Specifications

Pro-Tip: The beauty of the "Classical" Cove profile lies in the small fillets (steps) at the top and bottom of the curve. To ensure these details are crisp and uniform, perform a test cut on scrap material to dial in the depth. If the bearing leaves an indentation on the wood, your pressure against the workpiece is too high; let the sharpness of the bit do the work.
