Key Features & Benefits
- Precision tool geometry — delivers extra-smooth, chatter-free cuts for a consistent edge profile every pass.
- Ball bearing guide — rides against the workpiece face so no fence or edge guide is needed; ideal for curved and irregular edges.
- Convertible profile — swap the included TB11 bearing for a TB9 bearing to expose the bottom corner of the cutter and produce a 1/16" edge bead instead of a rounded-over edge.
- 2-flute carbide-tipped construction — long tool life and clean cuts across a wide range of timber species and sheet materials.
- 1/4″ shank — fits routers and router tables suited to this shank size.
When to Use This Bit
Choose the T516B when you need a 1/2″ rounding over edge on furniture components, frames, shelving or trim work. The ball bearing guide makes it the right choice for curved workpieces or template-guided routing where a fence isn't practical. Other radii in this R613 series range from 1/16" (T502B) up to 1-1/4" (T540B 1/2) to suit any edge profile requirement.
Pro Tip: To convert the T516B into a beading bit, replace the standard TB11 bearing with a smaller TB9 bearing. This exposes the bottom corner of the cutter, producing a small bead detail on the lower edge of the profile — no second bit required.
