Freud Tool flush trimming bit is a straight mortising router bit designed for trimming laminate counter tops and doing pattern work, so it handles common countertop and template jobs in one tool. The trimming cutout bearing flush trim design keeps cuts aligned to the guide surface, which helps maintain consistent profiles when working along countertop edges or patterns. A 1/2 inch diameter cutting profile balances control and material removal, which supports clean trimming without feeling bulky in handheld or table-mounted routers. The 4-3/8 inch overall length gives reach for typical laminate build-ups and pattern depths, which helps when following taller edges or stacked templates. As part of Freud Tool router bits, this bit fits into a broader cutting setup for woodworking shops that handle composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods on a regular basis.
This router bit is part of the straight mortising category, so its geometry is suited to straight, guided paths that matter in flush trimming and pattern routing. Use on portable or table-mounted routers means the same 42-116 router bit can stay in the workflow whether the job is done on-site or at a bench station, which helps maintain consistency between shop-prepped parts and field modifications. When trimming laminate counter tops, the bearing-guided flush trim layout lets the cutting edges follow the countertop substrate, which helps keep the laminate edge true to the core. During pattern work, the bearing tracks along the template or guide surface so the actual workpiece inherits the shape of the pattern, supporting repeatable shapes using the same cutter settings across multiple parts.
The primary application of trimming laminate counter tops means this bit fits the common sequence of bonding laminate and then trimming back overhangs, which keeps the laminate flush with the base panel for a finished edge. In that role, the trimming cutout bearing flush trim layout lets the installer run the bearing along the substrate, so the cutting edge removes only the laminate that extends beyond the core for predictable results. When the same bit is put to doing pattern work, the bearing follows a template or jig, so each pass produces a workpiece that matches the layout pattern, useful for repeated shapes or parts. The classification under router bits in the bits, blades and cutters group keeps this tool aligned with other shop cutting tools, which supports organized setups around laminate and pattern-routing stations.
The two flutes that provide faster cutting help when straight laminate runs or repetitive template passes demand productivity, because the cutter clears chips efficiently along the path. Where surface quality is critical, three flutes yield a superior finish, so the bit can be chosen or swapped to prioritize cleaner edges on exposed laminate or wood. Because it cuts all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, one trimming cutout bearing bit can stay in the collet through varied tasks, from countertop laminate to plywood jig edges to softwood patterns. The use on portable or table-mounted routers means the same profile and behavior carry from bench routing to on-site trimming, which reduces setup variation between different stations. As a Freud Tool router bit identified by manufacturer part 42-116, it connects directly to catalog and inventory references, helping shops tie routing processes to a specific, repeatable cutting tool.
The bit is designed for trimming laminate counter tops and doing pattern work, so it covers both countertop edge cleanup and template-guided routing tasks.
The bit cuts all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, allowing one cutter to move between common sheet goods and solid wood in the same shop.
Two flutes provide faster cutting for productivity, while three flutes yield a superior finish, helping balance throughput against edge quality on visible surfaces.
The bit is specified for doing pattern work, so its bearing-guided design follows templates, transferring the pattern shape accurately to each workpiece.
It is used on portable or table-mounted routers, so it fits both bench routing setups and on-site trimming work without changing to a different bit style.
The manufacturer part 42-116 uniquely identifies this Freud router bit, which simplifies reordering the exact same trimming and pattern bit when stock runs low.
The Freud Tool flush trimming bit with 1/2 inch diameter and 4-3/8 inch length is built for trimming laminate counter tops and doing pattern work, so it fits routine countertop and template tasks. Its ability to cut all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods gives one-bit versatility across common shop projects. Two- and three-flute options let routing setups balance speed and finish expectations. For woodworking operations that rely on portable or table-mounted routers, adopting the 42-116 router bit from Wurth Baer Supply ties daily laminate and pattern workflows to a consistent, cataloged cutter.
