Whether it's called a cove bit (as the one I link to above is) or a roundnose bit by the maker is irrelevant. This is one case where it's not necessary to get hung up on the terminology — you're going to buy based on what it looks like, not based on what it's called. | |

Grind that off and the blank spot will not cut. That's not exactly a problem as long as you don't try any plunge cuts, but the profile is also different from a bullnose, which doesn't have the flat. | |
| Sep 21, 2016 at 9:54 | comment | added | Brad P. | @WhatRoughBeast, can you elaborate on the difference? I was thinking of a cove bit that has no bearing and is shaped almost like a half sphere... Is that not correct? Is it called a bullnose or roundnose once the bearing comes off? | |
| Sep 21, 2016 at 7:31 | comment | added | Graphus | @WhatRoughBeast, are you thinking a cove bit will always have a bearing? Not all do. | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 21:43 | comment | added | WhatRoughBeast | Please be aware that a cove bit is not (despite what the linked question says) a bullnose bit, and is not suitable for what you want to do. | |
