Edge Profile Router Bits

Benefits of Edge Profile Router Bits:

• Consistent Cuts: Regardless of the profile, all edge-forming bits have a baron bolted to them. This helps guide the travel of the bit relative to the edge, keeping the profile extremely consistent and safe to use.
• Decorative Touches: Create decorative and precise edges on a variety of woodworking pieces like furniture, cabinetry, trim, molding, and more.
• Easy-To-Use: These router bits are especially suited for beginners because they give you such excellent results. Using edge-profiling bits can be the least intimidating way to learn how to use a router tool.

There are five basic shapes you see most frequently in woodworking: chamfer, cove, round, bead, and flute. But, woodworkers can also combine these shapes to produce endless types of edge designs.
