Specifications

Pro-Tip: When routing a full bull nose on thicker stock, perfect centering is critical. To ensure the profile is perfectly symmetrical, run a test piece first. If you see a "step" or ridge, adjust your bit height slightly until the transition is seamless on both the top and bottom of the stock.
