: For deeper grooves or cove-style profiles, making multiple passes is recommended rather than removing all the material in one cut. Begin with a shallow initial pass and gradually increase the cutting depth. This technique helps improve control, reduce strain on the router, and minimize the risk of splintering for a cleaner finished surface.
