Double Your Tool Life and Precision with the Freud 1/4 Inch Black I.C.E. Straight Router Bit

Revolutionize your routing efficiency with the Freud 04-107 1/4 Inch Double Flute Straight Bit, featuring the cutting-edge Black I.C.E. (Industrial Cooling Element) coating. This advanced coating protects the cutting edge by creating a slick, lubricant-like surface that repels heat and pitch buildup, allowing the bit to run significantly cooler than standard tools. When combined with Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, this bit delivers up to 2X the cutting life and performance of standard uncoated bits, making it a durable investment for high-volume woodworking.

Designed for versatility and finish quality, the 04-107 features precise hook and shear angles that slice cleanly through hardwood, softwood, plywood, and abrasive composites. The computer-balanced double flute geometry ensures vibration-free operation and leaves a smooth surface that requires minimal sanding. Additionally, the carbide tips are relief-ground to facilitate safe and effective plunge cuts, making this tool ideal for cutting dados, grooves, and mortises. Whether used in a CNC machine, a hand-held router, or a table-mounted setup, this bit offers professional-grade precision.

Key Features

  • Black I.C.E. Coating: Slick coating keeps the cutting edge cool and provides superior chip evacuation.
  • TiCo Hi-Density Carbide: Proprietary blend maximizes hardness and heat resistance for extended tool life.
  • 2X Performance: Delivers twice the life and performance compared to standard uncoated router bits.
  • Double Flute Design: Two precision-ground edges ensure fast material removal and a smooth finish.
  • Plunge Cutting Capability: Relieved tips allow for vertical drilling and starting grooves in the center of the workpiece.
  • 1/4 Inch Shank: Compatible with laminate trimmers, hand-held routers, and CNC machines.
  • Precision Geometry: Optimized shear angles reduce cutting resistance and prevent burning.

Pro-Tip: Small diameter bits like this 1/4" cutter are more prone to breaking if forced. To extend the life of the bit and ensure a clean cut, never try to cut the full depth in one pass. Instead, make multiple shallow passes (about 1/8" deep per pass) until you reach your final depth.
