Carbide Tipped Beading & Fluting Router Bits

Corner Beading Bits

Produce three slightly different profiles using this bit—an edge bead with or without a fillet and a full corner bead—by altering the bit extension or rolling the work piece between passes. This group of hard-to-find tools is particularly suitable for antique reproductions and restoration projects. Use in a handheld or table-mounted router.

In one pass, this bit forms a round-edged groove near the corner of the work piece. A second pass on the adjoining face yields a delicate leaf shaped corner bead. Use in a handheld or table-mounted router.

Cut joints for staved assemblies, such as circular planters, canoes and hot tubs, with this pair of bits. One bit flutes an edge, and the other forms the mating bead. Use in CNC or table-mounted routers. It will cut plywood, hardwood, softwood and composition materials. For the best and accurate match we recommend using a table-mounted router.

Three different radii of beads are stacked on this one bit. Route all three on an edge, or use it to nose thin stock. Router table use recommended for best control, but use in a handheld router is possible. Must be used with a edge guide.

This dual purpose bit produces both moldings and joints. Use in place of matched flute-and-bead bit sets to mill the edges of strips used in various stave constructions like planters, canoes and hot tubs. Switch from fluting to beading by raising or lowering the bit. Pilot bearing allows use for template-guided cuts. Recommended for router table use; smaller
sizes can be used with an edge-guide equipped portable router.

Produce beading detail on edges or moulding. Use in a handheld or table mounted router.

Similar to the corner bead, but with a radiused, rather than a hard edged quirk. Since this bit lacks a pilot, it must be used with a fence or edge guide. Suitable for either handheld or table-mounted routers.

This bit produces a fingernail flute, rather than a full 180° radius flute. Creates an interesting edge detail, and it can be used to make small-scale cornice-type mouldings. Use in a handheld or a table-mounted router.

Cut individual flutes - shallow, small radius grooves - in narrow edges without having to balance a router on that edge. The bit cuts at right angles to the bit axis. Flute depth is controlled by the pilot bearing, the flute's position by the router's bit-height setting. Use in a handheld or table-mounted router.
