Freud 38-524 1-1/2 Inch Classical Bold Cove and Bead Router Bit 1/4 Inch Shank Quadra-Cut TiCo Carbide Decorative Edging Tool for Wood Millwork

Transform Your Woodwork with the Distinctive Detail of Freud’s Classical Bold Cove & Bead Bit

The Freud 38-524 1-1/2" Classical Bold Cove and Bead Router Bit is a professional-grade solution for woodworkers looking to add a sophisticated, traditional profile to furniture perimeters, cabinet doors, and architectural millwork. This bit combines a smooth concave cove with a crisp bead detail, creating a "Bold" profile that catches the light and adds immediate depth to any project. Whether you are crafting heirloom furniture or decorative plaques, this bit provides the consistency and durability required for high-production shop environments.

Engineered with Freud's patented Quadra-Cut technology, this bit features four cutting edges rather than the standard two. This design uses two large cutters to do the heavy lifting while two smaller, upward-shearing cutters provide a secondary finish that is glass-smooth. Protected by a non-stick Perma-SHIELD® Coating, the 38-524 resists heat and pitch buildup, ensuring a longer tool life and reducing the risk of wood burning during use in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, or composites.
