Achieve Precise Clean Cuts with the Freud 1/4 Inch Double Flute Straight Router Bit

Enhance your woodworking precision with the Freud 04-105 1/4 Inch Double Flute Straight Bit. As a staple in any router bit collection, this tool is crafted using Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide—a proprietary formulation engineered to withstand high heat and maintain a sharp edge up to four times longer than standard carbide bits. With a versatile 1/4-inch shank, this cutter is perfectly compatible with a wide range of laminate trimmers, hand-held routers, and tabletop CNC machines, delivering reliable performance in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and abrasive composite materials.

The 04-105 is designed for both efficiency and superior finish quality. Its computer-balanced double flute geometry utilizes precise hook and shear angles to slice cleanly through wood fibers, minimizing vibration and leaving a smooth surface that often requires no sanding. The carbide tips are specifically relief-ground to facilitate safe and effective plunge cutting, making this tool essential for starting blind grooves, dados, or mortises directly in the center of a workpiece. Whether you are performing general stock removal or intricate joinery, this bit provides the accuracy and durability professionals demand.

Key Features

  • TiCo Hi-Density Carbide: Specialized carbide blend offers maximum hardness and heat resistance for extended tool life.
  • Double Flute Geometry: Two precision cutting edges ensure fast chip removal and a smooth, chatter-free finish.
  • Plunge Cutting Capability: Relieved tips allow for vertical drilling and starting grooves anywhere on the material.
  • 1/4 Inch Shank: Versatile shank size fits laminate trimmers, hand-held routers, and tabletop CNC machines.
  • Precision Shear Angles: Optimized geometry reduces cutting resistance and prevents burning on the workpiece.
  • Versatile Application: Perfect for grooving, dadoing, edge-routing, and general material removal.

Pro-Tip: Small diameter bits like this 1/4" cutter can easily overheat or break if pushed too hard. To extend the life of the bit and ensure a clean cut, never try to cut the full depth in a single pass. Instead, use multiple shallow passes (approx. 1/8" deep) until you reach your final desired depth.
