Master Traditional Joinery with Freud’s Precision Dovetail Router Bits

The Freud 22-123 5/16" Dovetail Router Bit is the definitive choice for woodworkers seeking to create exceptionally strong and visually stunning joints for drawers, jewelry boxes, and exposed furniture projects. Designed with an 8-degree angle, this bit is specifically engineered to produce the intricate, interlocking joints that have been a hallmark of quality craftsmanship for centuries. Whether you are a professional cabinet maker or a dedicated hobbyist, this bit ensures that every cut is clean, accurate, and ready for a perfect friction fit.

What sets the Freud 22-123 apart is its industrial-grade construction featuring TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide and a protective Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating. This advanced coating drastically reduces friction and heat buildup, preventing the resin gumming and corrosion that can lead to bit failure. Precision-ground and computer-balanced, this bit delivers vibration-free operation even at high speeds, making it ideal for use in CNC machines, hand-held routers, and table-mounted setups.
