Freud 99-036: 1-3/4 Inch Adjustable Tongue & Groove Bit Set | Precision Joinery

Freud 99-036 Adjustable Tongue & Groove Bit Set — Precision Joinery for Cabinets and Panels

The Freud 99-036 set is engineered to deliver clean, repeatable tongue and groove joints across a variety of materials. Designed for use with table-mounted portable routers, it offers a reliable blend of accuracy, durability, and long-term performance for woodworking enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Adjustability for perfect fits

Freud’s exclusive spacer system enables adjustments in 0.002-inch increments, accommodating stock thickness from 1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch and groove widths from 7/32 inch to 3/8 inch. This level of control helps you achieve consistent joints even when material tolerances vary between pieces.

• Diameter: 1-3/4 inch for both tongue and groove bits
• Shank: 1/2 inch
• Carbide height: 13/16 to 1-11/32 inches
• Opposing shear angles minimize chipping and tear-out

Coatings and carbide for longer tool life

Each bit is finished with Freud’s Silver I.C.E. coating, reducing heat buildup and pitch carry so you can work longer between sharpenings. The TiCo Hi-Density carbide provides durability that stands up to repeated use across projects, helping sustain performance over time.

What you can achieve

Use this set to craft precisely fitted tongue and groove joints in projects such as Shaker-style cabinet doors, panels, and other joinery where clean edges matter. The opposing shear angles support a smooth finish on both surfaces, contributing to a visually refined edge along the entire cut depth.

Materials and applications

These bits are designed to cut all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods. They pair well with table-mounted portable routers and are suitable for both professionals and hobbyists aiming for refined cabinet components or furniture panels.

• Versatile across softwoods, hardwoods, plywoods, and composites
• Ideal for cabinet doors and panel joinery requiring precise fits

Reliability you can rely on

Freud controls the entire process—from manufacturing to coating—across multiple facilities in Western Europe. The company emphasizes advanced carbide development and coatings to deliver consistent performance. The bits are backed by Freud’s limited lifetime warranty.
