Its carefully engineered geometry forms a 6mm radius that transitions smoothly into a 45° chamfer without leaving an unwanted step between the two profiles. A conical ball-bearing guide follows the workpiece edge and maintains a consistent cutting position, making the cutter ideal for accurately profiling solid wood and suitable wood-based panel materials. Durable carbide cutting edges provide dependable performance and a long service life, while the precision-ground profile delivers clean, repeatable results for furniture, cabinetry and decorative joinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA smooth radius-to-chamfer transition in one profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a conventional roundover or chamfer cutter, this combination cutter creates a 6mm curve that flows directly into a 45° bevel.
