Freud 70-104: 25/64" (Dia.) Key Hole Bit, Perma-shield Coating Red

Freud 70-104: 25/64" (Dia.) Key Hole Bit, Perma-shield Coating Red enables hidden fastener cuts for mounting plaques and shelves with precise, durable results

Use cases include mounting plaques or shelving where fasteners stay hidden. The Freud 70-104 uses a two-stage cutting design: the larger diameter bores a hole for the nail or screw head, while the smaller diameter provides space for the shank, producing a concealed fastener. This design supports precise alignment and cleaner reveals in both hard and soft woods, plywood, and composites. The Perma-SHIELD coating helps prevent heat buildup and pitch accumulation, which contributes to longer bit life and superior cutting performance across common woodworking substrates.

Engineered for high-speed cutting, the bit is suitable for CNC routers, hand-held routers, and table-mounted routers with a maximum RPM of 24,000. The TiCo Hi-Density Carbide construction delivers durable cutting edges, while the coating aids reduction of heat during extended sessions. This combination supports reliable performance when installing hanging items such as pictures or plaques, or mounting shelves with hidden fasteners, in both professional workshops and DIY projects.
