Installed in your router table, this carbide-tipped bit will let you rout grooves or coves in the ends or edges of your cutting board projects to create recessed handles. Raise the bit high to rout its full upper and lower profile into cutting boards that are at least 1'' thick. Or set the bit low so only part of the cutting profile is above the table to create recesses that open into the cutting board's bottom face and form a cove shape. The corners of the cutters have 1/4'' radii to create curved contours that are comfortable and easy to grasp. Three interchangeable pilot bearings add even more versatility. With the 5/8''-diameter bearing installed, the bit will produce 1/2''-deep recesses. The 7/8''-diameter bearing creates 3/8''-deep recesses, and the 1-1/8''-diameter bearing mills 1/4''-deep recesses. 

Rockler Handle Groove Router Bit Details:

  • Routs finger grooves in cutting board ends or edges
  • 1/4'' radiused corners create smooth contours that are easy to grasp
  • Three sizes of interchangeable pilot bearings adjust the bit's depth of cut to form 1/2''-, 3/8''- or 1/4''-deep recesses
  • Set the bit high to form a ''closed'' finger groove, or lower the bit so it opens into the cutting board's bottom face to create a cove shape instead
  • Bit design allows cutting boards to be routed face-down on a router table and against the fence, for convenience and optimal stability
  • Two-flute bit features thick, high-quality carbide cutters sharpened with fine diamond abrasives
  • 1/2'' shank reduces vibration to prevent chattering
  • Precision-balanced and optimized for efficient chip ejection
  • Non-stick coating helps slow pitch and resin buildup
  • Carries Rockler's unconditional router bit guarantee
