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?
