I'm building a couple of cabinets to go along with my old kitchen cabinets and I'd like to make the doors match but I can't figure out what router bit to use. I just need to make a small radius on the corner. Can you tell me what bit to use?

Thanks,
Bryan

Thank you Stick, I have placed an order at Rockler for a Freud 1/4"R 1/2 shank bit.

I will say that I had been looking a Google images as well as MLCS for router bit profiles but I wanted someone to tell me for sure what profile to use.

You can always look at the Lee Valley online catalogue if you want a clear idea of what the profile looks like, Bryan...
Lee Valley Tools - Online Catalog
Open the cover and look for 'router bits' in the index on the left pg. ---pgs 296 to 307

Always check your bit drawer. You might find a roman ogee bit that you can use just that portion of the cutter for.

That's a good idea.

Thanks Al, I saved and printed that one out. That is very helpful and more good advise from Stick.


Thanks to all of you.

A few years ago I attended a local woodworking show and at the Freud booth there were a bunch of catalogues for router bits. I still use it and refer to it regularly. Until this catalogue, I never imagined there were so many different router bits !
