Another newbie question for them in the know...
I am looking at buying a 1/8" Radius Perform Ovolo cutter (P302011 Perform Ovolo Cutter - D=3/4" - X=3/8" - R=1/8" - S=1/4" at http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=22899&recno=4). Can the bearing on these be changed to make the cutter work as a rounding over cutter rather than an ovolo? If so, how do I work out which bearing to buy? If the cut radius is 1/8" and the bit diameter is 3/4" does this mean that I need a 1/2" diameter bearing (i.e. 3/4 - (2 x 1/8"))?
When cutting a rounding over edge using my router table, am I better to use a fence or just to freehand it with a lead pin? If a fence is better do I need the bearing at all?
Thanks
Alan
