Router Bit Core Box 3/8'

Cutting Diameter: 3/8"
Classification: Standard (Yellow)

The Core Box Router Bit is an essential tool for creating a variety of decorative and functional rounded grooves, channels, and slots in woodworking projects.

Characterized by its half-round (or semi-circular) cutting profile and typically made with durable materials like Tungsten Carbide Tips (TCT) for superior sharpness and longevity, this bit is designed to plunge into the material to form a round-bottom groove.

Its primary application is to produce a round bottom groove or channel, ideal for decorative work like fluting on columns, creating reeding patterns, veining, or general ornamentation on furniture and panels. By using an edge guide, it can also be used to cut coves. Compatible with hand-held, table-mounted, and CNC routers, Core Box Bits are versatile for use with a wide range of materials including hard woods, soft woods, plastics, and various composite materials.

Available in various diameters and corresponding radius measurements, selecting the correct shank size for your router's collet is crucial for both safety and optimal performance.

Application:

• Router bits are for use with router machines only.
• Be sure that at least 3/4 of the shaft length is inserted into the router collet.
• Do not 'bottom-out' the bit in the collet. The shank should be 1/8' from the bottom of the collet.
• Route in two or more passes when large amounts of stock must be removed.
