CMT Roundover Bit with Bearing - 2" Diameter, 3/4" Radius, 1/2" Shank is a carbide-tipped router bit engineered to produce smooth, consistent curved edge profiles on wood, composite panels, and other workpiece materials. With a 3/4" radius and a 2" cutting diameter, this bit is sized for substantial roundover profiles - ideal for furniture edge work, cabinet doors, tabletops, and decorative trim. CMT builds this bit from fatigue-proof steel with carbide-tipped cutting edges and a ball-bearing guide that pilots along the workpiece edge, delivering repeatable depth of cut pass after pass. Bits with a radius of 1" or larger are designed for router table use, making this a dedicated router table bit for controlled, safe operation on larger profiles.

Key Features

• Carbide-Tipped (HW) Cutting Edges - industrial-grade carbide tips maintain sharpness through repeated cuts in hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and composite materials, reducing the frequency of resharpening or replacement.
• Fatigue-Proof Steel Body - the bit body is manufactured from fatigue-proof steel, which resists stress fractures and deformation under the continuous rotational loads of router table use, contributing to long-term reliability.
• Ball-Bearing Guide Pilot - the bearing rolls along the workpiece edge to regulate cutting depth automatically, producing a uniform 3/4" radius profile without the need for fences or jigs in most setups.
• 2-Flute (2-Tooth) Design - two carbide cutting edges provide a balanced cut with good surface finish, reducing tearout on edge profiles in solid hardwood and engineered wood panels.
• Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - standard right-hand rotation is compatible with virtually all router tables and handheld routers, making it straightforward to integrate into existing setups.
• 1/2" Shank Diameter - the 1/2" shank provides maximum rigidity and reduced vibration compared to 1/4" shank bits, which is especially important when routing large-radius profiles at the 2" cutting diameter this bit operates at.
• Black Bearing Washer Orientation - the bearing assembly uses a directional washer that must be kept right-side-up during reassembly to match bearing rotation, preventing the bit from unscrewing during use - an important safety design detail.

Why This Product

• A 3/4" radius roundover is among the larger profiles in the CMT roundover lineup - suited to furniture legs, tabletop edges, and architectural millwork where a bold, smooth curve is the design goal rather than a subtle softened corner.
• The ball-bearing pilot eliminates the guesswork of setting fence depth for roundover cuts, allowing the bit to self-reference off the workpiece edge and deliver consistent results across long runs of material.
• CMT offers 13 different radii in their roundover bit series, and this bit's 1/2" bearing diameter specification means it fits within the standard CMT roundover family - making it easy to pair with other CMT profile bits for coordinated edge treatments on a single project.
• At 2-57/64" total length with a 1" cutting height, this bit has sufficient depth to handle thick stock in a single router table pass, reducing the number of passes needed and improving workflow efficiency on production or shop work.
