Product Description

Materials: Natural woods, composite woods, hard plastics

Recommended RPM: 14,000-16,000 (max 18,000)

Sold individually as a 1/8" Radius Fluting Bit (#3520) or Beading Bit (#3530). When used together to edge 1/4" thick stock, the resulting joint allows each strip to be angled. This allows assembly in a curved configuration for numerous projects such as canoe hulls.

**Wood block shows the joint made using both the #3520 and #3530.**

TOOL SPECS: Carbide-tipped radius beading bit with 1/8" radius, 1-1/8" large diameter, 1/2" shank, and 2-3/8" overall length for use with 1/2" collets.
APPLICATIONS: Perfect for creating curved shapes with thin wood strips, ideal for projects like canoe hulls, hot tub enclosures, curved planters, and other bent wood designs.
CURVED JOINTS: Sold separately as flute (Item #3530) and bead (Item #3530) bits, designed to create seamless curved joints by precisely matching the two profiles for a perfect fit.
STOCK SIZE: The joint has a 1/8" radius, making it ideal for 1/4" thick stock.
TRIPLE FLUTE: This bit features three carbide cutting edges for an extra clean cut. The steel shank provides a stronger, rigid tool with reduced vibration.
MATERIALS: Perfect for use on natural woods, composite woods, and hard plastics, providing clean and precise cuts across a variety of surfaces.
