Description

Achieve Rapid Material Removal with Freud’s Industrial Single Flute Straight Bit

The Freud 03-152 Single Flute Straight Router Bit is engineered for high-volume production environments where speed and chip clearance are the top priorities. Unlike standard double-flute bits, the single-flute design provides massive open space for chip evacuation, allowing for significantly faster feed rates without clogging or overheating. This makes it the ideal choice for contractors and woodworkers who need to plow through hardwood, softwood, plywood, or composites quickly and efficiently.

Crafted from Freud Premier Solid Carbide, the 03-152 is built to maintain a razor-sharp edge much longer than high-speed steel alternatives, even when working with abrasive composite materials. The bit features a specialized end-of-bit relief geometry that allows for lightning-fast plunging, while the precise hook and shear angles ensure a smooth finish despite the aggressive feed rate. Whether you are using a CNC machine, a table router, or a hand-held portable unit, this bit delivers industrial-grade performance for general stock removal and rapid trenching.

Key Features

  • Maximum Chip Clearance: Specialized single-flute design enables superior chip evacuation for high-speed production.
  • Freud Premier Solid Carbide: Provides extreme durability and extended cutting life compared to HSS bits.
  • Fast Plunge Cutting: Features end-of-bit relief for rapid, effortless plunging into wood and composites.
  • Universal Machine Compatibility: Fully optimized for use in CNC, hand-held, table-mounted, and palm routers.
  • Versatile Material Range: Easily cuts through all composition materials, veneered plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating reduces blade drag and protects against heat and resin buildup.

Pro-Tip: Because single-flute bits are designed for fast feed rates, they generate less heat at high speeds than double-flute bits. To get the best finish, keep the router moving consistently; pausing in one spot can cause friction-induced burn marks, even with the superior chip clearance of this Freud bit.
