CMT Roundover Bit - 1/8 in. Radius - 1/4 in. Shank

CMT Round Over Bit – 1/8 in. Radius – 1/4 in. Shank

Few router bits are as versatile and frequently used as a Roundover Bit. This popular profile is perfect for everyday woodworking tasks, such as softening sharp edges, while also providing the precision needed for more detailed projects like drop leaf tables when paired with CMT Cove Bits of the same radius.

Safety tips: Always wear a dust mask and eye protection when routing to help protect yourself from airborne particles and debris.

Safety precautions: Never use damaged or worn router bits. Always follow the recommended feed rate and avoid forcing the bit through the material. Take extra care when making the initial cut with smaller diameter bits. For the best results and a cleaner finish, make multiple passes when working with small diameter bits.

How CMT Produces High-Quality Router Bits

• Turning, Milling and Cutting: CMT continues to invest in advanced manufacturing technology to ensure exceptional accuracy and performance. Today, fully automated machinery and specially trained CNC operators help produce router bits and boring bits with precisely machined shanks and perfectly balanced bodies.
• Heat-Forged Steel Bodies for Large Diameter Bits: Every router bit is carefully engineered for its specific application. Larger diameter bits may require additional manufacturing steps, including heat forging the steel before precision machining. This process creates a radial grain structure that adds strength, stability, and durability where it matters most.
• Advanced Brazing Technology: CMT has refined the brazing process with custom-designed computerized equipment that delivers consistent, reliable results. The unique silver-copper-silver brazing sandwich creates a strong bond between the steel body and carbide tips while providing shock absorption to help protect the carbide during demanding cuts in harder woods.
• Specially Formulated Carbide for Every Application: Different woodworking projects require different cutting solutions. CMT carefully develops carbide formulations to match each application, from ultra-hard compositions for challenging materials like laminates to more impact-resistant blends designed for large profile cuts.
• Precision Grinding and Sharpening: The final step in CMT’s manufacturing process is completed with the same attention to detail as every step before it. Multi-axis CNC machines grind and sharpen each cutting edge to exact specifications, creating router bits that deliver exceptional sharpness, smooth performance, and long-lasting durability.
