The cutting radius (R) is crucial as it determines the size and style of the bead or flute produced by the beading router bit. The best cutting radius depends on your project—smaller radii (like 1/16" or 3/32") are ideal for delicate, detailed profiles, while larger radii (like 1/2" or 1/4") create bolder, more prominent edges. Available options range from as small as 1/16" up to 1/2", allowing for versatility in design. For example, the Amana Tool 49592 offers a fine 1/16" radius for subtle accents, while the Amana Tool 49618 features a 1/2" radius for dramatic beading. A variety of cutting radii are available so you can select the ideal profile for your needs.
