Hand beading, fluting or reeding in hard or soft woods is an easy matter with the new Veritas® beading tool. Using standard cutters or one that you custom shape, you can put fine detail in furniture quickly and accurately.
Cutters are held against the body with a clamping bar and are adjustable for height and fence offset. The fence has two mounting locations to provide up to a 1" (25.4mm) blade offset and is positional to expose one of three bearing surfaces: flat for straight and convex applications, curved for slightly concave and waved edges, and bullnose for more complex profiles.
Both the fence and clamping bar are reversible for left- or right-hand use and to handle any grain direction. Cuts on the pull stroke only. The body, clamp bar and fence are precision-machined investment cast steel. The leading and trailing edges of the sole are radiused for smooth travel. The handles are African rosewood with brass fittings; the adjustable ball knob pivots 90° to allow varying grip.
Supplied with a 3/32" radius single-point cutter and five blank cutters. Weight - 550g.
