Master the Art of Decorative Joinery with Freud’s Industrial Butterfly Spline Technology

The Freud 24-106 Butterfly Spline Router Bit is the ultimate solution for woodworkers looking to transform structural joinery into a stunning design feature. By making two passes with this bit, you can create the elegant, concave butterfly spline profile from your choice of hardwood or softwood to perfectly match or contrast your project. This bit is specifically engineered to work in tandem with a 14-degree dovetail bit to produce flawless mating grooves, resulting in high-strength, exposed joints that showcase true craftsmanship.

Constructed with Freud’s industrial-grade carbide and a robust 1/2-inch shank, this bit ensures maximum stability and precision during heavy material removal. The cutting edges are treated with Freud’s signature red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which effectively reduces friction, prevents heat buildup, and resists resin accumulation to extend the life of the bit. For the absolute best results and safest operation, this specialized bit is optimized for use in table-mounted routers or CNC machines, providing the control needed for intricate spline production.

Pro-Tip: When producing splines, always use a "zero-clearance" setup or a sacrificial backer board on your router table's fence. This bit removes a significant amount of material, and a backer board will prevent tear-out at the end of the cut, ensuring your butterfly splines have crisp, sharp edges for a seamless fit.
