Freud 38-282 1-1/4 Inch Dia Cove and Fillet Router Bit 1/2 Inch Shank 5/16 Radius Decorative Edging Tool for Woodworking Cabinets Furniture

Create Versatile Decorative Profiles with the Freud Cove and Fillet Router Bit

Unlock new design possibilities for your woodworking projects with the Freud 38-282 1-1/4" Cove and Fillet Router Bit. This high-performance tool is designed to produce a smooth, elegant cove profile accented by a small, crisp fillet at the top—a detail frequently seen in high-end traditional furniture and millwork. What makes this bit truly versatile is its "two-in-one" capability; by simply adjusting the height of the bit so the fillet sits above the workpiece, you can also route a standard cove profile. Whether you are working with hardwood, softwood, plywood, or composite materials, this bit ensures a flawless finish on every cut.

Engineered for professional durability, the 38-282 features Freud’s industry-leading TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, a proprietary blend that stays sharp significantly longer than standard bits. The body is coated in Freud’s exclusive Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which minimizes friction and prevents the buildup of heat, rust, and pitch during heavy use. With its robust 1/2" shank, this bit provides superior stability and reduced vibration, making it a safe and reliable choice for both hand-held and table-mounted portable routers.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: To achieve the "standard cove" look without the top fillet, perform a test cut on scrap wood first. Slowly raise the bit height until the flat fillet portion of the carbide cutter is just above the top surface of the wood. This technique allows you to get two distinct architectural styles from a single bit.
