Precision Trimming for Professional Solid Surface Sink Installations

Achieve flawless results when installing under-mount sinks and bowls with the Freud 85-245 Overhang Cutout Router Bit. Designed specifically for the fabrication of solid surface materials such as Corian®, Wilsonart®, and Avonite®, this industrial-grade tool is essential for the initial "roughing" stage of sink cutouts. By removing the bulk of the countertop overhang while leaving a consistent 1/8-inch lip, this bit prepares the edge perfectly for final profiling with Round Over, Ogee, or Bull Nose bits. This two-step process significantly extends the life of your profiling bits and ensures a cleaner, smoother final finish.

The 85-245 is engineered with Freud's exclusive high-density carbide formulation, ensuring it stays sharp longer even when cutting abrasive synthetic materials. It features a specialized non-marring synthetic bearing with a 5-degree bevel, which is designed to ride smoothly against the side of the sink bowl without leaving scratches, burn marks, or imperfections. The robust 1/2-inch shank provides maximum stability and reduced vibration in hand-held routers, giving fabricators the control needed for precise, high-value installations.

Key Features

  • Surface Protection: Equipped with a synthetic, non-marring bearing that glides along the bowl without scratching finished surfaces.
  • Optimized Geometry: Leaves exactly 1/8" of overhang, creating the ideal setup for final decorative edge profiling.
  • Beveled Bearing Design: Features a 5-degree bevel on the bearing to match the slope of standard sink bowls for consistent tracking.
  • Extended Tool Life: Using this bit to remove bulk material reduces stress on expensive profiling bits, preventing premature dulling.
  • Premium Carbide: TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide is specially formulated to cut solid surface materials, composites, and plastics.
  • Stable Operation: A heavy-duty 1/2-inch shank minimizes chatter and vibration during hand-held routing applications.

Pro-Tip: Before running this bit, ensure that your sink bowl is securely bonded to the countertop material. Because this bit rides on the bowl itself as a guide, any movement in the bowl during the cut can result in an uneven overhang or damage to the workpiece.
