226 Cavetto Cutter tc with ball bearing

A cavetto cutter with a ball bearing is a type of router bit used in woodworking and carpentry. It is designed for creating concave profiles, often used for decorative edge molding or trimming workpieces. The ball bearing, which is typically located at the tip of the cutter, acts as a guide, allowing the operator to follow a template or edge of the workpiece accurately. Here’s how it works: Router: You need a compatible router that can accept the cavetto cutter with a ball bearing. Make sure your router has the appropriate collet size for the bit. Bit Installation: Install the cavetto cutter into the router’s collet and secure it in place with the collet nut. Template or Workpiece: You can use this type of bit with a template, or you can guide it along the edge of your workpiece.Routing: As you pass the router over the template or along the edge of the workpiece, the ball bearing on the tip of the bit will follow the contour, creating a concave profile in the wood.
