Freud Convex Router Bit 99-019 1/2 Inch Shank (39/64 Radius Bullnose Edge Shaping Drawer Pull Shelf Handhold Woodworking Milling Tool Unit)

Freud 99-019 39/64" Radius Convex Edge Bullnose Router Bit

The Freud 99-019 39/64-inch radius convex edge router bit shapes smooth bullnose contours, ergonomic handholds, and recessed drawer pulls across hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and wood composites. Engineered with premium micro-grain carbide cutters, a 1-5/8-inch carbide height, and a downshear cutting geometry that eliminates surface splintering, this 1/2-inch shank bit operates safely up to 24,000 maximum RPM. Outfitted with Freud's heat-reducing Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating to resist pitch and resin buildup, it equips cabinetmakers, furniture builders, and CNC machinists with glass-smooth, ready-to-finish edge profiling performance.

Best Used For:

• Cabinet Drawer Pulls and Recessed Handholds: Routing comfortable, integrated finger-pull grooves into solid wood cabinet doors, drawer faces, and wooden totes.
• Bullnose Shelf and Tabletop Edge Shaping: Milling elegant, rounded 39/64-inch convex radius margins on solid hardwood bookshelves and furniture tops.
• CNC and Table-Mounted Plunge Profiling: Executing smooth internal cutouts, pass-through slots, and decorative molding channels without tear-out.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Convex Bullnose Profile: Mills a sweeping 39/64-inch radius curve for ergonomic handgrips and smooth decorative edges.
• Downshear Cutting Angle: Directs cutting forces downward into the workpiece to ensure clean, tear-free top surface edges.
• Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Coating: Proprietary thermal barrier prevents pitch and resin buildup while keeping the cutter cooler during heavy passes.
• TiCo High-Density Carbide: Custom micro-grain carbide tips maintain razor sharpness and resist abrasion across dense hardwoods.
• Heavy-Duty 1/2-Inch Shank: Precision-ground steel shank provides superior rotational stability and minimizes vibration up to 24,000 RPM.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When routing deep integrated handholds or drawer finger pulls, make multiple shallow passes along a sturdy fence or template guide rather than removing all material at once; this keeps the cut cool and leaves a burn-free edge.
