Freud 42-116: 1/2 (Dia.) Bearing Flush Trim Bit

Freud makes a good quality bit for the money

This is a great tool for making flush trimming simple. Must have for anyone with overhangs.

It got the job done perfectly!

This bit works with 1/2 collect. It is large enough to trim 1 1/2 in countertop. Worked great!

Unbelievable precision, makes routing fun. I am a true believer in Freud now, after going through a few of the cheaper options on amazon, I gave this one a try and will never go back. I used this bit to make a straight edge on 1.5 inch thick slab , and I have to say it was the sharpest edge Ive ever seen. It easily handled itself even when I tested it with a good 1/4inch edge over bottom guide. It was so smooth that I barely had to secure the bottom guide slab, which often required several clamps when I used inferior bits.

Proven product

I used this with a Craftsman Professional Router. I needed to trim the end of a 1 and 1/2 butcherblock countertop to fit the wall. I hogged off the material needed and the bit left a nice flush cut. Well worth the price.

It doesnt live a smooth surface

As advertised

Ive been using this on a Bosch router table to put a straight edge on my lumber. Once I got the router table set up perfectly I used this to plane about 400 linear feet of various grades of lumber. I then took the router off the table and used this to cut out an undermount sink in a 1 1/2 oak butcher block counter top. That really pushed this bit to its max, but it gave me a great finish. You need a decent router to get the most out of this and the other Freud bits.
