Craft Delicate, Indestructible Joints with Freud's Precision 1/4-Inch Dovetail Bit

Create exquisite, traditional joinery in your finest woodworking projects with the Freud 22-100 1/4-Inch Dovetail Router Bit. Featuring a precise 7.5-degree cutting angle, this bit is engineered for crafting small, elegant dovetail joints found in jewelry boxes, humidors, and small drawers. Whether you are using a standard dovetail jig or routing freehand, this tool cuts clean, smooth, interlocking joints in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite materials, ensuring a fit that is both structurally sound and visually stunning.

Designed for professional durability, the 22-100 is tipped with Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, offering a sharper edge and significantly longer cutting life than standard bits. The body is coated with Freud's signature Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, a thermal barrier that reduces friction, prevents heat buildup, and resists pitch accumulation for burn-free cuts. With a standard 1/4-inch shank and a balanced design capable of speeds up to 24,000 RPM, this versatile bit delivers flawless results in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.

Pro-Tip: When cutting dovetails, especially in expensive hardwoods, "tear-out" is your biggest enemy. To prevent this, always use a "backer board"—a scrap piece of wood clamped behind your workpiece where the router bit exits the cut. This supports the wood fibers and ensures a crisp, clean edge on your tails and pins.
