Craft Heirloom-Quality Joinery with the Freud 22-122 Carbide Dovetail Router Bit

The Freud 22-122 1/2" Dovetail Bit is the professional woodworker's choice for creating strong, stunning dovetail joints in drawers, boxes, and exposed furniture. Engineered with TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, this bit is designed to deliver a flawless finish and extended cutting life when routing hardwoods, softwoods, and composite materials. Its precision-ground edges and 8-degree angle provide the exact geometry needed for intricate joinery that stands the test of time.

This high-performance bit features Freud’s exclusive Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which reduces blade drag and protects the tool from heat, corrosion, and pitch build-up. Whether you are using a CNC machine, a table-mounted router, or a handheld router with a popular dovetail jig, the computer-balanced design ensures vibration-free operation at high speeds. This versatility makes it an essential accessory for any shop focused on cabinetry and fine furniture making.

Key Features

  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Specialized titanium-cobalt carbide formulation for maximum durability and a superior finish.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick coating minimizes friction and heat, extending the life of the bit and your router motor.
  • Anti-Kickback Design: Committed to safety, Freud’s design promotes safer routing by limiting the depth of cut.

Pro-Tip: To prevent "tear-out" on your dovetail joints, always use a sacrificial "backer board" behind your workpiece. This supports the wood fibers as the bit exits the cut, ensuring a crisp, clean edge on both sides of the joint.
