    Default What size roundover bit for kitchen cabinets

    Hi. Are there any currently active kitchen builders here. If so, can you tell me what size roundover bit is currently fashionable for putting a pencil edge on kitchen doors and drawer fronts.

    The drawer fronts and doors are the usual satin melamine faced mdf which will eventually be 2pack poly coated.

    I’m a bit self conscious about the kitchen looking dated - which it may if I keep using the same roundover bit I tote out for every project I’ve done since the early nineties.

    Cheers

    We always did 2mm

    EDIT: Also, make sure you give the back edges a couple of strokes with 180 sandpaper around a timber/cork block. It saves you slicing your hands open because those edges can be super sharp, but, more importantly, sharp edges are where paint starts to chip or not even bond properly to start with
