Shaping & edge mouldings, 3 marks

A router cutter for moulding an edge often has a small bearing on its tip. What is it for?

  1. It stops the cutter from getting too hot
  2. It catches the dust made by the cutter
  3. It runs along the edge to guide the cut
Show the answer

It runs along the edge to guide the cut

The bearing rolls along the edge of the work, so the cutter makes a moulding of even width and depth all the way round, even on curved edges.
