Freud1/2" (dia.) Dovetail Bit with 1/4" shank, 1-7/8" overall length (22-104)

Can't go wrong with Freud.

Compared to other well branded cutters the carbide cutters were twice as thick reducing vibration. I use the blind dovetail joint for drawer boxes and after 20 large boxes it cut clean and smooth as a new cutter. Great quality

Have used it to make dovetail joints on some boxes I built. Seems like a good bit for the price.

Works as expected. Fast shipment. Great price. Thank you!

Used this to make raised garden beds that can come apart as well as added to. Very accurate.

Great bit. Very smooth cut with no burning. Works great in plywood, MDF, and hard woods.

In my shop, this is now the only bit that gets used with my aluminum dovetail template jig. I had previously purchased a different, lower end, yellow brand bit of the "same" parameters but could not get tight dovetail fit.Ordered this bit and am now able to create perfect fitting joints. Apparently the other bit was off by a few thou and was removing too much material.At this point, I have now built countless dovetail drawers using this bit it and it is still tearing through Hard Maple like the day I got it.Tried and tested. Freud makes some of the best router bits out there, hands down.This 1/2" SH x 3/4" D x 14° Dovetail Bit is another fine example of this.

I bought this bit to make these serving trays and it worked great. The operator error was the only problem 😊

Freud make excellent quality router bits. This is no exception.

He comprado varias brocas Freud, todas me han llegado en una cajita transparente con una tipografía característica de la marca. La fresa que recibí sin embargo, llegó en un blister y con una presentación rara, diferente a lo que siempre recibo.El empaque dice que tiene un ángulo de 18°, el cual corroboré con un transportador, pero revisando las especificaciones en la descripción de Amazon dice que la broca tiene un ángulo de 8°, el fabricante también lo menciona en su página. Puede tratarse de un error, es común que los títulos sean incorrectos, sin embargo consultado el catálogo de Freud no existe una fresa de 18°, tienen de 7°, 8°, 9°, 10° y 14° pero no tienen ninguna de 18°En resumen, debido al empaque extraño, las especificaciones que no coinciden con las del fabricante y que ni siquiera tiene en existencia otras variantes con ese ángulo creo firmemente que es una copia o una falsificación.Sean cuidadosos al comprarla.Saludos

What can be said about Freud. The company is a world leader in the woodworking realm. The quality of Freud products should not be questioned. All of the products in the Freud catalog have been and will continue to be the best products available on the market today. If by chance that a Freud product fails to live up to the lifetime guarantee, the exchange/refund process is painless as long as you have the receipt &/or invoice. While Freud tools & accessories carry premium prices, the cost is well worth it. Freud products are an investment most woodworkers will happily make, knowing that the tool(s) &/or accessories they bought will come with a lifetime warranty, will be of the best quality available & will perform flawlessly right out of the box.As for this particular router bit(s) I nicked myself while handling the bit, it drew a little blood, that is how sharp the cutting edges really are. After 2 hours of routing dovetails in softwood & hardwood (Cedar & Oak), the cuts were perfect, from the first to last dovetail, they were flawless. If anyone is looking for the best quality for router bits, Freud is the only way to go.

I needed a really good dovetail bit for some joinery work on a stereo cabinet. The bits that I had chattered and had some serious tearout issues when used with the admittedly poor quality Craftsman jig that I have. I chose the Freud because a more accomplished woodworker recommended them for consistency and quality of cut. He was absolutely right. The router did not have to work as hard and even with soft woods, the only time I got tearing was when I messed up. I have since bought other Freud blades and bits and have found them superb in every case.

I varied the depth about 10 times and never got a decent fit for half blind dovetails, they were always too loose. I threw my old Porter Cable 43776PC bit back in to confirm I wasnt crazy and it cut perfectly the first try. Im not sure if I was doing something wrong or if the bit just wasnt quite right. It always cut really nice but never did I get a decent fit with the jig. I bought a porter replacement and shelved this one, pretty disappointing.
