Experience Heavy-Duty Material Removal and Mirror-Smooth Finishes with the Freud 7/8 Inch Straight Router Bit
Tackle your most demanding routing tasks with confidence using the Freud 12-168 7/8 Inch Double Flute Straight Bit. Featuring a robust 1/2-inch shank and a wide 7/8-inch cutting diameter, this heavy-duty bit is engineered for rapid stock removal and substantial grooving applications where stability is key. It is constructed from Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, a specially formulated blend that offers superior hardness and heat resistance. This premium composition ensures the bit maintains a razor-sharp edge up to four times longer than standard carbide cutters, even when working with abrasive materials like plywood and composites.
The 12-168 is designed with precision computer-balanced geometry to minimize vibration and ensure chatter-free performance. Its optimized hook and shear angles slice cleanly through hardwood and softwood fibers, producing a surface finish that often requires no sanding. The bit also features a specialized end grind that relieves the tips, allowing for efficient plunging capabilities. This makes it ideal for creating deep mortises, stopped dadoes, and pocket cuts. Whether you are using a powerful CNC machine, a table-mounted router, or a heavy-duty hand-held router, this tool delivers the professional precision you expect from Freud.
Key Features
- TiCo Hi-Density Carbide: Proprietary blend maximizes hardness and edge retention for extended tool life in tough materials.
- Heavy-Duty Design: 1/2-inch shank and 7/8-inch diameter provide the stability needed for heavy stock removal.
- Double Flute Geometry: Two precision-ground edges ensure fast chip evacuation and a smooth, clean finish.
- Plunge Cutting Ready: Relieved tips allow for vertical drilling and starting grooves in the center of the workpiece.
- Deep Cutting Capacity: 1-1/4 inch carbide height allows for deep dadoing and mortising.
- Precision Shear Angles: Optimized geometry reduces cutting resistance and prevents burning.
- Versatile Compatibility: Engineered for use in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.
