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

Perfect for repeating pattern work .

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..

Great cuts, clean and stays sharp.

It doesnt live a smooth surface

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.

More expensive than many competitors but very reliable quality.

Excellent bit. Very sharp. No tear out in soft or hard wood as long as dont rush it. Makes duplicating parts in 3/4 stock a breeze. Clamp 2 pieces together along with a 1/4 template and knock out two at a time.

The product arrived in a timely manner. It has performed well and I am pleased with the tool.

Works well but hard to use such a long bit

Its a really long bit, so vibration is hard to manage, but, surprisingly, it works really well. I use it as a poor mans jointer and it works well.
