Freud 50-103 5/8-inch shank-side bearing trim bit

1/4 in

The red cutter is above a larger dark guide ring nearest the shank.

When to choose it

The 50-103 uses a bearing next to its shank to follow a template at that end of the cutter. The 5/8-inch pilot and cutter diameters match for nominally flush work.

Check that the reference can sit on the shank side and that the 9/16-inch carbide height covers the material involved. For taller work, compare a longer cutting section with a suitable bearing position.
