The purpose of a bevel trim bit with a bearing is to provide precise and clean trims while offering the added functionality of beveling edges. This type of router bit is designed to handle both flush trimming and adding decorative bevels to woodworking projects. The bearing on the bit helps to guide it along the edge of the material being trimmed, ensuring a smooth and consistent cut.
COMMON USES
Beveling edges: Creating decorative bevels on table tops, shelves, or other woodworking projects to add a visually appealing edge profile.
Trimming laminates: Trimming the edges of laminated surfaces, such as countertops or furniture tops, to create a seamless joint.
Furniture making: Adding decorative bevels and profiles to furniture pieces, such as table legs, chair rails, or bed frames.
ADVANTAGES
Precise control: The bearing guides the bit along the edge of the material, ensuring a smooth and consistent cut.
Reduced filing: The bevel trim bit can help reduce the amount of filing required to achieve a smooth edge, saving time and effort.
Improved safety: By creating a beveled edge, the bit can help reduce the risk of sharp edges and improve overall safety.
Less chance of burning: The bearing helps to prevent the bit from digging too deep into the material, reducing the risk of burning or damaging the edge.
