Precision Freud 1-1/4 Inch Cove and Fillet Router Bit 30-202 with 1/4 Inch Shank
The Freud 30-202 1-1/4-Inch Diameter Cove and Fillet Router Bit functions as an industrial-grade edge-profiling tool engineered to execute a smooth 5/16-inch radius concave cove paired with a top flat fillet step on solid hardwoods, softwoods, cabinet plywood, and wood composites. Manufactured with micrograin TiCo High-Density Carbide cutters coated in friction-reducing Red Perma-SHIELD non-stick finish, this 1/4-inch shank bit features a 1/2-inch pilot ball bearing, a 19/32-inch carbide cutting height, and an 18,000 RPM maximum speed rating. Compatible with handheld portable routers and router table setups, this dual-flute shearing bit allows contractors to adjust depth height settings to alternate between a dual-action cove-and-fillet or a classic clean cove profile without grain tear-out across tabletop perimeters, cabinet door edges, and architectural moldings.
Best Used For:
- Architectural Cabinet & Furniture Edging: Milling traditional cove-and-fillet border profiles along dining tables, desk perimeters, display plaques, and cabinet door frames.
- Variable-Height Custom Mold Profiling: Elevating bit height above the workpiece edge to bypass the fillet cutter, producing a standard concave cove profile.
- Guided Substrate Edge Duplication: Tracing straight or curved workpiece perimeters using the integrated 1/2-inch pilot ball bearing to maintain a uniform profile depth.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Dual-Profile Height Adaptability: Routs a complete cove-and-fillet border at full depth, or a standard cove profile when raised slightly in the router collet.
- TiCo High-Density Micrograin Carbide: Proprietary titanium-cobalt carbide formulation maintains razor-sharp edges up to four times longer than standard carbide.
- Red Perma-SHIELD Thermal Barrier Coating: Non-stick fluoropolymer coating insulates the bit body against heat buildup, pitch accumulation, and rust corrosion.
- Integrated 1/2-Inch Pilot Ball Bearing: Precision steel guide bearing tracks substrate faces accurately to prevent workpiece scoring or friction burning.
- Precision Shear-Angle Flute Geometry: Cutters are positioned at an angle to slice wood fibers smoothly, eliminating end-grain tear-out and surface fuzzing.
- Universal 1/4-Inch Shank Profile: Fits standard 1/4-inch router collets across compact palm trimmers, handheld routers, and table setups.

Pro-Tip: When routing 1-1/4 inch wide cove-and-fillet profiles into dense hardwoods, adjust your variable-speed router to a maximum speed of 18,000 RPM to prevent friction burning. Take two light, progressive depth passes rather than a single heavy cut, reserving the final pass for removing only 1/32 inch of stock to achieve a sharp fillet shoulder and chatter-free cove center.
