Definition: The basic edge-forming bit, the corner-rounding bit rounds an edge to a given radius. The tool is shouldered to cut a fillet. The cut can be used to ease edges, as a simple profile, or as a part of a complex one. Also known as roundover, rounding over, and quarter-round. If a smaller pilot bearing is used, a second shoulder can be produced, in effect making the bit a beading bit.

  • HSS body and shank Strong body and shank construction for dependable router bit performance.

Extra Information

  • The CKP1208 is designed as a 1/2 inch shank corner round bit with a 3/8 inch round-over profile.
  • The bit should only be used in a compatible 1/2 inch router collet.
  • Ensure that at least 3/4 of the shank length is inserted into the router collet.
  • Do not bottom-out the bit in the collet. Leave approximately 1/8 inch clearance from the bottom of the collet.
  • When removing larger amounts of stock, route in two or more passes for better control and finish.
  • For outside edges, feed the router anti-clockwise. For inside edges or frames, feed clockwise when using a portable router.
  • Use a router table and fence whenever possible for improved control and repeatable edge profiles.

Pro Tips

  • Test the profile on a scrap piece of the same material before routing the final workpiece.
  • Use shallow passes rather than trying to remove too much material in one cut, especially with larger round-over profiles.
  • Keep the router base flat and steady against the workpiece to avoid uneven edges.
  • Make sure the bearing is clean and spins freely before use.
  • For best results, move the router smoothly and avoid stopping in one place while cutting.

How to Use

  • Make sure the router is switched off and unplugged before fitting the bit.
  • Insert at least 3/4 of the shank length into the router collet, leaving about 1/8 inch clearance from the bottom.
  • Tighten the collet securely according to the router manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Set the cutting depth to achieve the required 3/8 inch round-over profile.
  • Secure the workpiece firmly before routing.
  • Start the router and allow it to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece.
  • Feed the router steadily in the correct direction and avoid forcing the bit.
  • Switch off the router and wait for the bit to stop completely before removing it from the workpiece.

Safety

  • Always use the correct router bit for the job.
  • Using any tool can be dangerous when incorrect procedures are followed.
  • Always wear eye and ear protection when using a router.
  • Wear suitable gloves when handling the bit, as the cutting edges are sharp.
  • Follow all safety and use instructions supplied with your router.
  • Never use router bits that are dull, damaged or visibly worn.
  • The bit can become hot after use; allow it to cool before handling.
  • Do not force the bit or overload the router.
  • Use a router table and fence whenever possible, especially with larger diameter bits.
  • Use reduced speeds for larger diameter bits and always follow the router manufacturer’s speed guidance.
  • Failure to follow safety instructions and warnings can result in serious bodily injury.

In the box / Packaging:

  • 1 x Tork Craft CKP1208 Corner Round Router Bit 1/2 Inch X R3/8 Inch
  • Supplied in hanging card / blister packaging
Explaining the Specifications:
  • (d) -> The diameter of the shank or shaft. This size should be the same as the collet size of your router. Example: a small router is mostly supplied with a quarter inch collet that is 6,35 mm inside diameter.
  • Common collet sizes:
    • 1/4" collet = 6,35mm inside diameter
    • 8mm collet = 8mm inside diameter
    • 12mm collet = 12mm inside diameter
    • 1/2" collet = 12,7mm inside diameter
    • NOTE that the 12mm and the 12,7mm (1/2") sizing are often misunderstood. 1/4 inch is not 6mm but exactly 6,35mm. A 6mm shank will not fit in a 1/4 in collet. Wrong sizes will either break the collet or the bit will fall out.
  • TCT = Tungsten Carbide Tipped
  • Allways stay in the MAX Speed range of router bit
