Freud 85-300 1-1/8-Inch Diameter 12.5-Degree Solid Surface Repair & Bowl Removal Router Bit

The Freud 85-300 1-1/8-Inch Diameter 12.5-Degree Solid Surface Repair & Bowl Removal Router Bit is a specialty countertop fabrication tool engineered to separate undermount sink bowls, trim flush joint seams, and rout damaged composite sections. Operating at rotational speeds up to 18,000 RPM with a 1/2-inch shank, 1-inch carbide height, and 3-inch overall length, this 1-1/8-inch diameter dual-flute bit utilizes TiCo hi-density carbide cutters and a Perma-SHIELD non-stick thermal coating. Compatible with handheld portable routers, this 12.5-degree angle repair bit solves cracked seam joints, damaged solid surface countertop patches, and difficult sink bowl separation challenges across commercial Corian, Avonite, and composite acrylic top restorations.

Best Used For:

• Solid Surface Joint & Patch Repairs: Routing out damaged countertop sections and seam gaps to accept matching solid surface repair plugs and inlay strips.
• Handheld Portable Router Trimming: Executing controlled, low-vibration bevel trimming passes directly on job sites using 1/2-inch collet routers.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• 12.5-Degree Precision Bevel Clearance Angle: Provides exact edge relief required for clean separation of fused sink bowl flanges and countertop joints.
• TiCo Hi-Density Micro-Grain Carbide Cutters: High-grade titanium-cobalt carbide formulation withstands high frictional heat from cutting dense acrylics and polyester resins.
• 18,000 RPM Maximum Speed Rating: Precision-balanced dual-flute cutter body runs vibration-free in high-speed handheld routers.
• Perma-SHIELD Thermal Non-Stick Coating: Protective red fluoropolymer coating prevents seaming adhesive buildup, pitch adhesion, and cutter drag.
