Round Nose Bits by MLCS
For fluting, grooving, edge forming & sign making
Also known as core box, reeding or veining bits, you'll find many uses for these bits such as in fluting flat surfaces in mantels, doors, drawers, panels, columns and general decorative trim work. Ideal bit for sign making, toy building, or just adding that beautiful little accent to a fine piece furniture. Make European style drawer front finger pulls. High up-shear angle lifts the chips out. Using an edge guide or in your router table, you can also use these bits to produce cove style edges and joints. All bits two-flute, carbide-tipped (except P13-2001 and P13-2002, which are SINGLE flute).
