Freud 99-035 Lock Miter Router Bit 2-11/64 Inch Diameter 1/2 Inch Shank for 90 Degree Interlocking Corner Joints in Hardwood and Softwood

Master Perfection in Corner Joinery: The Freud 99-035 Lock Miter Router Bit

The Freud 99-035 Lock Miter Router Bit is the professional woodworker's secret to creating rock-solid, airtight 90-degree interlocking corner joints. Engineered for precision and strength, this bit is specifically designed to rout one workpiece horizontally on the router table while the mating piece is routed vertically. This unique interlocking profile provides a massive increase in glue surface area, resulting in a mechanical bond that is significantly stronger than a standard miter joint. Whether you are crafting heirloom-quality jewelry boxes, humidors, or custom cabinetry, the 99-035 ensures perfectly aligned corners that will not slip or open over time.

Crafted with Freud’s legendary industrial-grade carbide and protected by a non-stick Perma-SHIELD® coating, this bit reduces friction and heat buildup to prevent wood burning and extend the life of the cutting edge. The 99-035 is optimized for use with solid hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composite materials on table-mounted routers or CNC machines. Its specialized geometry is ideal for working with stock between 1/2" and 1" thick, delivering effortless cuts and a flawless finish. Upgrade your workshop with the precision of Freud and experience the ease of assembling complex frames and boxes with professional-tier results.

Pro-Tip: Setup is critical for lock miter joints. Use a scrap piece of the exact same thickness as your project material to dial in the bit height. The goal is to have the center of the bit's profile perfectly aligned with the center of the board's thickness. Once set, always use a featherboard and a push block to maintain consistent pressure against the fence and table for a gap-free fit.
