Profile/Edge-Treatment Router Bits
These bits are indispensable for adding decorative profiles such as round overs, bullnoses, coves and ogees into the edges of cabinets, furniture, frames and millwork. You can use a combination of bits to create more complex profiles. Most have a bearing so the bit can be guided parallel with the edge of a workpiece. For better safety, the larger bit sizes should be used only in a router table equipped with a fence and not used free hand.

Specialty Router Bits

When you need to rout beads, reeds and flutes to embellish furniture, make slots for drawer bottoms or biscuit joinery, mill decorative trim moldings, or flatten a slab for a live-edge table, router bits that are made for a specific use make a difference in both your productivity and the ensuing results. For better safety, the larger router bits should be used only in a router table and not used free hand.
