Elevate trimwork, molding, and fine furniture with the Freud 39-304 3/32" Radius Classical Beading Groove Bit. Its bead-and-flat-bottom design creates a timeless bead that adds depth and character to surfaces while keeping surrounding areas clean and flat. The 3/32" radius delivers a classic, refined profile that complements both traditional and contemporary millwork.

Designed for versatile workflows, this bit works seamlessly in CNC machines, handheld routers, or table-mounted routers. It mills across a range of materials including hard and soft woods, plywood, and composites, making it a reliable choice for mixed-material projects and evolving shop needs.

What makes it different

• Classic 3/32" radius bead profile paired with a flat bottom for crisp, repeatable beads on moldings, frames, and furniture edges.
• Multi-platform compatibility: use in CNC, handheld, or table-mounted routers to fit your workflow.
• Broad material compatibility ensures you can complete diverse projects with a single bit: hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composite panels.
• Precision-cutting edges deliver clean beading with minimal tear-out, reducing post-routing finishing time.
• Freud/Diablo build quality translates to durability and repeatable performance across long runs.

Practical applications

Use this bit to add subtle, elegant beading to cabinet doors, picture frames, decorative panels, chair rails, frames, and other millwork. The restrained bead size complements both traditional and contemporary designs, helping you achieve refinement without overpowering the underlying material.

Tips for best results

Prepare your stock, secure the workpiece, and verify settings on a scrap piece before committing to a full run. Start with conservative depths and steady, even passes to maximize bead uniformity, then finish with light sanding or a wipe-down to reveal the bead's crisp profile.
