Freud 36-106 5/32 Inch Radius Beading Router Bit 1/4 Inch Shank TiCo Carbide Quadra-Cut Edging Tool for Decorative Millwork and Furniture Profiles

Add Sophisticated Architectural Detail with Precision Beading and Edge Softening

Enhance the visual appeal of your woodworking projects with the Freud 36-106 5/32" Radius Beading Router Bit. This high-performance tool is specifically designed to add an attractive bead profile to furniture and custom millwork, providing a classic, decorative touch to any edge. The bit includes a specialized pilot bearing that creates a distinct inset bead at the bottom of the radius, distinguishing it from standard round-over bits. Whether you are crafting intricate cabinetry or simply softening the sharp corners of square stock, this bit provides the versatility needed for professional-grade results.

Engineered for maximum durability and a glass-smooth finish, the 36-106 features Freud’s exclusive TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide and a precision-balanced 1/4" shank. The tool is protected by the signature Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which dramatically reduces friction, heat buildup, and resin accumulation to extend the life of the bit. For added flexibility, this bit can be converted for standard rounding-over work without the inset bead by simply adding a Freud 62-104 bearing and 62-313 step washer (sold separately). Perfectly suited for use with hand-held or table-mounted routers, it effortlessly slices through solid wood, plywood, and composites.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: To achieve a flawless finish on delicate hardwoods, always rout in the direction of the grain and use a steady, consistent feed rate. If you find the inset bead is burning the wood, check the bearing for resin buildup and ensure your router speed is set appropriately—high-speed bits like this 5/32" radius cutter perform best when they aren't forced through the material too slowly.
