Strange Fruit Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 OKay, so im planning to start my first few guitars (not just one, but 3, Krazy inspired me to build more than one at once! its his fault) Anyway, i decided i wanted a really big roundover on the edges, so, i drew up this diagram to see if such a router bit like it existed: Any one?

Scott Rosenberger Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Yes, that bit is used for Table Edges You can get one here You want model # 3294 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truerussian558 Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 the one you need uses a 1/2in shank width, unless its a heavy duty big router its gonna be a 1/4in shank so that bit is to big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 oh dear.., i'm contageous Like scott said, table edge bits, leevalley and mlcs also carry those bits at slightly better prices Usually used for decorations, if they're set at the right depth they can be used as a round over bit aswell. Odd thing is i was thinking about round over bits just about an hour ago heh.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Jabsco Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 thats funny, today I was practicing on scrap wood with my roundover bit on my router table. I am getting ready to do a roundover on the bass im making. I am using a half inch roundover. If i had a larger one I would love to use that, but half inch is what i got, so its what i get. for the 1/2 in. shank problem, dont they make adapters? i think i have seen one for a drill press, and there are probley some for routers.

G_urr_A Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Since this thread is already "finished" as far as I can see, and it's already quite high, I just thought I'd pop by and say that I misread the title of this thread as "Root beer help" at first.
