Freud Router Bit 30-094 1/16 Inch Radius Cove Decorative Edging (1/4 In Shank Shear Angle TiCo Carbide Perma-SHIELD 24000 Max RPM Woodworking)

Freud 30-094 1/16 Inch Radius Cove TiCo Carbide Router Bit

The Freud 30-094 is a 1/2-inch overall diameter cove decorative edging router bit engineered to rout a 1/16-inch concave radius for breaking sharp edges on furniture, cabinet doors, and architectural molding. Built with a 1/4-inch shank and high shear angle geometry, this tool slices wood fibers cleanly to prevent tearout and eliminate cross-grain sanding steps. Tipped with TiCo™ Hi-Density Micrograin Carbide and protected by a heat-resistant Perma-SHIELD® non-stick coating, this 2-cutter bit operates at speeds up to 24,000 RPM across hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composites in handheld or table-mounted routers.

Best Used For:

• Architectural Molding & Edge Easing: Breaking sharp 90-degree corners and milling delicate 1/16-inch cove profiles on hardwood trim and face frames.
• Cabinet Door & Drawer Front Detailing: Routing subtle concave outer edge borders on solid wood cabinet doors and drawer fronts with tearout-free cuts.
• Small Woodworking Projects & Plaques: Adding refined perimeter coves to hardwood plaques, boxes, and small furniture components.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• High Shear Angle Geometry: Slices wood fibers cleanly in a sliding motion to minimize grain tearout and reduce sanding time.
• TiCo™ Hi-Density Micrograin Carbide: Proprietary micrograin carbide formulation retains razor-sharp cutting edges significantly longer than standard carbide.
• Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating: Protective red fluoropolymer coating prevents pitch buildup, resin accumulation, and rust formation on the bit body.
• Precision Pilot Ball Bearing: Integrated 3/8-inch guide bearing ensures uniform edge tracking along straight and curved workpiece profiles without a fence.
• Computer-Balanced Anti-Kickback Design: Body profile restricts cut depth per revolution to lower kickback risks during manual stock feeding.
• Universal Router Compatibility: Engineed for stable operation in both portable hand-held routers and stationary router tables.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Route end-grain edges first before making passes along the long-grain sides of your workpiece; any slight tearout that occurs at the corner during the end-grain cut will be cleanly removed by the final long-grain routing pass.
