This precision router cutter combines a smoothly formed radius with a 30° chamfer, allowing the two profiles to flow naturally into one another for an attractive and balanced transition. It is an excellent choice for profiling the edges of solid timber, suitable wood-based panels and furniture components where a simple straight bevel does not provide enough visual detail. The durable carbide cutting edges deliver clean, consistent results, while the 12mm shank provides the stability required for controlling this substantial 44mm-diameter cutter. Bearing-guided operation follows the edge of the workpiece, making it easier to produce a uniform profile along straight or gently curved components.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA beautifully blended radius and chamfer profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a basic chamfer cutter that produces only a straight bevel, this Festool profile cutter creates a radius that transitions directly into the 30° chamfer. The result is a softer and more refined panel edge with a smooth visual transition. The profile is especially effective on furniture panels, table components, shelving, cabinetry and other workpieces where the edge forms an important part of the finished
