Questions & AnswersHi! This is Jon on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this video clip, I will show you how to make a half-round cut. For this cut I’m going to use a half round bit or a half inch round bit. You can take a look at the blade portion here, and you will notice that it is rounded. This will give me a nice curve on the end of my piece of stock. If you take a look at it, you’ll notice that I started right here and that gave me a perfect round edge. This is really good if you are using it on something that might get bumped where that edge could chip off if the edge was sharp.

Hello. Glad to see someone showing interest in woodworking. If you where showing someone how to use the router like this, make a comment that about holding the router where the chips fly out sidewise. Basically I think you are holding the router the wrong way. Chips will fly into your face. If you hold it where the chips fly out from the side. Now the reason I know this is I hold the router the same way you do. I like the visibility and control. But I teach high school students and make sure they know the right way and I use safety glasses and a face shield. Thanks...
