Master Elegant Detail with Freud’s Industrial-Grade 1/8" Radius Cove Router Bit

The Freud 30-098 1/8" Radius Cove Router Bit is the professional’s choice for adding subtle, classic concave profiles to furniture, cabinetry, and architectural millwork. Engineered to produce exceptionally clean and smooth edges, this bit is perfect for intricate decorative work where precision is paramount. Whether you are finishing a custom picture frame or adding detail to a drawer front, the 30-098 delivers a glass-smooth finish across hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and various composite materials.

What distinguishes Freud cove bits is the specialized shear angle design. This innovative geometry allows the high-density carbide cutters to slice through wood fibers in a manner similar to a hand plane, significantly reducing the risk of tearing or splintering—even in figured grains. Designed for maximum stability and longevity, this bit is optimized for peak performance in both hand-held and table-mounted portable routers. With its non-stick Perma-SHIELD® coating and precision-balanced body, you can expect reduced friction and vibration-free operation at speeds up to 24,000 RPM.

Key Features

  • Precision Shear Angle: Slices through wood fibers to eliminate tear-out and provide a superior finish quality.
  • TiCo™ High-Density Carbide: Specially formulated for long-lasting sharpness and industrial durability.
  • Classic Decorative Shape: Creates a popular 1/8" radius concave profile ideal for fine furniture and millwork.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating protects the bit from heat, friction, and resin buildup.
  • Universal Versatility: Effortlessly cuts through all hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composition materials.

Pro-Tip: To achieve the smoothest possible finish on delicate moldings, always ensure your router's feed rate is consistent. For hardwoods like Oak or Maple, take a "light" second pass—removing only a fraction of an inch—to eliminate any potential burn marks and produce a surface that is ready for finish with minimal sanding.
