Create Elegant Molding and Decorative Grooves with the Freud Cove and Bead Bit

Unlock new design possibilities for your furniture and cabinetry with the Freud 39-100 3/4" Cove and Bead Groove Router Bit. This versatile tool allows you to route beautiful, classical profiles into the face of your workpiece or create intricate decorative edges when used with a fence or edge guide. Whether you are crafting custom molding, adding detail to drawer fronts, or designing unique millwork, this bit delivers a smooth, distinctive "Radius Cove & Bead" profile that adds depth and sophistication to any project.

Designed for professional durability, the 39-100 features Freud’s high-performance TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, ensuring a razor-sharp edge that withstands the rigors of cutting hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite materials. The bit is shielded by Freud’s exclusive Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which reduces friction, prevents heat buildup, and resists the accumulation of pitch and rust. With a standard 1/4" shank, this bit is perfectly balanced for use in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.

Pro-Tip: Because this is a groove-forming bit without a bearing guide, using a router table with a fence or a hand-held router with an edge guide is essential for straight lines. To prevent burning on lighter woods like maple, make the cut in two passes: a roughing pass to remove the bulk of the material, followed by a light finishing pass to achieve a polished surface.
