Why waste time searching for a particular style of frame molding when you can make your own? CMT Molding bits allow you to create a wide range of designs, especially when they are used for a sequence of two or more passes. For even more options, use the Classical and Traditional bits on the following pages in conjunction with the Molding Bit. These CMT bits are made to last a lifetime, with carbide tipped cutters and solid bar stock steel shanks that withstand serious use. Plus, CMT's baked-on non-stick PTFE Coating helps keep bits clean for smooth cuts. Our anti-kickback feature helps guarantee you work more safely when using these large profile bits. SAFETY TIPS: All large diameter bits should be used with caution and on router tables equipped with a fence. For best results, 2-1/4" HP routers are recommended. Routers as low-powered as 1-1/2 HP can be used if limited to shorter, shallower runs. When possible, reduce the RPM of the router for operations requiring the use of these bits. | |||||||

Designed by master woodworker Lonnie Bird, these Molding Bits feature inverted profiles that are ideal for use with a router table. Instead of running stock with the edge to be routed down on the table, the flat surface of the stock can remain on the table. These bits are also key ingredients in our Crown Molding Set. Also called the Inverted Roman Ogee Profile. | |||||||
