Description

Master Your Laminate Finishes with One Versatile Router Bit

Streamline your workflow and achieve professional results with the Freud 41-402 7/8" Flush and 45-Degree Bevel Trim Router Bit. This ingenious multipurpose tool eliminates the need to constantly switch bits during laminate installation. By utilizing two interchangeable ball bearings included with the bit, you can switch effortlessly between creating a perfectly square flush trim and a smooth 45-degree beveled edge. This versatility ensures uneven wear is spread across the cutting edge, significantly extending the life of the tool while delivering a clean, finished edge on plastic laminates with little to no filing required.

Engineered for durability and precision, this bit features Freud's industry-leading TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, ensuring a razor-sharp edge that withstands the abrasive nature of laminates and glues. The body is coated in Freud’s exclusive Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which minimizes friction and prevents the buildup of heat, rust, and pitch. Whether you are using a hand-held router, a table-mounted setup, or a specialized laminate trimmer, the 41-402 offers the stability and performance needed for high-volume cabinet making and countertop fabrication.

Pro-Tip: Laminate adhesive (contact cement) is notorious for building up on router bearings, which can cause them to seize and burn your workpiece. When switching bearings on this bit, take a moment to clean the bearing and the mounting post with a solvent to ensure smooth rotation and a flawless finish.
