Enhance Wood Surfaces with Elegant Classical Detailing

Transform flat wood surfaces into architectural masterpieces with the Freud 39-306 7/8" Diameter Classical Beading Groove Router Bit. Designed to cut a sophisticated profile featuring a raised bead flanked by a clean flat bottom, this bit adds immediate character and depth to cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and custom molding. Whether you are replicating period furniture details or creating unique millwork designs, this tool provides the versatility to mill beautiful decorative grooves that stand out.

Engineered for the most demanding woodworking applications, the 39-306 is manufactured with Freud’s exclusive TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide. This specialized micrograin formula ensures the cutting edge remains razor-sharp longer, even when routing through abrasive materials like plywood and composites, as well as solid hardwoods and softwoods. The bit is encased in the signature Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which dramatically reduces friction and prevents the adhesion of pitch and resin. Precision-balanced for stability, this bit delivers chatter-free results in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.

Pro-Tip: To achieve perfectly straight decorative grooves on flat panels, use a router table with a fence or equip your hand-held router with a reliable edge guide. Attempting to freehand this profile can lead to wandering lines that ruin the symmetry of the classical bead design.
