Use this router bit to produce three slightly different profiles...
- An edge bead with or without a fillet
- and a full corner bead by altering the bit extension or rolling/flipping the workpiece between passes.
- The corner bead router bit is suitable for antique reproductions and restoration projects.
- Use it in a handheld or table-mounted router.
This router bit has a 6,35mm shank (shaft) that will fit most small or large routers. Please ensure that you select a router bit with a shank (shaft) size that will fit into your router collet.
PRO-TECH router bits are manufactured in Taiwan.
Router Bit Maintenance
_x000D_Fortunately, this is pretty easy. The best way to prolong the life of a router _x000D_ bit is to keep it clean. And what you need to do varies with the type of bit._x000D_
_x000D_Note: Sharpening is extremely important too.
_x000D_A. No Bearings:
_x000D_To clean bits without bearings, first blow off any dust. Then remove any resin _x000D_ that has built up. (Resin places a drag on the bit which can cause it to overheat _x000D_ and burn.)
_x000D_Resin removers are available. It's the same stuff you use to clean your saw blades._x000D_
_x000D_B. Bits with Bearings:
_x000D_To clean bits with bearings, first, remove the bearing. Then clean the bit as _x000D_ you did with non-bearing bits.
_x000D_It's important to remove the bearings because even though router bearings are _x000D_ 'sealed,' resin remover can sneak in and dissolve the bearing grease. If this were _x000D_ to happen, you would be faced with the problem of trying to lubricate a sealed bearing._x000D_
_x000D_Despite the claims of bearing grease sellers, we've never had much luck with _x000D_ this. Once that grease is gone, just go buy a new bearing.
_x000D_C. Bit Shanks:
_x000D_Periodically inspect the shanks of your router bits for rust or burrs. Either _x000D_ of these can be removed quickly with ScotchBrite®. Left on, they can _x000D_ interfere with your ability to properly tighten the bit in the collet.
_x000D_How Fast Should a Router be Running?_x000D_
_x000D_If you've got a router with variable speed, then you've got the power to improve _x000D_ the quality of your cut. In general, the larger the bit, the slower the speed you _x000D_ need. The perfect solution for dealing with varying bit sizes is a variable speed _x000D_ router.
_x000D_Here are general guidelines for most bits:
_x000D_Hand Held Router Use
_x000D_| Bit size | _x000D_Bit size | _x000D_rpm | _x000D_
| Small – 12.7 mm | _x000D_1/16' to 1/2' | _x000D_22,000+ | _x000D_

Router Table Safety
_x000D_Although most router bits are small, they can be potentially dangerous and should _x000D_ deserve your attention and respect.
_x000D__x000D_
1 _x000D_
Use push sticks or a push block to position your hands a safe distance from the _x000D_
router bit.
_x000D_ _x000D_ 2 Use large-diameter bits only in a router table. Using bits over 25mm Ø _x000D_ (diameter) in a handheld router can possibly cause you to lose control of the tool _x000D_ and harm yourself or bystanders.
_x000D__x000D_ _x000D_ 3 Always wear a dust mask as well as eye and hearing protection.
_x000D__x000D_ _x000D_ 4 Take light cuts. Heavy cuts invite kickback. If necessary, move the fence _x000D_ closer to the bit or switch to a larger guide bearing/bush.
_x000D__x000D_ _x000D_ 5 Use a featherboard (anti-kickback device) to support the workpiece against _x000D_ the router table and/or fence.
_x000D__x000D_
6 _x000D_
Never climb-cut. Always feed the stock from right to left. Against the rotation _x000D_
of the router bit. (see illustration)
_x000D_ _x000D_ 7 Avoid routing small stock. Instead, rout a larger piece and cut it to size _x000D_ afterwards. If you absolutely have to profile a small piece, build an suitable jig _x000D_ or secure the workpiece.
_x000D__x000D_ _x000D_ 8 Always use a guard. If the fence didn’t come with a guard, make your own.
_x000D__x000D_ _x000D_ 9 Never start the router with the bit in contact with the material.
_x000D__x000D_ _x000D_ 10 Don’t force the router bit or overload the router. Excessive heat is an _x000D_ enemy.
_x000D__x000D_ _x000D_ 11 Secure/fasten the router in the base before starting/switch on the router.
_x000D__x000D_
12 _x000D_
Don’t bottom out the bit in the collet or partially insert the bit. Instead, completely _x000D_
insert the bit, and then back off approximately 2 mm. At least 2/3 _x000D_
's of the router bit shank should be inside the collet.
_x000D_ _x000D_ 13 Be sober and not under the influence of medicine that causes a lack of _x000D_ concentration
_x000D__x000D_ _x000D_ 14 Tidy up your workshop to ensure the ability to move freely with enough _x000D_ room around the router table
