Similar to a roundover router bit, a Beading Bit utilizes a bearing to guide the cut along a workpiece. The radius of the bit and the depth of cut determine the resulting decorative beaded profile.

1/2"	1/2"	1-1/2"	3/4"	2-5/8"	108250	2109
All bits up to 1" radius use a 3/16" ID by 3/8" OD bearing and can be converted to a roundover bit by changing to a 3/16" ID x 1/2" OD bearing.
