Key Features & Benefits
- Classical cove profile — produces a traditional concave moulding with small shoulder fillets, matching heritage furniture and joinery profiles.
- Carbide-tipped construction — maintains sharp cutting edges through production runs in hardwood, MDF, and softwood.
- 2-flute design — smooth, chatter-free cuts at standard router table feed rates.
- Raise/lower for profile variety — adjusting the bit height in the router table reveals different portions of the profile for alternative moulding shapes.
When to Use This Bit
Use the TC 12 1/2 for panel door rails and stiles, furniture edge mouldings, skirting board details, and decorative face profiles. Run in a table-mounted router with a fence for edge work, or with a template guide for face mouldings. The R598 series offers multiple sizes — choose the diameter to match your timber thickness and desired profile width. For a bearing-guided version, see the R631/R632/R633 classical bearing series.
Pro Tip: For the cleanest profile finish in hardwood, take two passes: a light first pass at half depth to score the profile, then a full-depth finishing pass at a slightly slower feed rate. Always feed against the cutter rotation direction.
