Towards the late 17th century, Great Britain was a growing world power and trading nation. This led to an economic boom and there were more people in Britain that could afford opulent homes and furniture. The notable makers of the time, such as Garret Johnson and Grinling Gibbons, sacrificed strength for style, incorporating curved classical rounded shapes into the moldings of furniture. These profiles evolved from the classical Greek and Roman shapes as used by famous architects and designers Christopher Wren (designer of St. Paul's Cathedral in London) and William Kent to name a few.

Riley ★★★★★

I’ve been using this bit to replicate 17th-century moldings on a mahogany table, and the surbase profile came out incredibly clean. The half-inch shank held rock solid during some deep passes, no wobble at all.

Victoria ★★★★★

That surbase profile cut clean through a full run of red oak with zero tear-out, and the 1/2" shank kept things steady even at speed. The historical detail in the design really shows in the finished molding.

Thomas E. ★★★★★

Finally a router bit that cuts a true period-correct profile without chattering. The sharp carbide edge made a clean pass through hard maple on the first try.
