Craft Classic, Strong Dovetail Joints with Freud's Precision 3/8-Inch Router Bit

Achieve the perfect blend of strength and aesthetics in your cabinetry projects with the Freud 22-102 3/8-Inch Dovetail Router Bit. Featuring a 9-degree cutting angle, this bit is expertly designed for creating clean, interlocking joints in drawers, jewelry boxes, and exposed furniture features. Whether you are using a commercial dovetail jig or routing freehand, the 22-102 delivers smooth, intricate cuts in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites. It is the ideal choice for woodworkers looking to produce joints that are not only structurally superior but also visually striking.

Built for professional reliability, the 22-102 is engineered with Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide to ensure a razor-sharp edge that withstands the rigors of daily shop use. The bit is fully coated with Freud's signature Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, a high-performance thermal barrier that drastically reduces friction, heat buildup, and pitch accumulation, preventing burns on sensitive hardwoods. With a standard 1/4-inch shank and a precision-balanced design rated for 24,000 RPM, this versatile tool performs flawlessly in CNC machines, as well as hand-held and table-mounted routers.

Pro-Tip: The 9-degree angle is a versatile middle ground for dovetails. If you are routing through-dovetails where the end grain is exposed, sanding can sometimes alter the fit. To avoid a loose joint later, make your cuts just a hair tighter (raise the bit slightly less than full depth) to account for final sanding and finishing.
