Freud 85-175 2-1/4-Inch Diameter Solid Surface Trimming, Repair & Bowl Removal Router Bit Set

The Freud 85-175 2-1/4-Inch Diameter Solid Surface Trimming, Repair & Bowl Removal Router Bit Set is a professional countertop fabrication kit engineered to perform sink bowl cutouts, edge flush-trimming, and seamless composite surface repairs. Manufactured with TiCo hi-density carbide cutters on a heavy-duty 1/2-inch shank with a 1-7/16-inch carbide height, 3-5/16-inch overall length, and Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating, this 2-1/4-inch overall diameter bit set operates in handheld portable routers. Featuring a specialized bearing pilot array, this solid surface repair kit solves damaged countertop sections, cracked sink seams, and uneven bowl cutout overhangs across commercial Corian, Avonite, and acrylic fabrication environments.

Best Used For:

• Undermount Sink Bowl Removal & Cutout Trimming: Milling away damaged acrylic sink bowls and trimming countertop cutout openings flush for replacement sink installation.
• Solid Surface Countertop Patching & Crack Repair: Inset-routing damaged solid surface sections and milling matching repair plugs for invisible seam restoration.
• Thick Composite Deck & Edge Trimming: Flush-trimming built-up 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch solid surface edge buildup strips in a single continuous pass.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• 2-1/4-Inch High-Capacity Trimming Diameter: Large cutter diameter delivers maximum rotational stability and smooth stock removal during bowl cutout passes.
• TiCo Hi-Density Micro-Grain Carbide Cutters: Formulated titanium-cobalt carbide edges withstand severe thermal friction generated by dense acrylic and polyester resins.
• 1-7/16-Inch Extended Carbide Height: Generous cutting height accommodates multi-layer edge buildups and thick custom countertop profiles.
• Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Thermal Coating: Protective red coating prevents resin adhesion, seaming glue buildup, and frictional heat strain on router motors.
• 1/2-Inch Heavy-Duty Steel Shank: Precision-ground 1/2-inch shank provides maximum clamping surface area in collets to eliminate vibration chatter under heavy loads.
• Precision Pilot Bearing Assembly Array: Included guide bearings ride smoothly along finished template faces and sink bowl rims without marring surrounding material.
