Freud 80-104 3/16" Radius Traditional Beading Router Bit

The Freud 80-104 3/16-inch radius traditional beading router bit reproduces historic architectural molding, classic baseboards, and decorative furniture details using hand-held or table-mounted routers. Engineered with premium carbide cutting edges protected by a non-stick Perma-SHIELD coating and guided by an integrated 1/2-inch bearing, this 1/4-inch shank tool operates safely up to 18,000 maximum RPM while forming precise half-round beads with square shoulders. Outfitted with a 2-5/16-inch overall length, it equips professional renovators and woodworkers with splinter-free edge shaping across hardwoods, softwoods, and plywood panels.

Best Used For:

  • Historic Home Renovation Molding Reproduction: Milling exact replicas of historic baseboards, door casings, and wall trim to maintain architectural authenticity.
  • Custom Wood Furniture Beading Detailing: Adding elegant, period-accurate half-round bead profiles with square shoulders to custom tabletops and cabinet doors.
  • Guided Edge Profiling Work: Shaping decorative edges smoothly along curved or straight workpiece margins using the integrated guide bearing.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Traditional Beading Geometry: Precision-milled 3/16-inch radius forms a classic half-round bead with a clean square shoulder for authentic detailing.
  • Integrated Guide Bearing: Built-in 1/2-inch pilot bearing rides smoothly against workpiece edges without requiring an external router fence.
  • Premium Carbide Cutting Edges: High-density carbide metallurgy maintains razor sharpness and resists wear across dense wood substrates.
  • Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Coating: Protective thermal coating shields the bit from heat buildup, friction wear, and resin pitch accumulation.
  • Versatile Shank Compatibility: Sturdy 1/4-inch shank fits securely into both portable hand-held routers and stationary table-mounted setups.

Pro-Tip: When routing traditional beads on hardwood trim or furniture components, take two shallow passes rather than removing the full profile depth in a single pass; this reduces motor strain, prevents burning, and guarantees a pristine finish.
