Freud Router Bits are known for their exceptional quality, unmatched precision and maximum cutting life. The bits are carefully crafted using the best materials, the industry's most sophisticated manufacturing processes, and include exclusive Freud features such as TiCo Hi-Density Carbide and red Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating. Freud's bits also contain revolutionary, innovative designs such as Quadra-Cut and Double-Grind.

TiCo Hi-Density carbide is a specially formulated, highly compact Titanium Cobalt Carbide engineered and manufactured by Freud to maximize performance on all Freud cutting tools. Designed in Freud research and development laboratories, Freud's TiCo Hi-Density carbide is scientifically developed using Titanium Carbide, Cobalt and Tungsten (as well as proprietary elements), to produce a supreme product. Carbide size is extremely important when it comes to sharpness as well as the rate at which an edge wears. The larger the carbide grain, the faster an edge will wear. While standard carbides measure as large as 5 microns, and an advanced micrograin carbide can measure 1 micron, Freud's TiCo Hi-Density Carbide is miniscule in comparison at 0.8 microns, with a laminate blend as small as 0.4 microns.

Product Description

Product Description

1/2" (dia.) Bearing Flush Trim Bit with 1/4" shank, 3 flutes

Amazon.com

The Freud 1/2-Inch Bearing Flush Trim Bit is ideal for trimming cabinet laminate as well as pattern work. This set includes two flute bits for faster cutting and three flute bits for a superior surface finish. These precision ground carbide bits have a grain size smaller than other grades, and titanium is added, making them impervious to chemical attack. Safety features include an anti-kickback design. The bits are computer balanced to insure vibration-free operation at speeds that are a safe margin above the typical 22,000 RPMs of most routers. The overall diameter is 1/2 inch, the carbide height is 1 inch, and the shank diameter is 1/4 inch. For use with hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, this bit cuts all composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and soft wood.
