Key Features & Benefits
- Decorative 1/16" edge bead — produces a classic bead-and-fillet profile used in traditional American furniture-making and fine cabinetry.
- Ball bearing guide — tracks against the workpiece face with no fence required; perfectly suited to curved and freehand edge work.
- Convertible to rounding over — replace the TB9 bearing with a larger TB11 to eliminate the bottom fillet and produce a clean rounding over profile instead.
- Machine height adjustability — drop the cutter into the workpiece using the router's height adjuster to include or exclude the top corner bead for profile variety.
- 2-flute carbide-tipped construction — long tool life and clean cuts across hardwoods, softwoods and composites.
When to Use This Bit
Choose the T606B when you need a traditional bead-and-fillet edge profile on furniture, frames, cabinet doors or architrave details. The TB9 bearing exposes the bottom corner of the cutter for the classic bead; swapping to TB11 converts it to a rounding over profile — making this one of the most versatile edge bits in the Carbitool range. Radii in the R617 series run from 1/16" (T602B) through to 1-1/4" (T640B 1/2).
Pro Tip: Use the router table height adjustment to selectively include only the top or only the bottom section of the profile. Running the bit slightly deeper engages the bottom bead; shallower excludes it — giving you multiple distinct profiles from a single bit setup.
