Description of π§ Enhance Your Woodworking with Freud's Radius Traditional Beading 80 128
Commonly used by remodelers to match base moldings in historic homes. Cuts all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods. Use on hand-held and table-mounted portable routers.
Don't make my mistake when ordering and don't confuse 'radius' with diameter. The radius is twice the diameter. If you need a 1/4" wide bead, use a 1/8" drill bit.
Well made and very smooth cut. The only issue I have is that the template pictured online is not accurate. The bearing provided for this bit is too small for the profile shown. Luckily I was able to run a bit on the router table to get the profile I wanted.
I don't use my router very often, but when I do I want it to run smoothly. This beat was exactly what I needed. The bearing rolls smoothly and is wide enough not to mark the relatively soft wood I've been milling. My only criticism is that the racquet is packaged in a plastic display case which, while nice looking, took a lot of effort to get the racquet out of the case back. The racquet is clearly sharp so it was difficult to pull it out without cutting yourself.
