Classical Table Edge Router Bit For Clean Profiles

Classical table edge router bit shapes table top edges with a defined classical profile, giving projects a consistent finished look on every pass. The Amana Tool bit is carbide tipped, so the cutting edges resist wear as they form decorative edges in repeated routing work. The edgeforming design keeps the focus on building a shaped table perimeter rather than removing bulk stock. A 2-1/2 inch diameter cutting profile engages a broad section of the edge, which helps create a smooth, flowing table edge in fewer passes along the workpiece. The bit uses a 2-flute layout, so there are two cutting edges sharing the cut, which supports a smoother cut line and balanced operation at the router. With this profile, the bit serves cabinet and woodworking shops that need repeatable table top edges.

Key Edgeforming Details That Support Daily Work

• The carbide tipped construction holds a sharp cutting edge, so the bit keeps producing a clean table edge profile over extended runs in wood projects without frequent bit changes.
• The 2-flute configuration provides two cutting edges in contact with the material, which helps distribute the cut load and produce a smoother surface along the table edge profile with each pass.
• The 2-1/2 inch diameter cutting profile engages a wide section of the workpiece edge, allowing the full classical form to be shaped in a controlled path along the table top perimeter.
• The cutter is designed for cutting table top edges or for use with handrail side profile bits, so shops can coordinate profiles between tops and rails where matching or complementary shapes are required.
• The bit is part of the edgeforming router bit category, so it focuses on creating the final decorative table edge rather than general-purpose stock removal in routing setups.

Shank, Height, And Radius For Setup Alignment

The 1/2 inch shank size fits routers designed for 1/2 inch shank tooling, which supports a solid grip in the collet for stable edgeforming passes along table tops. A cutting height of 25/32 inch defines the vertical span of the profile, so the operator can match the bit exposure to the thickness of the table edge during setup. The overall length of 2-3/4 inch sets how far the bit extends from the collet, which affects how the router or table fence is positioned when running workpieces. The radius of 13/32 inch shapes the main curve of the classical edge, while the additional radii and step dimensions (R1 13/64 inch, B1 43/64 inch, B2 7/64 inch) define the finer shoulders and fillets, giving the final edge a detailed, built-up profile.

Using This Router Bit In Table And Rail Work

Where This Edgeforming Router Bit Fits Best

This Amana Tool router bit is identified as a table edge classical profile, so it is aimed at cutting edges on table tops where a shaped perimeter is part of the design. The bit sits within the edgeforming product class, placing it in the group of tools dedicated to shaping decorative profiles rather than straight trimming, which directs its role to final edge passes on finished stock. The web description specifies it is used for cutting table top edges or used with handrail side profile bits, so it serves both standalone table projects and coordinated railing work. In practice, that means one profile can carry through from tables to handrails when used with appropriate side profiles, helping a shop maintain a unified style across multiple components in a room.

Profile Dimensions That Support Repeatable Results

The 2-1/2 inch diameter (D) determines how deeply the profile reaches across the table edge, which gives a consistent reveal when the fence and bit height are set to the same reference points from job to job. The cutting height (B) of 25/32 inch limits the vertical area the bit shapes, so once the bit height is dialed in, the same setup reproduces the classical form across multiple tops. Dimensions B1 at 43/64 inch and B2 at 7/64 inch locate smaller steps in the pattern, which helps an operator align the profile relative to the top or bottom face when laying out the cut. The radius R at 13/32 inch and the secondary radius R1 at 13/64 inch define the curves within the edge, providing clear geometric references for matching drawings or existing pieces. The manufacturer part number 49556 ties these dimensions to a specific profile, which matters when a shop repeats an established design or needs to order the same geometry again.

Common Questions About The 49556 Router Bit
