Cove Router Bits

Cove router bits make simple shapes that lend an elegant detail to almost any edge! Use cove router bits to make furniture, drawer fronts and cabinet doors to make them go from ordinary to elegant.


Cove Router Bit

Cove router bits are one of the most common profile router bits used today. Available in a wide variety of sizes (or more accurately — radii), they are used to make furniture, drawer fronts, cabinet doors and even joinery!

A set offers a variety of radii.

Cove bits can be purchased separately, or buy them buy the set to make sure you're ready for any eventuality.

These bits can be used hand-held, or in a router table. Commonly available with a bearing to guide the profile cut, they can also be used with the fence adjusted to make the cove cut less deep. 

The cove is an important part of a rule joint.

When matched with a roundover bit, you can create the classic drop leaf, or rule joint. This joint is found on drop-leaf side tables and card tables popular in the 18th Century. 

The shearing angle lets the bit slice, rather than chop.

Infinity cove bits use a shearing angle to provide a cleaner cut with less effort. This angle also reduces tearout and provides a great surface as a profile, or as part of a matched joinery set.

A few cove bits are always welcome in the shop.
