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.**
