PROMASTERTOOL™ T-Shaped Flute & Bead Router Bit Set – 2 Pieces

Create matching edges for curved woodwork

The PROMASTERTOOL™ T-Shaped Flute & Bead Router Bit Set pairs two complementary cutters to help you prepare interlocking wood-strip edges. Shape a rounded bead on one piece and a matching concave flute on the next for panels, planters and strip-built woodworking projects.

Choose a 1/2" or 1/4" shank. Your set includes both cutters in the selected shank size.

Two cutters. One matching joint.

• Flute cutter: forms the concave groove along the edge of a strip.
• Bead cutter: shapes the rounded edge that fits into the adjoining groove.

The matching profiles run along the long edges of adjoining wood strips. The strips sit side by side, and the rounded bead-and-flute connection allows a gradual change in angle between neighboring strips when forming a curved panel. Check the fit on test pieces before assembly.

Carbide cutting edges and a steel body

Carbide-tipped cutting edges are paired with hardened steel bodies and coated cutter heads. The close-up views show the shaped cutting edges, body coating and cylindrical shank, so you can see how each part of the bit is constructed.

Work with familiar workshop materials

Suitable materials include solid wood, MDF, particleboard and plywood. Choose stock appropriate to your project and make a sample cut in the same material to check edge quality and fit before routing the finished pieces.

Long-edge joints for strip-built projects

Use the set to prepare the long edges of wood strips for curved panels and cedar-strip assemblies. The image below shows adjacent strips joined along their length. It illustrates edge-to-edge strip construction; it does not show an end-grain corner joint.

Choose the shank that fits your router

The size selector refers to the shank diameter, which must match your router's collet. It does not refer to cutting diameter. Both options include the same type of matched two-bit set.

The size guide shows the 1/2" shank version. Select your required shank size when ordering.

What's included

One flute router bit and one bead router bit in your selected shank size. Each purchase includes one two-piece set. Set the cutter height on scrap stock and check that the mating edges align before starting your final cuts.
