Freud 36-112 Carbide Beading Router Bit 5/16″ Radius 1/4″ Shank Quadra-Cut Industrial Edging Tool Furniture Molding Hardwood Plywood Wood Composites

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 Freuds 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.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: To prevent splintering when working with highly figured hardwoods or cross-grain applications, use a “scoring” pass by setting the bit to a very shallow depth first, then complete the cut at the final height for a flawlessly smooth bead.
