Amana Tool beading bit is a 2-flute edge forming beaded groove router bit designed to cut quarter-round profiles as it grooves, which shapes a bead on each side of a flat surface. The bit has a 1/2 inch diameter and a 1/8 inch radius profile, so it produces a compact, consistent bead that suits cabinet doors, panels, and trim where a small, repeatable detail is needed. Its 3/8 inch cutting height gives enough depth to form the bead and leave clean flats, supporting controlled decorative work on edges or in grooves. A 1/4 inch shank connects this bit to routers using a 1/4 inch collet, aligning with common shop tools for cabinetry and woodworking. Overall length is 1-7/8 inch, providing a familiar setup height for routing operations where stability and control matter.
This edge forming beaded groove 2-flute router bit is used with a fence or edge guide, which keeps the cut aligned along the stock edge or groove for consistent bead placement. When guided, the 1/2 inch diameter and 3/8 inch cutting height work together to track steadily along the workpiece, so the bead and flat land stay uniform from end to end. The 1/4 inch shank and 1-7/8 inch overall length place the cutting geometry close to the router bearing surface, supporting controlled feed and reduced deflection as the bit engages the wood. Because the profile forms quarter-round beads as it grooves, a single setup can handle both edge forming and decorative groove work in cabinetry or trim runs.
This edge forming beaded groove 2-flute router bit belongs in router operations where a beaded quarter-round profile is needed on both sides of a flat. The 1/2 inch diameter allows the bit to work along cabinet door rails, stiles, and frame members without overwhelming narrow parts. With a 3/8 inch cutting height, the bit forms a full bead while still leaving flat lands, which suits panel edges and face frames where a defined transition is important. The 1/8 inch radius controls the scale of the bead so it fits furniture-grade work, trim details, and grooved accents. Used with a fence or edge guide, the profile can be run along edges or along guided grooves to repeat the same decorative line across multiple pieces in a job.
The 2-flute cutting layout on this beaded groove router bit distributes cutting around the 1/2 inch diameter, which helps maintain a balanced cut when routing longer edges. Its 1/4 inch shank concentrates the cutting forces near the collet, and with the 1-7/8 inch overall length, this helps limit flex for cleaner edges and more consistent beads. The 1/8 inch radius, combined with the 3/8 inch cutting height, defines exactly how much material is shaped into the quarter-round, so repeated passes on matched parts produce uniform profiles. Using a fence or edge guide keeps the bit referenced to the same point on the workpiece, so the beaded detail lines up from part to part and across assembled cabinets or trim runs.
This Amana Tool beading bit forms quarter-round profiles on each side of a flat as it grooves, which creates a beaded detail suitable for decorative cabinet and furniture work.
The edge forming beaded groove router bit is used with a fence or edge guide, so the cut tracks along the workpiece edge or groove for consistent bead alignment.
The 1/2 inch diameter defines the cutting circle size, keeping the profile compact so beads can be applied to narrow rails, stiles, and trim pieces.
The 1/4 inch shank matches routers with a 1/4 inch collet, allowing this bit to run in many trim and mid-size routers commonly used in woodworking shops.
The 3/8 inch cutting height lets the bit form a full quarter-round bead while leaving controlled flat areas, supporting strong, decorative edges on thinner stock.
The 56170 beaded groove router bit has a 1-7/8 inch overall length, keeping the cutting edges close to the collet for stable routing and smoother cuts.
This Amana Tool beading bit pairs a 1/2 inch diameter, 1/8 inch radius, and 3/8 inch cutting height to deliver a controlled quarter-round bead for cabinet and trim projects. The 1/4 inch shank and 1-7/8 inch overall length support stable operation in routers using a 1/4 inch collet. When guided by a fence or edge guide, it forms matching beads along edges or grooves, helping keep profiles consistent across doors, frames, and panels. For jobs that call for a compact, repeatable beaded groove profile, this edge forming beaded groove 2-flute router bit matches those routing requirements.
