Refine Your Woodworking Projects: Freud 1-3/8" Cove and Bead Router Bit with Quadra-Cut Technology

Add a touch of classic sophistication to your furniture, cabinetry, and plaques with the Freud 99-009 Cove and Bead Router Bit. This specialized decorative edging bit is designed to produce a timeless profile that combines a smooth concave curve with a delicate rounded bead. Ideal for enhancing table edges, drawer fronts, and architectural millwork, it cuts cleanly through a wide range of materials, including hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites. Whether you are using a hand-held router for on-site work or a table-mounted setup for batch production, this bit delivers consistent, professional results.

What sets the 99-009 apart is Freud’s patented Quadra-Cut™ design. Unlike standard two-cutter bits, this advanced geometry employs four cutting edges—two large cutters that shear upward to remove the bulk of the material, and two smaller cutters that shear downward to trim the edge. This opposing shear action eliminates fuzz and tear-out, leaving an extra-fine finish that requires little to no sanding. Protected by Freud’s exclusive Perma-SHIELD® Coating to resist heat and pitch build-up, and featuring premium TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, this tool is built for maximum durability and edge retention.

Key Features

  • Decorative Profile: Creates a classic Cove and Bead edge perfect for furniture, cabinets, and plaques.
  • Quadra-Cut™ Technology: Four-cutter design (2 up-shear, 2 down-shear) provides a flawless, glass-smooth finish.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating reduces friction, heat, and resin build-up for longer tool life.
  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Proprietary carbide blend ensures a sharper edge that stays sharp longer.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Safe for use with both hand-held and table-mounted routers.
  • Multi-Material Cutting: Excellent performance in plywood, hardwoods, softwoods, and composite materials.

Pro-Tip: To achieve the best possible finish on cross-grain cuts (like the ends of a table top), rout the end grain sides first. Any minor tear-out that occurs at the corner will be cleaned up when you rout the long grain sides next, leaving you with perfect, crisp corners all around.
