π A bowl & tray bit (sometimes called a dish carving bit or point cutting roundover) is used to create flat-bottomed areas with a curved transition into the sides. Imagine routing out a serving tray or a wooden bowlβs interior β you want a flat bottom but the corners where bottom meets side to be nicely rounded instead of sharp 90Β°. A bowl bit typically has a round-over profile on the bottom edges but with a flat center. SpeToolβs point cutting roundover bits:contentReference[oaicite:84]{index=84} are an example β they have a small radius on the bottom corners. Use them in a CNC or router sled to hollow out trays, bowls, dishes, or even juice grooves in cutting boards where you want a rounded corner. They leave a smooth contour thatβs easy to sand and friendly to touch. Essentially, itβs a specialty bit for internal contours that gives a professional, smoothly filleted look to inside corners. If you tried the same thing with a straight bit, youβd have to manually carve or sand the sharp corner into a curve β the bowl bit does it for you in one go.
