Introducing the Freud 30-202 5/16" Radius Cove & Fillet Bit—a precise router bit designed to bring a timeless edge profile to your woodworking projects. This bit creates a smooth cove with a small fillet at the top, a hallmark of traditional furniture and millwork that reads as refined craftsmanship in every piece.

What makes this bit stand out:

• 5/16" radius with a top fillet: Delivers the classic cove shape paired with a delicate fillet, delivering a look that’s instantly recognizable in heirloom-quality furniture and trim.
• Flexible profile option: By raising the bit so the fillet sits above the workpiece, you can rout a conventional cove without the fillet for alternate design possibilities.
• Material versatility: Performs predictably in hard or soft woods, plywood, and composites, making it a reliable choice for cabinetry, millwork, and decorative trim.
• Router compatibility: Designed for use in both handheld and table-mounted routers, giving you control whether you’re corner-cutting on a piece or shaping long runs on a cabinet door.
• Consistent, repeatable results: Precision geometry supports clean cuts and a smooth surface finish, helping you achieve professional-grade edges with less effort.

Ideal uses and practical applications

This bit is perfect for adding traditional edge details to a wide range of projects—cabinetry edges and panel frames, door and drawer fronts, picture frames, chair rails, and architectural millwork. It also works well for curved surfaces where a gentle cove with a subtle fillet enhances light-and-shadow play on molding and trim. Whether you’re building heirloom bedroom furniture or modern casework with a classic touch, the Freud 30-202 delivers a refined profile that elevates the piece.

How to get the best results

• Plan and test: Start with scrap pieces to dial in depth and take multiple shallow passes to minimize tear-out and achieve the desired fillet height.
• Use the adjustable option: If you want a plain cove, raise the bit so the fillet clears the work surface for a clean, fillet-free edge.
• Control your feed: Maintain steady, even pressure and let the bit do the cutting to preserve edge detail and surface quality.
• Support and safety: Secure long workpieces and wear appropriate safety gear; ensure the router bit is sharp and clean for best results.

With the Freud 30-202 5/16" Radius Cove & Fillet Bit, you gain a versatile, profile-ready tool that blends traditional aesthetics with modern routing flexibility—so your projects capture classic charm without sacrificing practicality.
