Description of Freud T Slotting Cutter Shank 52 522
Cuts all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods. Use on CNC and other automatic routers as well as hand-held and table-mounted portable routers.
When I tried this T Slotting Cutter Shank, I was impressed by its excellent performance. It delivered precision cutting for my woodworking projects and made smooth and accurate slots... The sharp blades on this cutter could easily cut through thick materials without any struggle. The only downside is that the price is slightly higher than other slotting cutters in the market. Nonetheless the exceptional quality justifies the cost..
I bought this jig to make a jig for cutting 4 inch dovetail joints on a large board. Mounted on my router table (with a Bosch 1617 EVS) the bit easily cuts a 24" T-slot in a 2x4. Then it was a trip to the $4 hardware store to get carriage bolts and wing nuts (make sure the bolts have a large enough square shoulder to fit the groove so the bolt doesn't turn). Voila!
