Freud 36-110 1/4-Inch Radius Decorative Beading Router Bit

The Freud 36-110 1/4-Inch Radius Decorative Beading Router Bit is a precision edge-shaping woodworking tool engineered to mill rounded 1/4-inch radius profiles featuring a distinct decorative inset bead along cabinet edges, table tops, and architectural millwork. Operating at rotational speeds up to 18,000 RPM with a 1/4-inch shank, 1-1/8-inch overall diameter, and 1/2-inch carbide cutting height, this 4-cutter bit features Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating and a pilot guide bearing. Designed for handheld and table-mounted routers, this dual-function profile bit solves sharp edge hazards, thermal pitch buildup, and rough grain tear-out challenges across hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite wood projects.

Best Used For:

  • Custom Cabinetry & Millwork Inset Beading: Milling decorative 1/4-inch radius rounded edges with an inset shoulder on stile and rail cabinet doors.
  • Furniture & Tabletop Edge Softening: Shaping smooth, comfortable beaded profiles on solid hardwood dining tables, chair arms, and shelving units.
  • Dual-Function Convertible Rounding Over: Swapping pilot bearings to convert the cutter from a decorative beading bit into a standard round-over profile.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Decorative Inset Bead Profile: Specialized pilot bearing alignment routs a classic rounded profile with a pronounced lower inset bead shoulder.
  • 4-Cutter Carbide Geometry: Quad-flute cutting layout delivers smoother material removal and superior surface finish quality compared to standard 2-flute bits.
  • Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Coating: Protective red thermal coating shields the bit body from heat buildup, resin adhesion, and pitch accumulation.
  • Convertible Bearing Functionality: Pilot bearing can be replaced with standard accessory bearings to convert the bit into a flush round-over cutter.
  • High-Speed 18,000 RPM Rating: Dynamically balanced cutter body ensures stable, chatter-free operation in compact handheld and table routers.

  • (1) Freud 36-110 1/4 in. Radius Decorative Beading Router Bit (1/4 in. Shank)
