Durability meets advanced technology with Freud’s exclusive TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide tips. This specialized micrograin formula stays sharper longer than standard carbide, providing clean, burn-free cuts in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and abrasive composites. To further enhance performance, the bit is finished with a vibrant red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating. This coating significantly reduces friction and heat buildup while preventing the accumulation of resin and pitch—ensuring your tool runs cooler and lasts longer. Perfectly balanced for hand-held or table-mounted routers, the 2-flute design provides the ideal balance between high-speed material removal and a superior surface finish.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: When flush trimming laminates, ensure the bearing is clean and spinning freely to avoid scratching the finished surface. If you are trimming thick stock, make multiple passes rather than trying to remove all the material at once; this reduces strain on the 1/4" shank and provides a much smoother final edge with zero burning.
