Amana 49116 Features:
• The covetto form—produced by the cove bit—is one of the classic building blocks for many molding profiles.
• Use it alone or in combination with beads and fillets.
• Use the cove as well to detail the edges of casework, doors and drawers, posts and columns.
• The cove also makes up one-half of the rule joint used on drop-leaf tables.
• The other half is the corner-round.
• Use in handheld or table-mounted routers.
• Large-diameter tools must be run at reduced speed.
• For best results with a large radius cutter, make a preliminary cut with a smaller radius bit or chamfer the workpiece to reduce the amount of stock to be removed in the finish pass.
• This will produce a smoother finish and prolong tool life.
