Use a roundover bit to remove sharp edges or renew a beat-up edge
The piloted roundover bit is a quick and reliable tool for easing sharp edges on just about any piece of furniture or trim. In most cases, the best time to roundover the edge is after the furniture is assembled, as with the picnic table that’s receiving the roundover treatment in the photo to the right.
A roundover bit doesn’t have to be used on new furniture projects only. It’s also a great device for giving a shot of new life to an older piece of furniture that has damaged, dented or even rotted edges. A bit with a 3/8- or 1/4-in. cutting radius is a good general purpose choice.
