Discover our range of router cutters and accessories from Trend and Faithfull, covering TCT router bits, bearing guided profile cutters, jigs and guide bushes in both 1/4in and 1/2in shank sizes.

Choosing the right bit or accessory comes down to the profile you need to cut and the shank size your router takes. Beyond bits, this range extends into the jigs and fixtures that make repeatable joinery tasks, from pocket holes to mortice and tenon joints, faster and more accurate.

Router Cutters & Accessories – Product list

TCT router bits by profile

Faithfull's individual TCT bit range covers common profiles such as the Ovolo, Rounding Over, Corner Bead and Two Flute cutters, giving a straightforward way to build a bit collection profile by profile rather than buying a full set upfront.

Trend bearing guided cutters

Trend's bearing guided range uses a bearing that follows an edge or template, keeping the cut consistent without needing a separate guide fence. This includes the C130 Corner Bead, C145 Slotting Cutter, C152 Biscuit Jointer, C049 Chamfer Cutter and C040 Rebater, each available in 1/4in and, for many profiles, 1/2in shank.

Router bit sets

For building a broad collection in one purchase, Trend's starter sets range from the SS8TC 12 Piece Set up to the 50 Piece Starter Set, while Faithfull's 1/2in TCT Router Bit Set (15 Piece) covers a similar spread for the larger shank size.

Template profilers and trimmers

For following a fixed template shape, Trend's Template Profiler range, including the T46/01 90° Template Profiler and TR29 Shank Mounted Bearing Guided Profiler, gives precise, repeatable results when cutting multiple identical pieces to a template.

Hinge sinking and specialist bits

For fitting concealed hinges, the Trend T421/35 Hinge Sinking Bit and T420/35 cut the precise recess needed. For fire door work, the C220 Intumescent Cutter and C209 Intumescent Recessor cut the specific groove intumescent strip requires.

Jigs for joinery

Trend's jig range takes the guesswork out of repetitive joints: the Single Pocket Hole Jig and Twin Pocket Hole Jig give consistent pocket screw joints, the Mortice & Tenon Jig handles this classic joint accurately, and the Hinge Jig speeds up recessing multiple hinges to a consistent depth and position.

Kitchen worktop jigs

For joining laminate worktops, the KWJ700 and KWJ900 Kitchen Worktop Jigs guide the router to cut a precise mitre and bolt housing, a job that's difficult to achieve accurately freehand.

Guide bushes and cutting guides

Guide bushes, such as the GB12, GB18, GB160 and GB30, follow a template edge when the cutter itself doesn't have a bearing, useful for template-based work like inlays and recesses. Faithfull's Aluminium Wide Track Cutting Guides, in 900mm and 1250mm, give a straight-edge reference for long, accurate cuts.

Replacement parts

Bearings wear out with use, so Trend offers replacement bearings like the B127 and B16, letting you keep a bearing guided cutter in service rather than replacing the whole bit. Collet sleeves, such as the 8127 Collet Sleeve, adapt a router's collet to a different shank diameter.

Frequently Asked Questions

The shank is the smooth part of the bit that fits into the router collet. A 1/4in shank fits smaller handheld routers and is suitable for light cutting. A 1/2in shank is more rigid, transfers less vibration to the cut and is preferred for heavy cutting, large profile cutters and router table work. Always check that your router has the correct collet size before ordering.
A bearing guided cutter has a small bearing that follows the workpiece edge or a template, keeping the cut depth and line consistent without needing a separate fence or guide, useful for profiling curved or irregular edges.
A guide bush follows a template edge when the cutter itself doesn't have a bearing, letting you replicate the same shape across multiple pieces accurately, common in inlay and recessing work.
Yes, Trend sells replacement bearings separately, letting you restore a bearing guided cutter to proper function without replacing the entire bit once the original bearing wears out.
