Freud 99-468 Door and Window Casing Router Bit 1-1/2 Inch Diameter 1/2 Inch Shank Profile #444 for Hardwood Trim

Mill Industry-Standard Door and Window Casing with Precision

Elevate the finish of your home renovation or custom woodworking project with the Freud 99-468 Door and Window Casing Router Bit. This professional-grade tool is specifically designed to replicate the industry-standard casing profile #444, adding an elegant, traditional touch to door frames, window trim, and built-ins. By milling your own molding, you are no longer restricted to the basic pine or primed MDF found at big-box stores. Instead, you can choose the perfect wood species—whether it's rich cherry, durable oak, or exotic mahogany—to seamlessly match your existing furniture and décor.

Built for serious production, the 99-468 features a substantial 2-7/8 inch carbide cutting height, allowing it to mill wide profiles with exceptional detail. The bit is crafted with Freud’s exclusive TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, a specialized formulation that stays sharper longer and provides a flawless, stain-ready finish on both hardwoods and softwoods. Protected by the signature red Perma-SHIELD® coating, this bit resists heat buildup, rust, and pitch accumulation, ensuring smooth operation even during extended use. Due to its large profile and cutting height, this bit is designed for safe and stable use in table-mounted routers or CNC machines.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: Due to the significant 2-7/8 inch cutting height of this bit, it removes a large volume of wood. To achieve a chatter-free finish and protect your router motor, do not attempt to cut the full depth in a single pass. Instead, use a tall fence for support and make 3 to 4 lighter passes, gradually increasing the depth of cut.
