Freud 50-118 Top Bearing Flush Trim Router Bit, 3/4 in Dia, 1/2 in Shank

The Freud 50-118 Top Bearing Flush Trim Router Bit is engineered for precise template and pattern routing, delivering clean, professional edges on a variety of materials. With a 3/4" diameter and a 1/2" shank, this bit combines robust cutting geometry with smooth guidance along the workpiece edge for consistent results whether you’re tracing signs, patterns, or decorative shapes.

Why it shines in real-world use

Designed for top-mounted bearing guidance, it excels when the pattern sits above the workpiece. The result is confident control through curves and straight runs, producing a true flush trim that’s ready for finishing. The TiCo Hi-Density Carbide construction keeps a sharp edge over time, making it suitable for repeated sessions on hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composite materials.

The bit’s two-cutter configuration increases material removal efficiency, helping you move faster without sacrificing edge quality. Paired with a maximum speed of 24,000 RPM, it maintains smooth cuts even through complex profiles, making it a reliable choice for both hand-held routers and table-mounted setups.
