Pierce & Round Over

Plunge Bit

This

very special router bit is a round over bit with a slightly longer straight cutting

edge at the bottom. Round overs are classified by the radius they cut. A ½ inch

radius bit (12,7 mm) cut a round over with a ½ inch radius.

Rounded

edges give a project a softer, smoother look. The greater the radius of the round-over,

the more pronounced this effect becomes. By extending the bit slightly a fillet

can be produced.

Rounding an edge makes it more durable because it won’t show dents, splinter,

or lose its finish as easily as a sharp corner. Like a knife that loses its sharp

edge, a rounded corner is more ‘friendly’ to people or objects that come in contact

with it.

These anti-kickback bits have more body mass, and their enlarged bodies prevent

the bits from biting too deeply and catching on the material, a design that minimizes

the risk of work piece kick-back . The greater body mass also helps to dissipate

heat and keep the bits sharp for longer.

Using

an edge guide with the router, it is possible to use the router bit to round over

outside edges with a fillet or without.
