Achieve Flawless Edges with Industrial-Grade Flush Trimming Precision

Elevate the quality of your cabinetry and furniture projects with the Freud 42-108 1/2" Diameter Flush Trim Router Bit. Designed for the professional woodworker, this bit features a generous 1-inch cutting height, making it the perfect solution for trimming plastic laminates on countertops or flush-trimming thick hardwood edging on shelves and doors. The top-mounted ball bearing pilot glides smoothly along your template or substrate, ensuring that the cutting edge duplicates intricate shapes and profiles with exacting precision without burning or marring the workpiece.

Constructed for longevity and superior finish quality, the 42-108 is tipped with Freud’s exclusive TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide. This proprietary micrograin formula stays sharper up to four times longer than standard carbide, cutting cleanly through hardwood, softwood, plywood, and abrasive composites. The bit features a specialized 3/8" shank, providing a sturdy middle ground between standard sizes for specific collet setups. Protected by the signature Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, the tool resists heat buildup, corrosion, and pitch accumulation, guaranteeing smooth, chatter-free performance in both hand-held and table-mounted routers.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: This specific router bit features a 3/8" shank, which is less common than standard 1/4" or 1/2" shanks. Before purchasing, verify that your router has a 3/8" collet or adapter sleeve installed. Attempting to tighten a 1/2" collet down onto a 3/8" shank is dangerous and will not secure the bit properly.
