Router Bit Beading 5/16'

Beading Router Bit Cutting Depth: 1/2" Radius: 5/16" Classification: Standard (Yellow) The Beading Router Bit is a specialized edge-forming tool designed to create a classic, decorative profile on the edges of woodworking pieces. It is distinct from a simple roundover bit because it cuts a rounded or convex bead shape that is bounded by small, square shoulders, often called fillets, above and below the curve. This profile is perfect for adding a touch of traditional elegance and refinement to furniture, cabinetry, tabletops, and architectural molding. Most models include a guide bearing to ensure smooth, consistent, and perfectly aligned cuts along straight or curved edges without the need for a fence. Constructed with durable carbide tips, this bit is engineered for clean, tear-out-free cuts in a variety of materials, from hardwoods to softwoods and composites, making it an indispensable tool for woodworkers seeking to elevate the aesthetic quality of their projects. Application: Router bits are for use with router machines only. Be sure that at least 3/4 of the shaft length is inserted into the router collet. Do not 'bottom-out' the bit in the collet. The shank should be 1/8' from the bottom of the collet. Route in two or more passes when large amounts of stock must be removed. Carpenters Craftsmen Hobbyists Woodworking DIY
