Core box bits have rounded tips that are perfect for routing channels in cutting boards and producing flutes in columns using solid wood or MDF. Our core box bits are available in various diameters, with a choice of 1/4" and 1/2" shanks. The smaller shank diameter works well in laminate trimmers, while the 1/2" shanks are ideal for deep cuts with full-size routers.

This core box bit features a rounded tip with a 9/16" radius and a 1-1/8" cutting diameter. The cutting depth is 13/16" and the shank is 1/2".

I was constructing a home-made Connect 4 and needed the 1/2 round nose bit in particular for the play pieces. The bit installed well and routed through multiple poplar boards with ease. Very satisfied with the purchase.

I have been using a biscuit joiner in my hobby work but perfect alignment on butt joints is a challenge. Joining two 45 degree boards to make a 90 is even more of a challenge. I have been getting by but not without a great deal of sanding to match surfaces.

With these bits, some finish sanding was still required but nothing like was needed with the biscuit joiner. The boards on the chest lid, in the attached photo, we're joined with tongue-in-groove. The corner joints were cut with the 45 router bit.
