Freud 99-037: 1-3/8 (Dia.) Finger Joint Bit with 1/2 Shank

Freud's precision ground carbide bits feature a grain size smaller than other grades, and the addition of titanium renders them impervious to chemical attack. The company's commitment to promoting safer woodworking led to the development of anti-kickback router bits. These bits are computer-balanced to ensure vibration-free operation at speeds safely above the typical 22,000 RPMs of most routers. Freud's philosophy is that woodworkers should expect safety, not have to pay extra for it.

The 1-3/8" (Dia.) Finger Joint Bit has an overall diameter of 1-3/8 inches and a 1/2-inch shank. Its specifications include a cut depth of 5/16", a minor height of 21/64", and two cutters. The overall length is 3 inches, and the carbide height is 1-9/16".

This versatile bit can be used to route strong joints in material up to 1-1/2 inches thick, whether the material is hardwood, softwood, or composites. It is suitable for use on CNC or table-mounted routers. The Freud Perma-SHIELD Coating further enhances the bit's performance and durability.

The ground carbide construction, combined with the addition of titanium, gives this bit a long life and makes it impervious to chemical attack. Its computer-balanced design ensures vibration-free operation at speeds well above the 22,000 RPM threshold of most routers, promoting safer woodworking.

Freud's commitment to safety is evident in the development of this anti-kickback router bit. By prioritizing woodworker safety, the company has created a tool that not only performs its intended function but also helps to mitigate the risks associated with router use. This aligns with Freud's philosophy that safety should be an expectation, not an added cost.

Overall, the 1-3/8" (Dia.) Finger Joint Bit from Freud is a robust and versatile tool that combines advanced materials, precision engineering, and a focus on safety. Whether working on CNC machines or table-mounted routers, woodworkers can rely on this bit to create strong, reliable joints in a wide range of materials while enjoying the peace of mind that comes with Freud's commitment to safe and efficient woodworking.
