Key Features & Benefits
- Large Traditional Classical Profile — the R6.35mm radius produces a full, substantial moulding step suited to wider timber rails, stiles, and architrave-scale work.
- 1/2″ Shank — the heavy 1/2″ shank provides maximum rigidity for this larger cutter, reducing vibration and ensuring a clean, chatter-free finish at the full profile depth.
- 2-Flute Carbide-Tipped Construction — long service life in hardwoods and MDF; carbide tips maintain sharpness significantly longer than HSS.
- No Bearing — Router Table Use — run against a fence for precise, repeatable moulding on long workpieces; ideal for production runs.
When to Use This Bit
The TTC 16 1/2 is the go-to choice when you need a larger, bolder traditional classical moulding profile — suited to heavier timber such as 42mm rails, wider architraves, and mantelpiece components. Run it on a router table with a fence for consistent, clean results. For the equivalent profile with a ball bearing guide (for template work or arch routing), choose the TTC 16 B 1/2.
Pro Tip: With larger profile bits like this one, take at least two passes: a roughing cut at half depth, then a finishing pass at full depth. This reduces load on the bit and gives a much cleaner profile in hardwoods.
