CMT 837.001.11 3 Piece Cove Bit Set by CMT gives woodworkers a complete collection of carbide-tipped cove router bits in a single package, covering the three most common concave edge radii used in furniture making, cabinetry, and decorative millwork. Each bit in this right-hand rotation set mounts on a standard 1/4 in. shank, making it compatible with a wide range of handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines. Whether you are shaping solid hardwood cabinet door edges, adding soft concave profiles to softwood furniture components, or routing cove details into MDF and melamine panels, this set delivers consistent, repeatable results across all three radius sizes.

Key Features

• 3-piece cove bit set with three radius sizes - includes 1/4 in., 3/8 in., and 1/2 in. radius bits so you can tackle a full range of concave edge profiles without purchasing individual bits separately, saving time and cost.
• Carbide-tipped (TCT) cutting edges - hard carbide tips stay sharp through extended routing sessions in hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic, reducing the frequency of bit changes and sharpening.
• CMT Orange Shield non-stick coating - prevents heat buildup during cutting, reduces pitch and resin accumulation on the bit body, and protects against corrosion, extending the working life of each bit across many projects.
• SinterHIP industrial chrome carbide - carbide processed via Hot Isostatic Pressing resists material failure at the cutting edge, maintaining sharp geometry longer even in demanding, continuous-feed routing applications.
• Tri-metal brazing (silver-copper-silver) - this three-layer brazing method bonds the carbide tip to the bit body with greater strength than single-layer brazing, reducing the risk of tip separation when routing harder wood species or composite materials.
• Anti-kickback design - limits the depth of cut per pass, which controls feed force and significantly reduces kickback risk, improving operator safety at both the router table and with handheld routers.
• 2-flute configuration - dual cutting edges balance the cut load, produce smoother cove profiles, and allow efficient chip clearance to keep the cut clean.
• 1/4 in. shank - fits the most widely available router collets, making this set immediately usable with the majority of trim routers, mid-size routers, and router table setups without adapters.
• Right-hand rotation - standard RH rotation matches all conventional router spindle directions, ensuring correct cutting geometry and smooth edge quality.
• Ball-bearing pilot guide - rides along the workpiece edge to maintain a consistent cove depth without the need for a fence, simplifying setup and improving accuracy on curved or irregular workpiece edges.

Why This Product

• One purchase covers three essential cove sizes - instead of sourcing 1/4 in., 3/8 in., and 1/2 in. cove bits one at a time, this set delivers all three in a matched, ready-to-use collection, making it ideal for woodworkers who regularly work across multiple profile sizes.
• Built for real woodworking materials - the carbide-tipped cutting edges and SinterHIP processing mean these bits perform reliably across solid hardwood, MDF, melamine, laminates, and composites, not just softwoods, giving you flexibility across cabinet, furniture, and millwork projects.
• Longer service life per bit - the combination of Orange Shield coating, SinterHIP carbide, and tri-metal brazing addresses the three most common causes of premature bit failure - heat, edge wear, and tip separation - so each bit lasts longer between sharpenings or replacements.
• Safer routing with the anti-kickback body design - the controlled depth-of-cut geometry is especially valuable for woodworkers routing at the router table or feeding stock into a CNC, where unexpected kickback can damage both the workpiece and the operator.
