Description

Master the Art of Precision Joinery with the Freud 22-112 Dovetail Bit

The Freud 22-112 1/2" Dovetail Bit is the professional woodworker's essential tool for creating strong, traditional dovetail joints that are as attractive as they are durable. Engineered for precision, this bit is perfect for crafting drawers, jewelry boxes, and exposed furniture joints where structural integrity is paramount. Its 14-degree angle and 1/2-inch cutting diameter provide the classic geometry required for tight-fitting, high-end joinery that stands the test of time.

Forged from TiCo™ High-Density Carbide and protected by Freud’s exclusive Perma-SHIELD® non-stick coating, this bit is designed to run cooler and stay sharper significantly longer than standard bits. The advanced coating reduces blade drag and prevents pitch buildup, ensuring a mirror-smooth finish even when working with hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, or composites. Whether you are using a CNC machine, a table-mounted router, or a handheld unit with a popular dovetail jig, the Freud 22-112 delivers the splinter-free results needed for a factory-quality finish.

Key Features

  • Universal Jig Compatibility: Precision-balanced to work flawlessly with most popular dovetail jigs for consistent, repeatable joints.
  • TiCo™ High-Density Carbide: Specialized formulation provides a sharper edge and superior durability for industrial woodworking tasks.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Exclusive red coating resists heat, gumming, and corrosion to protect the bit and ensure smooth operation.
  • Multi-Material Performance: Effortlessly slices through hardwood, softwood, plywood, and various wood composites without tear-out.
  • High-Speed Stability: Precision-ground 1/2-inch shank ensures stability and accuracy at speeds up to 24,000 RPM.

Pro-Tip: To achieve a perfect "gap-free" dovetail joint, always perform a test cut on a scrap piece of wood of the exact same thickness. If the joint is too tight, slightly raise the bit; if it is too loose, slightly lower the bit in the router chuck.
