Key Features & Benefits
- Single Reed Profile — produces one clean rounded bead on the edge of the workpiece; the TB8 bearing rides the face of the timber to set the depth automatically.
- Ball Bearing Guide — freehand edge routing is possible along any straight or curved edge; no fence required.
- Use as a Combination Bit — adjust machine height to include only part of the profile, creating alternative bead profiles from the same bit.
- 1/2″ Shank — heavy shank for stable cutting with this decorative profile bit.
When to Use This Bit
Use the TRS 3 B 1/2 for a single decorative edge bead on furniture components, architraves, and cabinet face frames. The ball bearing ensures consistent bead depth regardless of timber width variation. For double edge beads, choose TRD 3 B 1/2; for a four-bead pattern, use TRM 3 B 1/2.
Pro Tip: Run the bearing against the face of the workpiece (bottom of the bit riding the surface). Adjust bit height to expose more or less of the profile for different bead sizes from the same cutter.
