Bullnose 3/8"

This 3/8" bullnose measures .375" in thickness; widths are adjustable to any desired size within the parameters of the machinery used to manufacture the detail. This profile is milled on the right spindle so the machine's guide fence after the left cutter head will not indent and damage the nosing from the sharp edge of the metal fence. The pattern comprises a 3/16" radius half circle with plenty of blend area on each side edge of the pattern.

Bullnose profiles are generally milled from the right or left vertical cutter heads. The knife designs are not for milling half-round profiles because the extra blend area would cause the knife extension to strike the bedplates if milled from the top horizontal cutter head. If you're looking to mill a 3/8" half-round , please search in that category; we have a few other options to consider for milling multiple profiles simultaneously. The opposite holds for half-round details; they get milled from the top cutterheads, and the knives will come within .020" of the machine bedplates. They do not have a blend area built into the cutter design, so if you try to mill a bullnose with these blades, you will get parallel knife-edge cuts if the lumber moves during machining, rendering the product unsaleable.
