TCT Router Bits Each router bit features diamond ground, micro-grain tungsten carbide tipped blades. This tighter micro-grain structure means the blades offer long lasting hardness and superior edge retention. The body of each bit has been turned and then milled with uncompromising precision from a single piece of 4140 high tensile steel to give perfect balance for reduced vibration and therefore smoother cuts. 4140 steel has been chosen because of its toughness, high fatigue strength, and abrasion and impact resistance. The tungsten carbide tips are then brazed onto the bodies using induction to create an extremely strong joint that safely holds under the high stresses that occur when routing. The router bits are suitable for use on softwoods, hardwoods, veneers, laminates and composite materials.
Plunge Classical Roman Ogee Bits Plunge classical roman ogee bits are used to produce decorative edging as well as furniture and panel moulding. The cutting edge of these bits extends across the base, allowing them to be used within a plunge router to produce grooves across the face of material. These bits feature a roman ogee profile with a stepped edge, or fillet, separating the convex and concave curves and a further fillet along the top edge. When used on the front of cabinet doors or drawers, these bits give panels a raised appearance. Shallow passes will produce a roundover panel mould, whereas deeper cuts will produce a classical profile. These bits are also used to produce decorative edge moulding, commonly used on tabletops, mirrors and picture frames.
