Cutting height (CH) refers to the vertical length of the cutting edge and determines how deep into the material the bit will cut. A taller cutting height is beneficial for thicker materials or when a deeper profile is desired, while a shorter height is ideal for delicate or shallow applications. Selecting the right cutting height ensures both safety and the look you want to achieve when using a round over router bit. For example, the Amana Tool 49496 offers a 3/8" CH, the Amana Tool 49531 provides a 5/8" CH, and the Amana Tool 49520 has a 1" CH, giving users flexibility for different material thicknesses. There are a variety of cutting heights available for various routing needs.
