Add Classic Detail to Your Projects with the Freud Cove and Bead Router Bit
Enhance the visual appeal of your woodworking creations with the Freud 38-304 1-9/16" Cove and Bead Router Bit. This precision-engineered tool cuts a timeless profile featuring a smooth concave radius (Cove) paired with a rounded convex edge (Bead). It is the ideal solution for adding distinctive, professional-grade design to cabinet doors, furniture edges, plaques, and architectural millwork. Whether you are routing hardwood, softwood, plywood, or composite materials, this bit delivers a crisp, clean finish. Its 1/4" shank is compatible with a wide variety of hand-held and table-mounted portable routers.
Freud bits are renowned for their industrial durability and cutting performance. The 38-304 is constructed with TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, a proprietary blend designed to retain a sharp edge significantly longer than standard carbide. The body of the bit is protected by Freud’s exclusive Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which minimizes friction and prevents the buildup of heat, rust, and pitch during use. Computer-balanced for vibration-free operation, this bit ensures a smooth surface finish that reduces the need for sanding.
Key Features
- Classic Profile: Creates a decorative Cove and Bead edge perfect for molding and furniture.
- TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Specially formulated carbide blend for maximum sharpness and durability.
- Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating protects against heat, corrosion, and resin adhesion.
- Precision Balanced: Computer-balanced to eliminate vibration and ensure chatter-free cuts.
- Versatile Application: Safe for use with both hand-held and table-mounted routers.
- Material Compatibility: Cuts cleanly through composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods.
