Whiteside Cove and Bead Router Bits

Cove and bead router bits are versatile cutting tools used in woodworking to create decorative profiles that combine a cove (concave) shape and a bead (rounded) shape on the edge of wood pieces. These bits allow you to create visually appealing and intricate designs on furniture, cabinets, trim work, and other woodworking projects.

Cove and bead router bits typically have a combination of a concave cutting edge (cove) followed by a rounded cutting edge (bead). The cove section creates a concave groove, while the bead section adds a rounded feature adjacent to the cove. The cutting edges are usually carbide-tipped for durability and sharpness.
