Add Timeless Elegance and Flawless Concave Profiles to Your Woodworking Masterpieces

Elevate the aesthetic of your furniture and millwork with the Freud 30-109 3/16" Radius Cove Router Bit. Designed for the professional woodworker, this bit creates a classic, smooth concave shape that is essential for traditional edge applications. Whether you are crafting intricate cabinet doors or adding a soft detail to a tabletop, the 30-109 delivers a clean, architectural finish. Its specialized design features a precision shear angle that slices through fibers rather than chopping them—mimicking the fine action of a hand plane—to virtually eliminate splintering and tear-out, even in delicate or figured grains.

Durability meets performance with Freud’s exclusive TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide tips, which are engineered to stay sharper for longer than standard carbide. To ensure a cooler operation and a longer tool life, the bit is finished with a vibrant red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which protects against heat, friction, and resin buildup. This bit is computer-balanced for vibration-free operation at high speeds and is equally at home in hand-held or table-mounted routers. It effortlessly handles a wide range of materials, including hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and abrasive composites.

Key Features

  • Precision Shear Angle: Slices wood like a hand plane to provide clean cuts and reduce the chance of tearing or splintering.
  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Specialized micrograin carbide blend for maximum cutting life and an industrial-grade finish.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating reduces heat buildup, corrosion, and pitch accumulation.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Engineered for peak performance on both hand-held and table-mounted portable routers.
  • Multi-Material Mastery: Expertly cuts through composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods.
  • Decorative Excellence: Ideal for creating classic concave edges on high-end furniture and architectural millwork.

Pro-Tip: To achieve a burn-free, glass-smooth finish on hardwoods, always keep the bit moving at a steady pace. If you notice resin buildup on the ball bearing, clean it immediately with a bit solvent; a stuck bearing can mar your workpiece. For deep cove cuts, consider taking two shallow passes rather than one heavy cut to reduce strain on the bit and ensure maximum precision.
