I’m pretty sure that what I know isn’t a tenth of what can be done with a router, so I’m asking the voice of experience: how does one cut an interior roundover? Like the inside curve on this button (but larger). I have a Big Box of Bargain Basement Bits with several sizes of roundover, but they all have bearings that would be in the way, and I haven’t seen any for sale without the bearing. I tried taking the bearing off of one of my bits, but there’s still enough of a post to cause an issue. I keep thinking I just don’t have the right bit, but am I missing some “use the left third of a keyhole bit” kind of trick that makes this possible? My next best option is to do the roundovers on a donut, rout a rabbet on the back side and drop a disc in—but it just seems like it ought to be easy to carve from a solid piece.
