Create Strong, Flawless Joinery with the Freud 32-098 Precision Rabbeting Bit

The Freud 32-098 1-1/4" Rabbeting Router Bit is an essential, versatile solution for professional woodworkers and cabinetmakers looking to create strong lap joints and precise recesses. This bit is specifically engineered to deliver super-smooth cuts on both surfaces of the rabbet, making it ideal for letting in back panels on cabinetry or creating sophisticated details on built-up moldings. Whether you are working on high-end furniture or everyday shop projects, this bit provides the precision needed for a perfect friction fit every time.

Constructed with TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide and protected by a non-stick Perma-SHIELD® Coating, the 32-098 is built to withstand the rigors of high-production environments. The specialized red coating protects the bit from heat collection, corrosion, and resin buildup, ensuring a longer tool life and a cooler cutting edge. For added versatility, the steel pilot bearing can be removed, allowing the bit to be used with edge guides for creating custom, wider rabbets in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, and abrasive composites.

  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating reduces blade drag and prevents heat collection.
