Freud 98-309 3-Piece Cove and Bead French Door Router Bit Set

The Freud 98-309 3-Piece Cove and Bead French Door Router Bit Set is an architectural joinery milling system engineered to fabricate custom 1-3/4-inch exterior and 1-3/8-inch interior Full Lite and True Divided Lite French doors. Operating on a 1/2-inch shank in table-mounted routers, this 3-piece kit includes matched rail, stile, and specialized mortising bits equipped with TiCo hi-density carbide cutters and a Perma-SHIELD non-stick thermal coating. Designed for solid hardwoods and softwoods, this patented door manufacturing system permits milling tenons of unlimited length, solving structural joint sagging, wood scorching, and rail-and-stile alignment failure across custom millwork operations.

Best Used For:

  • True Divided Lite French Door Joinery: Milling precision cove and bead stiles, rails, and narrow mullion grids for multi-pane glass interior or exterior doors.
  • Unlimited Length Tenon Fabrication: Routing structural long-tenon joints on door rails to deliver maximum glue surface area for heavy solid wood entry doors.
  • 1-3/4 in. Exterior & 1-3/8 in. Interior Entry Construction: Shaping custom entrance doors and interior passage doors in oak, mahogany, cherry, or pine stock.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Patented Long-Tenon System Architecture: Enables woodworkers to rout tenons of any required length for maximum structural frame shear strength.
  • TiCo Hi-Density Micro-Grain Carbide Cutters: Formulated titanium-cobalt carbide edges maintain razor sharpness across abrasive hardwoods and synthetic glues.
  • Included Specialized Mortising Router Bit: Works in tandem with profile cutters to rout precise mortise slots for true divided light glass mullions and muntins.
  • Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Red Coating: Protective thermal coating reduces cutter drag, prevents pitch adhesion, and eliminates surface wood scorching.
  • 1/2-Inch Heavy-Duty Vibration-Free Shank: Precision-ground steel shanks provide maximum clamping surface area in router table collets to eliminate chatter.
  • Solid Wood Storage Box Protection: Includes a fitted hardwood case to shield precision carbide cutting edges from jobsite impact and moisture corrosion.
