Freud 20-574 1-1/8 Inch Lettering Router Bit 60 Degree 1/2 Inch Shank CNC Sign Making Relief Carving Flat Bottom Perma-SHIELD Carbide

Achieve Professional Relief Lettering with Freud's 60-Degree Flat Bottom Sign Making Bit

Create stunning raised-letter signs and intricate relief carvings with the Freud 20-574 1-1/8 Inch Lettering Router Bit. Unlike standard V-groove bits, this specialized tool features a flattened end profile. This unique geometry allows you to rout out the background material while simultaneously creating a clean, beveled 60-degree edge around your letters. This dual-action design significantly speeds up the sign-making process, ensuring highly readable, sharp relief lettering without the need for multiple tool changes to clear large flat areas.

Engineered for precision and durability, the 20-574 is crafted with Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, capable of holding a razor-sharp edge in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites. The bit is encased in Freud's signature Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which drastically reduces friction, heat buildup, and resin accumulation—critical factors when routing large surface areas. With a robust 1/2-inch shank for maximum stability, this bit delivers flawless, chatter-free results whether you are running a production CNC machine or using a hand-held or table-mounted router.
