Freud beading bit is a radius beading bit designed to cut a round profile with an inset bead, giving furniture and millwork a consistent decorative edge that stays uniform from piece to piece on the same setup. The 1-3/8 inch diameter sizing keeps the cut large enough for visible detail while still manageable for typical router passes on furniture parts or trim stock. A 1/4 inch shank fits routers that accept this common shank size, so the bit drops into many jobsite or shop routers without changing collets. Overall 2 inch length keeps the cutting geometry compact, which helps maintain control in both hand-held and table-mounted router work. As a Quadra Cut Perma-SHIELD coated Freud router bit, it is built for edgeforming work where repeatable bead profiles matter on both solid wood and sheet goods.
This Freud beading bit uses a 1/4 inch shank, so it fits routers or collets designed for that shank size and locks in securely for edgeforming operations. The bit is intended for use in both hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, letting you choose between following edges on assembled pieces or running smaller work on a router table for added control. The bearing at the tip rides the work edge when beading, so the radius and bead track the same reference, which helps keep profiles aligned around corners and along long stock. With its 2 inch overall length, the bit stays relatively short in the collet, aiding stability while still providing enough reach for common edge thicknesses in furniture and casework.
This radius beading bit, with 1-3/8 inch diameter and bearing-guided profile, is intended to add an attractive bead to furniture and millwork, so it suits face frames, trim, and similar edge details. Because it can rout solid wood, plywood, and composites, the same cutter handles casework panels, edge-banded parts, and hardwood components without switching bits between materials. Use on hand-held routers lets you run the radius and bead along assembled work or long moldings by following the bearing, keeping the bead centered relative to the edge while moving along the piece. When used in table-mounted portable routers, the bit supports working smaller parts or repetitive components, giving a steady platform where the bearing and fence combine to keep the bead in the same location part after part.
The bearing that creates an inset bead at the bottom of the radius acts as both guide and profile locator, so once the bit height is set, the bead automatically registers at the same offset along the entire run. Swapping to the Freud 62-104 (AB62-104) bearing with the 62-313 (AB62-313) step washer changes the way the cutter rides the edge, allowing rounding over work without the inset bead while keeping the same cutter body, which helps maintain familiar feel and geometry. The Freud Perma-SHIELD coating on this Quadra Cut router bit contributes to smoother movement through typical composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and softwoods, supporting a consistent feed rate and edge feel during longer routing sessions. Because the manufacturer part number 36-114 identifies this specific beading bit, using that reference ties reorders and matching setups directly to the same radius and bead profile, supporting replacement accuracy across multiple jobs or shops.
The Freud beading bit 36-114 creates a beautiful round profile with an inset bead, giving furniture and millwork a defined decorative edge in a single pass.
This radius beading bit can round over work without the inset bead when used with Freud 62-104 (AB62-104) bearing and 62-313 (AB62-313) step washer, turning it into a simple rounding profile.
This router bit cuts all composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and softwoods, so it handles typical cabinet components, trim, and furniture parts made from these stock types.
The Freud beading bit is designed for hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, allowing the same cutter to work on assembled pieces and smaller parts on a router table.
This beading bit has a 1/4 inch shank and 2 inch overall length, giving a compact setup that fits common routers while maintaining stability during edgeforming cuts.
The Freud Perma-SHIELD coating on this bit provides a treated surface that supports smoother routing in normal woodworking use where heat and debris can impact performance.
This Freud beading bit, identified as manufacturer part 36-114, combines a 1-3/8 inch radius beading profile, 1/4 inch shank, and bearing-guided inset bead to handle decorative edge work on solid wood, plywood, and composites. With its ability to run in hand-held or table-mounted portable routers, and the option to round over edges using the specified Freud bearing and step washer, it supports a range of edgeforming tasks from furniture parts to millwork runs. For shops and installers needing a consistent bead or rounded edge from a single router bit, this Quadra Cut Perma-SHIELD coated cutter offers a defined profile and flexible routing setups ready for regular woodworking projects.
