Why this corner beading bit stands out

Few bits pair two-pass accuracy with true bearing guidance as reliably as the Freud 99-024. The combination minimizes tear-out on tight corners, maintains consistent stock removal, and delivers a crisp, professional bead every time. If you’re upgrading a shop or tackling stairs, mantels, or custom railing systems, this bit provides both the visual appeal and the dependable performance you need.

Quick practical tips

1. Mount the bit securely and verify the bearing height matches the desired bead depth.
2. Work with a steady feed rate and make the first pass lighter to establish the base shape.
3. Follow with the second pass to finalize the corner bead, keeping the router perpendicular to the workpiece for clean corners.
4. Test on scrap wood to dial in depth and diameter first, then apply to your final piece.
