Router 32mm System
32mm Router Bits for Cabinet Doors and Hinges
The 32mm system is the European cabinet standard built around 32mm hole spacing and cup hinges. This small collection holds router cutters sized for that work. Freud offers the CB25070R and CB25070L 32mm cylinder hinge bits in right and left hand, plus the DE320-U top and DE320-T bottom cutter heads for 32mm door edge profiles. Festool adds the 492691 32mm carbide edge-rounding bit.
What to Look For
- Rotation. Freud hinge bits come in R and L versions. Match the bit to the spindle or router rotation it is made for.
- Two-piece cutter heads. The DE320 top and bottom heads work as a pair to profile both faces of a door edge.
- Line boring. For shelf pin and system holes, a dedicated drilling setup is faster than a router bit.

Router 32mm System FAQ
What is the 32mm system?
It is a cabinet building method where shelf pin holes, hinge plates, and drawer hardware all sit on a 32mm grid. Building to the grid lets standard European hardware drop into place without custom layout on every box.
