Freud 32-522 Depth Rabbeting Bit Set with Interchangeable Bearings – 1/2-Inch Shank

Overview

The Freud 32-522 Depth Rabbeting Bit Set is designed to elevate cabinetmaking, furniture building, and carpentry projects. With interchangeable bearings, you can achieve multiple rabbet depths using a single bit, enabling clean joints and precise back-panel insertions without frequent bit swaps.

Key benefits

• Depth options include 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", and 1/2" for flexible joinery.
• Two carbide cutters deliver smooth surfaces on both rabbet faces, reducing tear-out and post-cut work.
• Interchangeable bearings paired with a wrench let you change depths quickly and accurately.
• 1/2" shank fits a wide range of routers, with an overall diameter of 1-3/8" and length of 2-1/4" for stable performance.

Versatility and materials

• Cuts all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods with consistent results.
• Compatible with handheld and table-mounted routers, supporting diverse project setups.
• Can function as a flush-cutting trim bit when used with compatible Freud models (32-504, 32-524, 32-526).

Usage ideas

Ideal for joining boards, letting in back panels, or creating decorative shelves. Adjust depth to accommodate different panel thicknesses and edge profiles, then lock in a reliable rabbet with minimal rework. The combination of two cutters and bearing options helps streamline workflows without sacrificing accuracy.
