classical bead and cove bit describes this Freud Tool router bit that cuts a traditional bead and cove profile, so you can add a consistent classical edge detail to cabinets, furniture, plaques, and millwork without changing cutters between passes. The 1-5/8 inch diameter cutting profile creates a substantial decorative edge, which helps larger doors, tops, and trim stand out visually on finished woodworking projects. A 1/4 inch shank matches common router collets, allowing the bit to fit typical hand-held and table-mounted routers used in shops. Overall 2 inch length gives enough projection for edgeforming while keeping the bit compact, supporting controlled handling at the router table or on a hand-held pass along long stock.
The 1/4 inch shank on this Freud bead and cove router bit seats into standard 1/4 inch router collets, so it suits compact routers as well as full-size machines set up with that collet size. A 1-5/8 inch diameter cutting profile gives wide edge coverage in a single pass, supporting efficient runs along long rails, stiles, or shelf fronts. With a 2 inch overall length, the bit projects enough to reach full profile depth while staying short enough for stable clamping in the collet, which matters when routing hardwood, softwood, plywood, or composite edges at typical feed rates.
This Freud decorative edge bit is described for adding distinctive design to cabinets, furniture, plaques, and millwork, so it fits jobs that call for a visible classical bead and cove along exposed edges. The bit is intended for routing hardwood, softwood, plywood, or composites, which means one profile serves solid frames, veneered panels, and composite trim in the same installation. Because the bit belongs to Freud's complete selection of decorative profiles, it lets you coordinate this bead and cove edge with other Freud patterns on the same project, helping doors, tops, and moldings share a unified visual language from the router table to final install.
This Quadra-Cut router bit uses Freud's patented Quadra-Cut design, which is specified to deliver an extra-fine finish on decorative edges, so routed profiles come off the bit closer to finish-ready on cabinets and furniture. Cutting all composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and softwood with the same bit keeps the edge geometry consistent when a job mixes materials, reducing profile variation between hardwood frames and sheet-good components. Freud Perma-SHIELD Coating on the bit supports that finish by helping the body shed buildup as it cuts, which in practice helps the cutting geometry stay effective across longer runs. Use on hand-held and table-mounted routers adds flexibility, so the same edgeforming router bit handles freehand passes on installed parts and controlled cuts on loose stock in the shop environment.
