Description

Enhance Your Woodworking with Professional Decorative Bead Profiles

The Freud 36-112 5/16" Radius Beading Bit is the ideal solution for woodworkers looking to add an attractive, traditional bead profile to furniture, cabinetry, and custom millwork. This industrial-grade bit features a specialized ball bearing that creates a precise inset bead at the bottom of the radius, providing a sophisticated shadow line that "softens" square corners and adds architectural depth to any project. Whether you are crafting heirloom tables or finishing intricate trim, this bit delivers the clean, splinter-free results that professional shops demand.

Built for durability and versatility, this bit is engineered with TiCo™ High-Density Carbide and protected by Freud’s exclusive Perma-SHIELD® non-stick coating to reduce heat and resin build-up. The advanced 4-cutter design ensures a glass-smooth finish across hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and wood composites. For added utility, this beading bit can be easily converted into a rounding-over bit by swapping the bearing, giving you two distinct profiles from a single high-performance tool.

Key Features

  • Dual-Profile Versatility: Specifically designed to create a beautiful round profile with a classic inset bead.
  • Industrial Carbide Construction: Features high-density carbide tips for a sharper edge and significantly longer cutting life.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: High-performance non-stick red coating protects the bit from heat, corrosion, and pitch gumming.
  • Precision Balancing: Computer-balanced design eliminates vibration and chatter at high speeds up to 18,000 RPM.
  • Multi-Material Mastery: Effortlessly routs solid wood, plywood, and all wood composition materials.
  • Universal Compatibility: Optimized for peak performance in both hand-held and table-mounted portable routers.
