Amana Tool 56123 Carbide Tipped Point Cutting Roundover Router Bit Rounding 1/4 R x 1/2 D x 1/2 x 1/4 Shank x 2 Inch Long

This bit works very well.You won’t be disappointed !

This roundover bit for my CNC work is perfect for what I am doing. I’m quite pleased with the effect it gives in the hardwoods I work with and think it’d be great for your routing and CNC work, too.

I was able to use this bit in the process of duplicating some Victorian era trim on short notice.. worked very well.

The item arrived quickly, and as advertised. The bit is perfect for CNC roundover on multi-level surfaces where a router table cannot easily reach. Amanda Tool has tool spec files for importing into Ventric V Carve software online, so it was easy to set-up. One minor complaint… The packaging included a soft plastic sleeve with the tool name/number, but the hard plastic case within had no identification. I used a sharpie to write the info on the hard case since that’s what I, and most CNC users use for storage, and the ID stamped on the bit is almost impossible to read. I’m happy with the bit.

Usually Point Roundovers don't cut very fast, mostly because as the router big goes down to the point there is very little cutting surface. I really didn't see this issue with this 1/8" radius bit. I was able to feed fast enough so there was no burning on the birch I was making beads on. Pretty happy overall.

Nice bit and worked well!

Amana makes wonderful router bits. High quality. Well packaged.

There is an easy way to cut spirals or "ropes" with a router using a legacy device called a router crafter. Using this router bit in it, it could cut spirals in the wood. Some sanding was required but the routing work was as easy as turning a crank handle. The device will cut spirals at multiples of 15 degrees. The maximum stock size is 3x36". Amana Tool is the only one that I have found who sells these center cutting bits. The 3/16" radius will create approximately 3/8" width spirals. Of course, the point is fragile, so don't drop it! The section of wood that will have spirals can be rounded on a conventional lathe or smoothed out first with an appropriate straight router bit using the router crafter.
