Freud 99-031 1-1/2 Inch Carbide Reversible Glue Joint Router Bit 1/2 Inch Shank Perma-SHIELD Coating for Edge Gluing Hardwood Softwood CNC Table Mount

Create Indestructible Edge-to-Edge Bonds with the Freud 99-031 Reversible Glue Joint Bit

The Freud 99-031 Reversible Glue Joint Bit is the professional woodworker's secret to seamless, high-strength edge-gluing applications. By significantly increasing the surface area for adhesive contact, this bit creates a mechanical bond that is far superior to standard butt joints. Engineered for precision, it allows you to plane boards to a uniform thickness, align the bit to the center, and simply reverse each alternating board for a perfectly interlocking fit. It is the definitive choice for crafting high-end raised panels, drawer fronts, and expansive table tops where joint integrity is non-negotiable.

Forged from TiCo™ High-Density Carbide, this bit is designed to handle hardwoods, softwoods, and composite materials with ease. It features Freud’s exclusive Perma-SHIELD® non-stick coating, which reduces blade drag, prevents pitch build-up, and protects the tool from corrosion and heat. Whether you are using a CNC machine or a table-mounted router, the computer-balanced design ensures vibration-free operation at high speeds, leaving a mirror-smooth finish that requires minimal sanding before glue-up.

Key Features

• Maximum Glue Surface: Unique profile maximizes glue adhesion area for joints that are stronger than the wood itself.
• TiCo™ High-Density Carbide: Specialized formulation provides a sharper edge and significantly longer cutting life.
• Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating resists heat, gumming, and corrosion for consistent performance.
• Precision Balance: Computer-balanced to eliminate vibration and chatter, ensuring surgical accuracy in every pass.
• Reversible Versatility: One-bit system simplifies the joining process—just center the bit and flip your boards.
• Multi-Machine Compatible: Optimized for use in CNC, table-mounted routers, and automatic shapers.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: To achieve a perfect "light-tight" joint, always perform a test cut on scrap wood of the exact same thickness as your project. Once the bit is perfectly centered, use a featherboard to maintain consistent pressure against the router fence for a flawless glue-up.
