Docupton Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I now have a Dremel router table because i thought some of my work would look better with rounded edges, but the roundover bit is quite small and although i have searched i cannot find a bit with a larger roundover cut, can anyone tell me if such a larger bit exists and where i might get one, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill WIlson Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I would be surprised if you were able to find any router bits for the Dremel, that have a larger profile. Generally speaking, the Dremel is underpowered for routing operations, so I suspect the bits are small, by design. Also the cullet limits you to the size shaft that can be used, which will also limit the size of the bit. A large profile on a small shank would be asking for trouble. For the type of work you describe, a palm router or laminate trimmer would be a better size. They accept standard 1/4" shank bits, which make available to you a much wider selection of profiles.

Rolf Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) As stated above the Dremel is under powered for any routing above the bits that they sell. The only time I have used the Dremel as a router is for routing the inside edges of wooden clock gears. For anything larger I have a Bosch Colt trim router (love it) and for really heavy duty a Freud router mounted under my table 1/2 in shank bits.

Ron Johnson Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think â…›" is the largest available Doc, although I could be wrong. For a larger round over profile I would go to a regular router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsN Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have a trim router. It is a nice compromise between using the underpowered dremel and a full size router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhudson Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I checked the 5 places I get router bits and none had any round over bits with a shank less than 1/4". And as already noted the Dremel, certainly a tool I've had in my shop since the late 1960's, but the motors just don't have the torque for routing.

Rockytime Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I have a Horrible Fright trim router. It's cheap but worked OK for the few times I needed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Does not exist. Anything larger than the 1/8" roundover bit for a dremel will snap. It can not handle the sideward pressure. Go to a small palm router such as the colt. great router. Plus you may want to use other profiles for a base or a box and things. Much more bits to choose from and a whole lot safer. Lets be smart out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
