Radius Beading Bit 1-1/8 Diameter describes a Freud Tool router bit designed to cut a beaded profile along furniture and millwork edges, so you can turn plain square stock into finished work with a consistent decorative detail in a single pass. The 1-1/8 inch diameter cutting profile shapes a substantial bead, which helps visually break sharp transitions on table edges, rails, or trim pieces. A 1/4 inch shank fits routers that accept this common shank size, allowing use in many hand-held or table-mounted setups used in small shops and on-site work. The bit creates a beautiful round profile with an inset bead, so one setup handles both rounding and detailing where you want a more refined edge on solid wood, plywood, or composite projects.
This Freud beading bit is built as an edgeforming router bit for use in hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, so you can choose the workflow that fits your shop or jobsite routine. The 1/4 inch shank fits collets sized for this standard, which lets the bit seat securely in many compact or mid-size routers used for edge work. The bearing at the tip rides the workpiece edge, simplifying setup because you set cutting depth relative to the bearing rather than building fences for every run. When you want to round over without the inset bead, Freud specifies adding a Freud 62-104 (AB62-104) bearing and 62-313 (AB62-313) step washer, giving flexibility to switch from decorative bead to simple roundover using the same basic bit body.
The Freud 36-110 beading bit is intended for edgeforming in furniture and millwork, so it naturally fits jobs like tabletops, shelves, face frames, and trim where sharp corners need a controlled decorative break. Because it cuts all composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and softwoods, one profile can carry through built-ins that mix veneered panels with solid edging, keeping the visual detail consistent around doors, panels, and exposed edges. In a hand-held router, the bearing-guided design works well for long cabinet runs or on installed millwork where fences are impractical, allowing the bead to follow existing edges accurately. In a table-mounted router, the same bearing support helps when repeating parts such as drawer fronts or rail stock, keeping the bead position stable from piece to piece.
The beading bit uses Freud Quadra Cut technology described in the SAP as BEADING BIT, QUADRA CUT, which is engineered to create a beautiful round profile with an inset bead so the finished edge looks precise along the full run. The bearing that creates an inset bead at the bottom of the radius also sets a consistent reference, so even when stock thickness varies slightly, the bead lands in a predictable location relative to the corner. Freud Perma-SHIELD Coating on the bit supports cooler, cleaner cutting in composition materials and plywood, which helps maintain smooth edges when routing many identical parts. When a project calls for a simple roundover instead of a beaded detail, swapping to the Freud 62-104 (AB62-104) bearing and 62-313 (AB62-313) step washer lets this same tool body perform that role, reducing bit changes and helping keep routing setups streamlined.
The Freud 36-110 beading bit creates a beautiful round profile with an inset bead, giving furniture and millwork edges a decorative, finished appearance in one routing pass.
The Freud beading bit uses a bearing that creates an inset bead at the bottom of the radius, so the bead stays consistently positioned relative to the workpiece edge.
The Freud beading bit is specified for use on hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, so it suits both router table setups and hand-held routing jobs.
The beading bit is designed to cut all composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and softwoods, allowing one profile to carry across mixed wood and panel projects.
For rounding over work without the inset bead, Freud specifies adding a Freud 62-104 (AB62-104) bearing and 62-313 (AB62-313) step washer to this bit.
The Radius Beading Bit has a 1/4 inch shank, fitting routers that accept this common shank diameter for edgeforming and profile work.
The Freud Tool Radius Beading Bit, 1-1/8 inch diameter with 1/4 inch shank, delivers a round profile with an inset bead in solid wood, plywood, and composites, giving furniture and millwork edges a repeatable finished detail using hand-held or table-mounted routers.
