Wood Router Bit Condor CON-RB-905 — rounding profile Ø28.6 x 12.5 mm, 8 mm shank

Condor CON-RB-905 is a wood router bit designed for creating rounded profiles and smoothing edges on wood components. With a cutting diameter of 28.6 mm and a cutting height of 12.5 mm, this bit produces a substantial rounded profile suitable for decorative edge work and functional edge softening. The 8 mm shank fits routers and trimmers that accept 8 mm collets, providing stable mounting for guided or freehand work on solid wood, plywood and similar wood-based materials.

Advantages

The Condor rounding profile bit delivers a consistent profile with clean cutting performance and reduced tear-out when used with appropriate feed rates and sharp cutters. Its 8 mm shank ensures secure clamping in compatible routers and trimmers, while the 12.5 mm cutting height enables deeper shaping in a single pass compared with smaller profile bits. The bit’s dimensions make it suitable for both decorative and practical edge work, producing uniform radiused edges across long runs.

Suitable for

• Rounding and profiling edges on solid wood workpieces
• Creating decorative edge profiles on furniture components
• Smoothing and softening sharp edges on plywood and veneered panels
• General carpentry and joinery where a consistent radius is required

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 28.6 mm
• Cutting height (profile depth): 12.5 mm
• Shank diameter: 8 mm
• Profile type: rounding/profile bit
• Compatible materials: solid wood, plywood, wood-based panels

How to use

Mount the router bit securely in a router or trimmer with an 8 mm collet, ensuring the cutter is tightened and centered. Adjust router speed and feed rate appropriate to the material being worked—higher speeds and moderate feed for hard woods, lower speeds and steady feed for softwoods and veneered panels. Make progressive passes when a large amount of material must be removed: set a shallow depth of cut and increase incrementally until the full 12.5 mm profile height is reached. Use a guide or fence for straight runs to maintain a consistent profile and support the workpiece to avoid vibration.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use sharp cutters and appropriate router speeds for the material. Test on scrap material to determine optimal depth per pass and feed rate. When working with veneered or laminated panels, take shallow passes to minimise chipping and consider backing tape or a zero-clearance support to protect the surface.
