CMT Cove Bit with Bearing - 1 1/2" Diameter, 5/8" Cutting Height, 1/2" Radius, 1/4" Shank is a professional-grade router bit engineered to cut smooth, concave cove profiles along wood edges and surfaces. Crafted from HW (hardwood-grade carbide) and designed for right-hand rotation, this 2-flute cove router bit delivers the kind of refined, rounded edge detail that elevates furniture panels, cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and decorative trim from ordinary to elegant. Whether you are working at a router table, running a handheld router, or setting up a profile pass on a workpiece edge, this bearing-guided cove bit provides consistent, repeatable results with every cut.

Key Features

• 1/2" Cove Radius with Bearing Guide - the ball-bearing guide rides along the workpiece edge to control depth automatically, eliminating the need for a fence on most profiling passes and ensuring a uniform cove profile from start to finish.
• 1 1/2" Cutting Diameter - provides a broad, sweeping cove that suits furniture edges, door details, and decorative panel work where a substantial profile is desired.
• 5/8" Cutting Height - sufficient depth of cut to shape edges on standard furniture stock and cabinet door material in a single controlled pass.
• HW Carbide Material - hardwood-grade carbide construction maintains a sharp cutting edge through demanding hardwood and softwood applications, reducing the frequency of resharpening.
• 2-Flute Design - dual cutting edges balance feed rate and surface finish, producing a smooth cove surface that requires minimal sanding before finishing.
• 1/4" Shank - fits a wide range of standard routers and trim routers equipped with a 1/4" collet, making this bit accessible for both shop routers and lightweight handheld tools.
• Right-Hand Rotation - compatible with all standard right-hand-rotation routers, ensuring correct chip evacuation and a clean cut direction for edge profiling work.
• 2-9/32" Total Length - compact overall length keeps the bit stable in the collet and reduces vibration during profiling passes, contributing to a cleaner finished edge.

Why This Product

• The built-in bearing guide eliminates guesswork on freehand edge passes - you get a consistent 1/2" cove radius every time without setting up a fence, making it well suited for curved or irregular workpiece edges.
• The 1/4" shank broadens compatibility significantly - this cove bit works in compact trim routers as well as full-size router tables, so you can use the same bit across multiple machines in the shop.
• With a 1 1/2" diameter and 5/8" cutting height, this bit produces a full, visually substantial cove profile - ideal for furniture makers and cabinet builders who want an elegant edge detail on doors, drawer fronts, and panels without multiple passes.
• The 2-flute HW carbide construction is designed for longevity in hardwood and softwood applications, making this a practical long-term addition to a professional or serious hobbyist router bit set.
