Most Useful Cove and Bead Bits

Our Expert

Cove and beading bits are some of the most useful that you can own. And if you combine them with an assortment of corner rounding and ogee bits you can combine cuts to make a number of different moldings.

For example, by combining cuts from Amana Tool Corner Rounding Router Bit with ball bearing guide Tool No. #49518 with Amana Tool Cove Router Bit Tool No. 49118 you can create either a drop-leaf table edge or an attractive molding.

I suggest that you begin with a number of mid-sized bits and then add profiles as you need them. For example, Amana Tool makes corner rounding bits from 1/16" to 1-1/2" radius. Among those sizes you'll most likely find yourself using the sizes in the 3/16" to 3/4" range most often.
