FAQs
What materials can this bit be used on?
This bit is suitable for use on both hardwood and softwood.
What is the purpose of the Perma-SHIELD coating?
The Perma-SHIELD coating is designed to reduce friction and heat buildup, preventing resin from sticking to the bit. This extends the bit's life and improves cutting performance.
Can this bit be used in a handheld router?
Yes, as long as the handheld router has a 1/2" shank collet. It is also compatible with table-mounted and CNC routers.
How do I clean the casing bit?
After use, clean the bit with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner or denatured alcohol to remove any wood residue or sap. Ensure the bit is dry before storing.
What is the overall length of the bit?
The overall length of this casing bit is 4 inches.
What is the cutting diameter of this bit?
The overall diameter of this casing bit is 1-5/8 inches.
Is this bit suitable for heavy stock removal?
This bit is primarily designed for milling decorative casing and fine details, not for heavy stock removal.
Troubleshooting
Rough cuts or burning
Ensure the bit is sharp and the Perma-SHIELD coating is intact. Check router speed and feed rate; a slower feed rate or reduced RPM may be necessary. Clean any resin buildup from the bit.
Bit vibrates during use
Verify the bit is securely tightened in the router collet. Ensure the router itself is in good working condition. Check for any damage to the bit's shank.
Bit does not fit router collet
Confirm that your router is equipped with a 1/2" shank collet. If not, you may need a different bit with the appropriate shank size or a collet adapter if compatible with your router model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the 1/2" shank of the Freud Casing Bit is securely seated in your router's collet. Verify that the router is unplugged before installing or removing the bit. For table-mounted routers, set the desired cutting depth and ensure the workpiece is stable. For CNC routers, load the bit into the appropriate collet and set tool parameters.
Compatibility: This bit is designed for use with routers featuring a 1/2" shank collet. It is compatible with both table-mounted routers and CNC machines. Always check your router's specifications to confirm shank size compatibility.
Care: After each use, clean the bit to remove wood dust and resin. A non-abrasive cleaner or denatured alcohol can be used with a soft cloth. Store the bit in a protective case to prevent damage to the carbide edges and the Perma-SHIELD coating. Avoid dropping the bit or exposing it to excessive moisture.
