Freud 30-094 1/16 Inch Radius Cove Router Bit 1/4 Inch Shank TiCo Carbide Tipped Decorative Edging Tool for Woodworking Projects

Create Delicate Decorative Edges with Precision and Ease

Add a subtle, classic touch to your furniture and millwork with the Freud 30-094 1/16" Radius Cove Router Bit. Designed to rout clean, smooth concave edges, this bit is perfect for breaking sharp corners and adding detail to drawer fronts, cabinet doors, and architectural molding. Often referred to as a "core box" profile when used without a bearing, this bearing-guided version makes it incredibly easy to follow curved or straight templates, ensuring consistent, professional results on every pass. Its compact size allows for intricate detailing on smaller projects where finesse is required.

Engineered for longevity and superior finish quality, the 30-094 features Freud’s industry-leading TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide. This proprietary micrograin formulation delivers a sharper cutting edge that stays sharp longer, even when working with abrasive materials like plywood and composites, as well as solid hardwoods and softwoods. The bit incorporates a high shear angle design that slices through wood fibers—much like a hand plane—to produce a flawless finish with minimal sanding. Protected by the exclusive Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, the tool resists heat buildup, corrosion, and pitch accumulation for smooth, chatter-free operation in both hand-held and table-mounted routers.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: When using a bit with a very small radius like 1/16", it is easy to accidentally cut deeper than intended, which alters the profile. Perform a test cut on a scrap piece of wood first to dial in the perfect depth setting. This ensures the bearing makes contact right at the edge for a crisp, uniform cove without leaving a "step" in the wood.
