The CMT Cavetto Edge Mould Bit brings a classic, elegant concave profile to furniture edges, cabinet doors, and decorative moulding projects. With a 1 1/4 in. cutting diameter, a 9/16 in. cutting height, and a 5/16 in. radius, this 2-flute, right-hand rotation bit cuts traditional cavetto cove profiles complete with top and bottom fillet grooves - delivering refined, period-correct detail in solid wood, plywood, MDF, and wood composites. The 1/4 in. shank fits a wide range of handheld routers and router tables, making it a versatile choice for woodworkers who want to add sophisticated edge detail without changing platforms. Whether you run the full profile for a traditional moulding effect or use just a portion of the cutter to produce a simpler, cleaner cove edge, this CMT bit gives you precise, repeatable results in hardwood and softwood alike.

Key Features

• Cavetto Profile Geometry - cuts a traditional quarter-round concave cove with top and bottom fillet grooves, adding refined decorative detail to furniture, cabinetry, and moulding work in a single pass.
• Versatile Partial-Profile Use - run only a portion of the cutting edge to create a simpler, cleaner cove edge without switching bits, giving you two distinct profile options from one tool.
• Solid Carbide-Tipped (HW) Cutters - hardwood-grade carbide tips stay sharp longer through demanding cuts in solid wood and wood composites, reducing the frequency of bit changes.
• 2-Flute Design - dual cutters balance the bit during rotation, producing smoother surfaces and reducing vibration for cleaner edge quality on finished workpieces.
• Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - standard direction matches virtually all handheld routers and router tables, ensuring straightforward, safe setup without special tooling.
• 1/4 in. Shank - fits the most common router collet size, making this bit compatible with a wide range of routers from compact trim routers to full-size table-mounted machines.
• 1 1/4 in. Cutting Diameter - provides a full, proportional cove profile with a 5/16 in. radius that reads clearly on furniture-scale edges without overpowering smaller workpieces.

Why This Product

• Traditional profile, modern convenience - the cavetto cove with fillet grooves is a classical woodworking detail that typically requires hand-plane work or custom tooling; this bit delivers it repeatably with a standard router setup.
• One bit, two profile options - using the full profile produces a traditional moulding; using only part of the cutting edge yields a simpler cove, so a single bit handles multiple design directions without extra cost.
• Broad material compatibility - the HW carbide tips cut cleanly through solid hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, MDF, and composite panels, making this bit useful across a full range of furniture and cabinet projects.
• 1/4 in. shank versatility - the compact shank diameter means this bit is accessible to woodworkers using lightweight trim routers as well as those working at a full-size router table, widening its practical applications.
