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

I use this bit when making tables and putting a radius on the corners of the table top. Works well, and no issues. Ive made about 6 tops with this specific bit and its still sharp and works well. (Walnut, Maple, Elm, Catalpa, Cedar, occasional pine) (Catalpa end tables and small pine top shown in pics) I rarely have any issues with this manufacture..

Definitely a good investment for the price. Cuts great and quality is good

Good bit. Works great for flush cutting plywood in situations where you dont want to burn where the guide rubs. Like all Freud bits, came with quality carbide and a smooth bearing

I own dozens of Freud router bits and this is the first one I’ve ever been disappointed with. The bearing diameter and the cutter diameter don’t match. The bearing is a little bigger so you end up with a 1/64” lip. On a shorter bit the lip wouldn’t be such a big deal but I needed almost the full two inches so it took quite a bit of sanding to flush the two end grain faces. On the bright side the bit was sharp and cut great.

The quality and accuracy of this bit is what you expect from Freud. This is a precision tool that does its job as advertised. Thank you Freud for continuing to produce excellent bits and blades at a price that the average home woodworker can afford without giving up quality.

The router bit is fine. Very good value for the prices. Getting the packaging open was a bit of a challenge. The secret bing that you need to cut the label that covers up the separation seam.

Quality router it. Smooth bearing.

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.

Perfect for repeating pattern work .

Works well but hard to use such a long bit
