Description

Achieve Industrial Feed Rates with Freud’s High-Clearance Black I.C.E. Straight Bits

The Freud 03-128 3/16" Single Flute Straight Router Bit is engineered for high-volume production where rapid material removal and superior chip evacuation are critical. Featuring a single-flute geometry, this bit provides maximum open gullet space, allowing for much faster feed rates compared to standard double-flute bits without the risk of clogging. This design is ideal for grooving, slotting, and plunging in hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and abrasive composites.

This bit features Freud’s innovative Black I.C.E. (Industrial Cooling Element) coating, which keeps the cutting edge cool and significantly reduces pitch buildup. When combined with TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, this coating delivers up to 2X the tool life and performance of standard uncoated bits. Optimized for use in CNC machines, table-mounted routers, and hand-held units, the 03-128 ensures a cleaner finish and more efficient workflow for any professional woodworking shop.

Key Features

  • Black I.C.E. Coating: Provides a cool cutting edge and superior chip evacuation for high-speed production.
  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Specialized industrial-grade carbide formula for maximum edge retention and durability.
  • Maximum Chip Clearance: Single-flute design allows for fast feed rates in various materials.
  • Universal Compatibility: Optimized for peak performance in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.
  • Extended Tool Life: Delivers 2X increased performance compared to standard uncoated bits.

Pro-Tip: Because single-flute bits remove a large amount of material per rotation, always maintain a steady, rapid feed rate. This prevents the bit from dwelling in one spot, which can cause friction heat and premature dulling, even with advanced coatings like Black I.C.E.
