Description

1/2" Radius Beading Bit (Quadra-Cut) Designed for the serious woodworker, the Freud 36-126 Quadra-Cut - 1/2 Inch Radius Beading Router Bit - 1/2-Inch Shank features a non-stick Perma-Shield coating and Freud's patented Quadra-Cut design for a smoother finish that requires no rework. Quadra-Cut employs four cutting blades, rather than the industry standard of two, letting you create professional-quality beading for millwork and furniture on a variety of stock, including composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and softwood. Because it's constructed with Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide MicroGrain material, this durable router bit is designed to last.Quadra-Cut Design for a Consistently Clean Finish The exclusive Quadra- Cut design uses four cutters for a flawless finish. This innovative cutter design works by utilizing two of the cutters for an upward cutting action, while the other two cutters simultaneously cut downward. The result is an amazingly smooth finish that requires no rework.Soften Edges and Create Decorative Beads Use the 36-126 with any handheld or table-mounted portable router that accepts a 1/2-inch shank for that perfect finishing touch on all of your wood furniture pieces. This bit produces an incredibly accurate 1/2-inch radius cut for round or decorative edges.Do you want to produce a smooth, round finish on your furniture pieces? It's no problem for the 36-126 Beading Router Bit. Simply equip the bit with a Freud 62-104 bearing and 62-313 step washer (both sold separately), and it will transform the bit's profile to produce a smooth, round over finish.Durable Design with Protective Coating to Resist Heat and Corrosion Freud equips all of their router bits with their exclusive TiCo Hi-Density MicroGrain carbide for maximum durability and cutting life. In addition, Freud shields their bits from heat, rust, corrosion and wear by coating all of their Quadra-Cut Router Bits with their exclusive non-stick, red Perma-SHIELD coating.The 36-126 Beading Router Bit measures 2-3/4 inches long and has a 1/2-inch shank, and 1/2-inch cutting radius.

  • Nice cutting bit
Style: 3/8-Inch Radius Beading Router Bit with ...
Very sharp bit that does not burn wood even when full depth through wood that is prone to burning such as cherry. I have typically used cheaper products and have to make cuts in multiple passes, but not with this bit. I will be using Freud bits in the future.

  • Inaccurate product listing

Three stars for the uncertainty that I had to feel before receiving delivery. Some of the reviews stated receiving a Quadra cut and others with only two cutters… Which is what the listing shows in the picture. Description does not match the picture and seller needs to get more organized. Other than that, I did receive the Quadra cut and Always expect the best from Freud products ... show more

  • Freud quality
Style: 5/8-Inch Radius Beading Router Bit with ...
I bought this bit to route the bull nose to complete my raised fireplace area in the corner of our living room. The material I used was white Oak that was recycled from a building built around the turn of century. It's beautiful wood with much tighter grain than you see these days and it's hard. Very hard. Like all Freud router bits I've owned though, this made short work of it and left very little sanding for me. Truth is, if I wasn't so picky, I could have left it alone, but I sanded it to rough it up a little because it was too smooth and shiny. Sure, there are cheaper bits out there that will cut the same profile, but, they won't do it as well or for as long as a Freud. ... show more

  • Great bit, but be safe when using!
Style: 7/8-Inch Radius Beading Router Bit with ...
The 7/8” bit is quite large (2-1/4” overall) and requires a steady hand to use. I mounted it in my router table to create the profile, and it was an effort for me (I used Gripper push blocks to push the workpiece through.) I crated column capitals using 1-1/2” western red cedar for the molding and cap. Overall, the bit worked perfectly! ... show more
