Whether you are using a hand-held portable router on the job site or a table-mounted router in the workshop, this traditional beading bit delivers professional-grade, splinter-free results.

Pro-Tip

When routing thin or delicate strips of wood to create custom historic trim, using a router table is highly recommended. To ensure a perfectly consistent beading profile along the entire length of the board, utilize featherboards. Place one featherboard applying pressure down against the table, and another applying pressure horizontally against the fence. This prevents the workpiece from wandering away from the 1/2-inch guide bearing, yielding a flawless, uniform square shoulder.
