Enhance furniture and millwork with the precision of the Freud 36-134 1-1/8" Quadra-Cut Radius Beading Bit. This dedicated beading bit helps you introduce an elegant, consistent bead profile or soften sharp, square corners with effortless control.

Key features and how they help you:

• Inset bead with dependable bearing: The built-in bearing creates a clean inset bead at the bottom of the radius, delivering a refined, professional edge on cabinetry, frames, and decorative trim.
• Quadra-Cut design for smooth, accurate cuts: engineered for precise routing, helping you achieve crisp bead profiles with minimal tear-out on solid wood, plywood, or composites.
• Versatile rounding options: For rounding over work without the inset bead, pair the bit with a Freud 62-104 bearing and 62-313 step washer to tailor the edge to your exact design.
• Broad compatibility: Suitable for both hand-held and table-mounted routers, making it a flexible choice for a range of shop setups and project sizes.

Ideal applications include decorative beading on furniture components, cabinet doors and frames, moldings, chair rails, and picture frames. Whether you’re building a classic shaker nightstand or a contemporary media console, this bit delivers consistent results that elevate the overall finish.

Practical tips for best results:

• Rout with a steady feed rate and light passes to reduce tear-out on plywood and veneer-covered surfaces.
• Start with a test cut on scrap material to dial in the exact depth and bead size before working on your project.
• When you want an inset bead, ensure the bearing is properly seated and aligned with the cut path to maintain uniformity along the edge.
• For rounded-over edges without the inset bead, use the compatible 62-104 bearing and 62-313 step washer as described to achieve a clean, consistent profile.

The Freud 36-134 1-1/8" Quadra-Cut Radius Beading Bit brings professional-grade detail to your woodworking projects, helping you achieve magazine-worthy edges with confidence and efficiency.
