🔍 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 bowl’s interior – you want a flat bottom but the corners where bottom meets side to be nicely rounded instead of sharp 90°. A bowl bit typically has a round-over profile on the bottom edges but with a flat center. SpeTool’s point cutting roundover bits:contentReference[oaicite:84]{index=84} are an example – 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 that’s easy to sand and friendly to touch. Essentially, it’s 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, you’d have to manually carve or sand the sharp corner into a curve – the bowl bit does it for you in one go.
