Cove Router Bits

2 Flute with Ball Bearing Guide

The covetto form—produced by the cove bit—is one of the classic building blocks for many molding profiles. Use it alone or in combination with beads and fillets. Use the cove as well to detail the edges of casework, doors and drawers, posts and columns. The cove also makes up one-half of the rule joint used on drop-leaf tables. The other half is the corner-round. Use in handheld or table-mounted routers. Large-diameter tools must be run at reduced speed. For best results with a large radius cutter, make a preliminary cut with a smaller radius bit or chamfer the workpiece to reduce the amount of stock to be removed in the finish pass. This will produce a smoother finish and prolong tool life.

†Not guaranteed due to extreme diameter and radius. For best results it is recommended to use a smaller radius bit or chamfer the material prior to using these large radius tools. Tool life will be prolonged and a smoother finish will result.

Replacement bearings #'s 49120, 49121 & 49122 use #47706.
All others tools use #47704 bearing.

Warning: Maximum RPM 12! = 12,000; 18! = 18,000

♦USE IN A TABLE MOUNTED ROUTER. NOT FOR USE IN A HAND HELD ROUTER!
