Freud Round Over Bit, 5/32 in. Dia., 1/2 in. Shank

Freud 34-106 Round Over Router Bit

The Freud 34-106 Round Over Router Bit is a precision carbide-tipped router bit designed to soften sharp edges and create smooth, consistent rounded profiles on a wide range of woodworking projects. A round-over bit is one of the most commonly used router bits because it adds both function and appearance by removing harsh corners, improving comfort, and creating a clean, finished edge.

This model features a 5/32 in. radius cutting profile, making it an excellent choice when you want a subtle rounded edge without creating a large decorative curve. It is ideal for adding a refined finishing touch to furniture components, cabinet parts, shelving, trim, and other woodworking projects where a small, professional-looking edge treatment is desired.

Manufactured with Freud’s carbide-tipped cutting edges, the 34-106 provides long-lasting performance, clean cuts, and reliable results across hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composite materials. The integrated bearing guide follows the workpiece edge for smooth operation and helps produce consistent results with minimal setup.

FEATURES:

• 5/32 in. radius profile: Creates a small, smooth round-over that softens edges while maintaining the original shape and character of the workpiece.
• Carbide-tipped cutters: Provide durability, sharp cutting performance, and extended bit life for repeated woodworking applications.
• Bearing-guided design: Allows the bit to follow the edge of the material for accurate, consistent routing without requiring a fence.
• Versatile material compatibility: Cuts hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite materials.
• 1/4 in. shank: Compatible with routers equipped with a 1/4 in. collet, including many compact and trim routers.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Radius: 5/32 in.
• Cut Diameter: 13/16 in.
• Shank Diameter: 1/4 in.
• Cutting Height: 1/2 in.
• Bearing Included: Yes

APPLICATIONS:

The Freud 34-106 Round Over Router Bit is designed for creating smooth, comfortable edges and decorative details on a variety of woodworking projects. Common applications include:

• Furniture edges on tables, desks, shelves, and cabinets
• Cabinet doors and drawer fronts
• Decorative trim and molding details
• Softening exposed plywood and hardwood edges
• General-purpose edge finishing for woodworking projects

The 13/16 in. cutting diameter creates a noticeable rounded profile while maintaining a compact cutting size for controlled routing. This makes the bit a great option for woodworkers who want more than a simple edge break but do not need the larger, more pronounced look of heavy round-over profiles.

COMPATIBILITY:

• Fits routers with a standard 1/4 in. collet.
• Can be used in handheld routers or router tables when operated within recommended speed and feed limits.
• Best results are achieved by making multiple light passes rather than removing the full profile in a single cut.

BUYING TIP:

When selecting a Freud round-over bit, consider the size of the radius you want to create:

• 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. radius bits: Ideal for subtle edge softening and small decorative details.
• 5/32 in. radius (this model): Provides a balanced profile that adds a finished appearance without overpowering the design.
• Larger radius bits: Create a more dramatic rounded edge for furniture and architectural details.

The Freud 34-106 Round Over Router Bit is a dependable choice for woodworkers looking to add clean, smooth, and professional edge details to everyday projects while maintaining excellent control and precision.
