FTRB14 2-Flute Flush Trim Router Bit, 1/2 Inch Shank, 18mm Dia x 25mm Cut, 12.7mm Bearing Applications

Use this flush trim router bit when the project needs a controlled cut rather than a rough material-removal pass. It can support cabinet doors, drawer fronts, panels, trim pieces, furniture components, jigs or decorative woodworking details depending on the profile and setup.

How to Choose the Right Setup

• Confirm bearing position, cutting length, cutting diameter, shank size, flute count, template thickness, work material and the amount of overhang to remove.
• Match the shank to the router collet and confirm the bearing can follow the template, pattern or finished edge without rubbing the workpiece incorrectly.
• Check the work material, including hardwood, softwood, MDF, plywood, laminate, veneer and edge-banded panels.
• Make a light test trim to confirm bearing tracking, cutter height, edge quality and chip direction before routing finished parts.

Use and Maintenance Tips

Rough-cut close to the line before flush trimming so the bit removes only a small amount of material. Use steady feed pressure, keep the bearing clean and support the template firmly to avoid chatter or stepped edges.
