Vortex Tool Series 3700 Solid-Carbide Beading Bit, 0.187 in Radius, 1/2 in Shank
Solid-Carbide Beading
Profile Bit
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.
Main Product Description
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.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
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.
Decorative Bead Profile Control
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.
