0.187-Inch Bead Radius
The verified profile uses a 0.187-inch radius to create a defined decorative bead form.


A Vortex Tool Series 3700 solid-carbide beading bit designed to cut decorative bead profiles in a wide variety of materials. The verified 3760 configuration combines a 0.187-inch radius, 0.110-inch small diameter, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length.
This Series 3700 solid-carbide profile tool is designed to form a decorative bead using a verified 0.187-inch radius and 0.110-inch small diameter. Vortex lists the beading-bit family for decorative profiling across a wide variety of materials.
Designed for compatible CNC routers and routing systems using a precision 1/2-inch collet or holder. Confirm machine clearance for the 3-inch overall length and verify the programmed toolpath, profile orientation, cutting direction, workholding, and material suitability before production.
The Vortex Tool 3760 is a Series 3700 solid-carbide beading bit for producing decorative bead profiles. Its profile is defined by a 0.187-inch radius and a 0.110-inch small diameter.
Vortex describes its solid-carbide beading bits as tools for cutting decorative beads in a wide variety of materials. The profile geometry supports repeatable decorative routing when the toolpath, depth, orientation, and workpiece support are correctly established.
The exact 3760 configuration uses a 1/2-inch shank and has a 3-inch overall length. Proper collet condition, shank engagement, spindle runout, tool projection, feed rate, spindle speed, workholding, and chip evacuation remain essential to profile quality and tool service life.
Technical Specifications
The verified profile uses a 0.187-inch radius to create a defined decorative bead form.
The active cutting tool is solid carbide and routes to Titan’s solid-carbide material image and tooling classification.
A 0.110-inch small diameter, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length define the exact 3760 configuration.
Install the 1/2-inch shank in a clean, undamaged precision collet or compatible holder with adequate engagement and safe tool projection. Verify spindle runout, machine clearance for the 3-inch overall length, profile orientation, programmed cutting direction, toolpath depth, feed rate, spindle speed, workholding, chip evacuation, and workpiece compatibility before production. The manufacturer does not publish a flute count or bearing specification for SKU 3760; do not assume either from another Series 3700 variant.
Vortex Tool 3760 combines solid-carbide construction with a 0.187-inch bead radius, 0.110-inch small diameter, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length for decorative profile routing.
Accurate toolpath geometry, correct cutting depth, low runout, secure workholding, suitable cutting parameters, and effective chip evacuation are essential to achieving a clean, repeatable bead profile.
