What bit shapes a stair tread nosing?
| Nose profile | Bit | Shank and rpm |
|---|---|---|
| Soft eased nose | 1/4 in radius round-over | 1/4 in, 20,000-24,000 rpm |
| Standard domestic nose | 1/2 in radius round-over | 1/4 or 1/2 in, 16,000-20,000 rpm |
| Full bullnose | Bullnose bit, 25-32 mm | 1/2 in, 12,000-16,000 rpm |
| Nose with a return | Round-over plus a straight rebate | Two setups, test on offcuts |
The rule for big bits: above 25 mm diameter, use a 1/2 in shank and drop the rpm. A 32 mm bit at 24,000 rpm in a trim router is how motors and fingers get hurt.
Sequence: rout the nosing before the tread is fixed, on a bench, with the board clamped. Cutting it in place on the stairs means working upside down with the router above your face.
