The cutting radius (R) of a cove router bit determines the curvature of the profile it produces, making it an essential consideration based on your customers needs. A smaller radius is ideal for creating subtle, delicate details, while a larger radius is perfect for more pronounced coves used in furniture and architectural moldings to name a few uses.. The best radius depends on the desired look and effect the workpiece will have . There’s a wide range of options available but quality should be you first consideration. In my shop I use the compact 3/16" R of the Amana Tool 49100 for fine detailing, and the impressive 2-3/4" R of the Amana Tool 49126 for bold architectural features. This variety ensures I can find a bit that fits my customers needs and style they require on their job.
