Freud 89-102 5-Piece Rounding Over & Beading Router Bit Set (1/4" Shank) The Freud 89-102 5-piece round over and beading router bit set shapes smooth radiused edges, classic decorative fillets, and architectural moldings across solid hardwoods, softwoods, plywoods, and composite panels. Engineered with Freud's exclusive TiCo™ high-density micrograin carbide teeth and non-stick Perma-SHIELD® coating, each bit operates up to a maximum rotational speed of 24,000 RPM while resisting resin buildup and friction heat. Outfitted with five progressive rounding over bits ranging from 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch radii and an interchangeable 3/8-inch ball bearing that converts every profile into a stepped beading cutter, it equips furniture makers, architectural millworkers, and custom cabinet builders with dual-profile versatility in hand-held and table-mounted routers. Best Used For: Furniture and Tabletop Edge Softening: Easing sharp corner edges on dining tables, desks, cabinet face frames, and chair rails to improve tactile ergonomics and resist edge impact denting. Architectural Beading and Base Cap Millwork: Converting standard radiused profiles into traditional stepped beading details on custom baseboards, wainscoting rails, and door casings. Cabinet Door and Drawer Front Detailing: Milling uniform profile contours on solid wood drawer fronts and raised panel door perimeters across multiple radius sizes. Key Performance & Safety Features Dual-Function Conversion Geometry: Swapping the standard 1/2-inch bearing with the included 3/8-inch bearing instantly converts each round over bit into a stepped decorative beading bit. TiCo™ Hi-Density Micrograin Carbide: Specially formulated titanium cobalt teeth retain razor-sharp edges substantially longer than standard commercial carbide grades. Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating: Thermally stable protective layer reduces rotational friction, sheds pitch and wood resin, and prevents corrosion. Anti-Kickback Safety Design: Integrated shoulder design behind each carbide cutter limits chip thickness to control cut feed and prevent dangerous tool kickback. Precision Shear Angle Alignment: Optimized cutting angles slice smoothly across timber grain to eliminate tear-out, splintering, and edge fuzzing. Wall-Mountable Wooden Shadow Box: Solid wood storage case keeps bit profiles organized, shielded from cutting edge collisions, and visible on shop workbenches or walls.
