Freud 2-3/4in Lock Miter Bit with 1/2in Shank — TiCo Carbide for Strong, Precise Joints

Freud 2-3/4in Lock Miter Bit: Precision for Locking Joints

Freud delivers a high-performance lock miter bit designed to create robust interlocking joints with ease. The TiCo Hi-Density carbide, reinforced with titanium, is engineered for extended cutting life across hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composites. This bit emphasizes consistent results and cleaner edges, even on dense materials.

Engineered for stability, the bit is computer-balanced to reduce vibration and deliver smooth cuts at practical speeds well above standard router ranges. The Perma-Shield coating adds a layer of protection against chemical wear, helping maintain edge quality over time. An anti-kickback design contributes to safer operation in a busy workshop environment.
