Meet the Freud 70-110 22° Detail Carving Bit — a precision tool designed to elevate tight relief work, delicate incisions, and decorative edging in woodworking projects. Built on Freud’s renowned TiCo solid carbide, this bit delivers exceptional edge retention, smoother cuts, and a longer life, so you can trust it for intricate details over many projects.

What makes this bit stand out

• 22° cutting edge creates crisp, refined detail with clean curves and subtle facets that bring small-scale carving to life.
• 1/4" diameter cutting tip provides precise control for fine details, delicate profiles, and tight dimensions in both softwoods and hardwoods.
• Freud TiCo solid carbide blend combines exceptional hardness with heat resistance for sharper edges that stay sharp longer and resist dulling under demanding routing tasks.
• Reliable performance designed for pattern work, relief carving, sign making, inlays, and decorative edging — all while delivering a smooth finish with minimal tear-out.

Ideal uses and who benefits most

• Relief carving on hardwoods like cherry, walnut, maple, and birch, where fine detail is critical.
• Sign making and lettering where clean, precise lines enhance readability and aesthetics.
• Decorative edging and small fillets on furniture, picture frames, and cabinetry to add subtle character without overpowering the piece.
• Inlays and intricate patterns on hobby projects, guitars, and model work where control over shallow, precise cuts matters.

Why choose Freud TiCo for detail work

TiCo solid carbide is engineered to resist chipping and retain a sharp edge through repeated passes, reducing the need for frequent sharpening and producing a smoother finish on both soft and hard woods. When you pair this with the 22° geometry and a compact 1/4" profile, you get a detail bit that responds predictably to light, controlled cuts and delivers consistent results across different woods and projects.

Practical tips for best results

• Use light, consistent passes to minimize tear-out on end grain and achieve the cleanest lines.
• Maintain a steady feed rate and avoid aggressive plunges; let the sharp edge do the work.
• Work with a backing board or tap flat surfaces to reduce chipping on delicate details.
• Pair with a stable router setup (handheld or table-mounted) for precise control during intricate work.
