Key Features & Benefits
- Versatile classical moulding profile — produces the classic concave-then-convex cove-and-bead form used widely on furniture, panel doors and architectural moulding.
- Combination bit capability — use only part of the profile by adjusting the bit height, giving you multiple distinct edge forms from one bit.
- Bearing-swappable — fit TB9 bearing to expose the bottom bead; fit TB11 to eliminate it for a cleaner cove-only profile.
- Ball bearing guide — follows the workpiece face accurately without a fence; ideal for curved work and templates.
- 2-flute carbide-tipped construction — consistent cuts across hardwoods, softwoods, MDF and composites.
When to Use This Bit
Choose the TC16B 1/2 for classical-style moulding on furniture, cabinet doors, architrave and panelling. The height-adjustable profile and bearing options give you top-bead-only, bottom-bead-only, or full classical cove-and-bead — up to three distinct profiles from one bit. For the traditional reversed form, see the Carbitool Roman Ogee series (T5705B/T5708B).
Pro Tip: Run the TB9 bearing for the full classical form including the bottom bead. Swap to TB11 to remove the bottom bead and produce a simpler cove profile — useful when making matching panel door components.
