Achieve Timeless Decorative Edges with Freud’s Precision Shear-Angle Cove Technology

The Freud 30-100 Cove Router Bit is a foundational tool for woodworkers seeking to add classic, concave profiles to furniture, millwork, and custom cabinetry. Engineered to produce exceptionally clean and smooth decorative edges, this 3/16-inch radius bit is ideal for a variety of edge applications, ranging from delicate trim work to substantial furniture pieces. Its versatility allows it to slice through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and various composite materials with ease, ensuring a professional finish regardless of the project scope.

What distinguishes the Freud 30-100 is its specialized shear-angle design. This innovative geometry allows the carbide cutters to slice through wood fibers much like a hand plane, significantly reducing the risk of tearing or splintering—even in materials with challenging figured grain. This "core box" style bit is designed for maximum stability in both hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, providing the precision and durability required for industrial woodworking environments.

Key Features

  • Precision Shear Angle: Slices through wood fibers to produce ultra-clean cuts without tear-out.
  • Classic Decorative Profile: Creates popular concave shapes perfect for furniture edges and architectural millwork.
  • Multi-Material Excellence: Effortlessly cuts through all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods.
  • Dual-Cutter Design: Features two high-density carbide cutters for a balanced, vibration-free finish.
  • Versatile Operation: Optimized for peak performance in both hand-held and table-mounted portable routers.
  • Premium Pilot Bearing: Includes a 3/8" top-mounted bearing for smooth guidance along the workpiece edge.

Pro-Tip: To achieve a "sanded-smooth" finish on coved edges, especially in hardwoods like cherry or maple, take two passes. Set your router for a shallow initial cut to remove most of the material, then follow up with a very light final pass. This technique reduces heat at the carbide edge and prevents the burn marks common with deep profiles.
