Freud 85-298 3/4-Inch Overhang Trim Solid Surface Router Bit

The Freud 85-298 3/4-Inch Overhang Trim Solid Surface Router Bit is a professional composite fabrication tool engineered to flush-trim sink cutouts with a precise 1/8-inch overhang on Corian, granite composites, and acrylic solid surface countertops. Operating with a 1/2-inch shank and a non-marring synthetic pilot guide bearing, this dual-flute carbide-tipped bit ensures scratch-free template tracking across finished sink bowls. Designed for handheld portable routers, this overhang trim bit solves uneven sink-to-countertop reveals, edge chipping, and surface marring challenges across commercial kitchen and bath fabrication shops.

Best Used For:

  • Solid Surface Sink Cut-Out Overhang Trimming: Milling exact 1/8-inch overhang reveals along undermount sink bowl cutouts in Corian and composite acrylic countertops.
  • Composite Edge Flush Trimming: Trimming built-up edge strips and substrate overhangs flush to vertical panel faces without scratching finished surfaces.
  • Scratch-Free Handheld Template Routing: Guiding the router along finished composite templates using a non-marring synthetic polymer bearing.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Non-Marring Synthetic Pilot Bearing: Smooth polymer guide bearing glides safely against finished sink basin walls to prevent abrasive scratching and gouging.
  • Precision 1/8-Inch Overhang Geometry: Engineered specifically to leave a uniform 1/8-inch material overhang during sink cutout trimming operations.
  • Solid-Surface Formulated Carbide Cutters: High-density micrograin carbide edges resist thermal degradation from abrasive synthetic acrylic minerals and resins.
  • Heavy-Duty 1/2-Inch Steel Shank Core: Rigid shank diameter increases stability and neutralizes bit flexing during manual feed routing passes.
  • Dual-Flute Balanced Cutting Design: Dual-cutter arrangement ensures swift debris clearance and structural stability for clean, burn-free finishes.
