Achieve Flawless Splinter-Free Hinge Mortises with the Freud 1/2 Inch Mortising Router Bit

Create perfectly clean, flat-bottomed recesses for hinges and hardware with the Freud 16-100 1/2 Inch Mortising Bit. Unlike standard straight bits, this specialized cutter features a down-shear design that actively pushes wood fibers down as it cuts. This shearing action eliminates the surface splintering and "fuzz" often seen on plywood veneers and solid woods, ensuring that your hardware sits flush in a crisp, professional-grade mortise every time. Whether you are building cabinetry, installing doors, or creating intricate dados, this bit delivers the precision required for high-end joinery.

Engineered for efficiency and longevity, the 16-100 is equipped with deep center gullets that allow for maximum material removal without chip loading, keeping the bit cool during operation. The cutter is protected by Freud's signature Perma-SHIELD coating, which reduces friction and prevents the buildup of heat-generating pitch and resin. With a compact 1/2-inch cutting height and a 1/4-inch shank, this bit is perfectly balanced for use in CNC machines, hand-held routers, and table-mounted setups, making it a versatile essential for any woodworker's toolkit.

Key Features

  • Down-Shear Geometry: Pushes wood fibers down during the cut to eliminate surface splintering on veneers and solid wood.
  • Perma-SHIELD Coating: Non-stick coating reduces drag, prevents heating, and resists pitch buildup.
  • Deep Center Gullets: Optimized design clears chips rapidly to prevent clogging during material removal.
  • Hardware Installation: Specifically designed for creating clean, flat-bottom mortises for hinges and plates.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Safe for use in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.
  • Precision Ground: Computer-balanced to ensure vibration-free operation at high RPMs.

What's Included:

  • (1) 1/2 In. Mortising Bit with 1/4 In. Shank (Model 16-100)

Pro-Tip: Because mortising bits like the 16-100 are designed with a short carbide height (1/2"), they are specialized for shallow hardware recesses. If you need to cut a deep dado or groove that exceeds 1/2" in depth, do not try to force the bit deeper than its carbide. Instead, switch to a standard double-flute straight bit with a longer cutting length to finish the depth.

Perfect for the Price!
Color: Greige, Size: 13"D x 23.7"W x 32.7"H
The bar cart was very easy to put together. I can be "mechanically challenged" and was able to do it myself LOL It's nice and sturdy, the wheels roll smooth when you move it. The size is perfect for the small wall I have it against. I have several bottles of liquor and bartending mixer set on top, and about 20 various glassware on the 2nd shelf. The bottom shelf is taller, and does let you stand larger bottles down there. The one racks will only for the smaller size, but does hold them well.

Decent bar cart, but very annoying assembly
Color: Marble White, Size: 13"D x 23.7"W x 32.7"H
I think it looks nice and is decent value, but this thing is a pain to put together. Instead of just sending 3 shelves, you get 6 pieces to connect together to make 3 shelves. On top of that - they don’t even really connect. It would be 1000x easier if they added a couple of wooden pegs to connect the 2 pieces together. Instead, you have to do a balancing act which is tedious as can be. I ended up super glueing 2 of the 3 shelves togethers after how annoying the first was, so I would highly recommend you do the same. The whole process of putting it together feels like a balancing act. For something so small, it’s about as annoying as possible to put together. Nearly every step requires you to balance something and screw it in. Most of this would be alleviated if, as I said, it was just 3 pieces for the shelves instead of 6. But, you get what you pay for. Overall, I can’t complain too much for the price and result, but I wasn’t a fan of building it. It’d also look a little nicer if each shelf didn’t have a crack going through it.
