Hi,

Can someone tell me what router bit is used to round the exterior edges of closet shelves made from particle board? I don't think it is a normal round over.

Thanks for your input.

Personally I would use a slot cutter and use a solid wood edge band on the particle board. Then you can round this over with whatever profile you like.

A couple of other ways are in the picture linked below:

Thats what I was looking for thanks. If I was not trying to match existing I would be using plywood and doing exactly as you described. Thanks.
