Description

Elevate Your Woodworking Projects with Professional Decorative Edging

The Freud 36-114 3/8" Radius Beading Bit is the definitive choice for woodworkers looking to add a touch of timeless elegance to their furniture and millwork. Engineered to provide a beautiful round profile with a distinctive inset bead, this bit allows you to transform standard square corners into sophisticated decorative features. Whether you are crafting custom cabinetry or softening the edges of a tabletop, this bit delivers the surgical precision Freud is known for.

Crafted with TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, this beading bit is designed to slice through solid wood, plywood, and composite materials with ease, leaving a mirror-smooth finish that requires minimal sanding. The bit features Freud’s exclusive Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which reduces blade drag and prevents pitch build-up, significantly extending the life of the tool. For maximum versatility, this bit can also be converted into a rounding over bit by simply swapping the bearing, making it a multi-functional powerhouse for your handheld or table-mounted router.

Pro-Tip: To achieve a flawless finish on end-grain cuts, rout the end-grain first before moving to the long-grain sides. This allows the long-grain pass to "clean up" any minor blowout at the corners for a professional, splinter-free result.
