Freud Router Bit 19-126 1/4 Inch Radius Dish Carving Tool (1/2 Inch Shank 3/4 Inch Diameter TiCo Carbide Perma-SHIELD 24000 RPM Trays Bowls Signs)

Freud 19-126 1/4 Inch Radius Dish Carving Router Bit

The Freud 19-126 is a 3/4-inch overall diameter dish carving router bit engineered to rout flat-bottom recessed cavities with smooth 1/4-inch radius corner transitions in wooden trays, bowls, coasters, and raised-letter signs. Built with a 1/2-inch shank and specialized flat-bottom plunge teeth, this 2-cutter tool rapidly removes internal stock while leaving a glass-smooth floor that minimizes post-routing sanding. Tipped with TiCo™ Hi-Density Micrograin Carbide and protected by a heat-resistant Perma-SHIELD® non-stick coating, it operates at speeds up to 24,000 RPM across solid hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composites in CNC machinery, handheld routers, or router tables.

Best Used For:

• Wooden Tray & Serving Board Milling: Hogging out recessed food cavities and catch-all trays in hardwood stock with smooth bottom surfaces.
• Wooden Bowl & Coaster Fabrication: Plunging circular interior cavities and dished centers into solid wood block blanks.
• Custom Sign & Lettering Relief Carving: Clearing flat background areas on raised-letter wooden signs and decorative wall plaques.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Flat-Bottom Dishing Geometry: Bottom-cutting carbide teeth carve level interior surfaces with smooth 1/4-inch radiused side transitions.
• TiCo™ Hi-Density Micrograin Carbide: Proprietary industrial carbide formula maintains sharp cutting edges significantly longer than standard carbide.
• Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating: Protective red fluoropolymer coating resists pitch buildup, resin accumulation, and friction heat.
• Kickback-Reducing Safety Design: Computer-balanced body geometry restricts bite depth per revolution to prevent cutter binding and kickback.
• Rigid 1/2-Inch Steel Shank: Heavy-gauge shank diameter reduces vibration and chatter during deep material removal passes.
• Multi-Machine Compatibility: Engineered for stable, high-precision routing in CNC machinery, portable handheld routers, and router tables.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When clearing large deep cavities for serving trays or bowls, make overlapping raster passes taking 1/4-inch depth steps; leaving 1/32 inch of material for a final high-speed cleanup pass yields a burn-free, glassy floor that reduces hand-sanding time.
