: Thanks, Rob -
: Read the original post LATE last night and thought, "Cool!" and
: ordered the 3/16" radius bit online at about 1:45 am. I just called
: and cancelled. I'll continue using my 1/4" diameter cove/bead bits.
: You saved me $35. Thanks for pointing out that was the "radius"
: not "diameter".
You're welcome.
Believe me, when I started using 3/16" thick strips back in "89", I searched
high and low for 3/16" diameter C&B bits. There are no "wing" cutters made
in this size. There is a 3/16" bull nose bit, but this is useless because it's just
a round end straight router bit that will chew up strips edges.
I made my own 3/16" C&B bits but they didn't work as well as the commercial
1/4" ones.
I've found the 1/4" bits work just fine, and the cove edges are not as fragile
on 3/16" thick strips as they are on 1/4" strips.
