R42 Four-Tooth Pointed Tenon Cutter, XR Series, 1/2 Inch Shank Applications
Use this round bar cutter when the project needs a controlled cut rather than a rough material-removal pass. It can support cabinet doors, drawer fronts, panels, trim pieces, furniture components, jigs or decorative woodworking details depending on the profile and setup.
How to Choose the Right Setup
- Confirm finished diameter, radius, tooth count, shank size, stock size, machine setup and the joint or profile being produced.
- Match the shank exactly to the router collet or spindle holder.
- Check the work material, including hardwood, softwood, MDF, plywood or laminated panels.
- Use a test cut to confirm profile depth, diameter and surface finish before routing finished stock.
Use and Maintenance Tips
Use steady feed pressure and support the workpiece carefully through the rounded cut. Take lighter passes on large diameters to reduce chatter and improve the final surface.
