Freud 50-098 oversized-bearing template bit

1/4 in

The slim red cutter is narrower than the dark bearing directly above its shank.

When to choose it

The 50-098 uses a half-inch guide bearing and a smaller 5/16-inch cutter. It is suited to a jig designed around that difference, where the cut is intentionally offset from the guide edge.

The nominal radial difference is 3/32 inch. Confirm the exact jig requirements. For a same-plane trim, choose a model with equal cutter and bearing diameters, such as the 50-103.
