Simple Edge Beading Tool

Here's a simple home made edge beading tool I made. I used the scrap plug leftover from making a hole with my hole saw.
I used a slotted flathead brass screw. Top of screw head was filed to produce a sharp edge. Similar to my home made mortise gauge
I set the screw to produce the size bead that I want and continously cut a line until the screw shaft stops the cut. It helps to face the screw slot vertically facing down. It cuts better. 

Then I stick the edge of a piece of 150 grit sandpaper into the cut shot, fold it over, and sand 3 - 5 passes full length until a complete bead is formed. 

Here's the finished edge bead.


Thanks for looking!

Another continuously variable, micro-adjustable woodworking jig. Two thumbs up - 👍👍
I really enjoy reading and seeing all your various projects.
Is there a reason you are using a brass screw instead of a steel one?  Just wondering if a steel screw might cut better?
