This versatile cutter is precision-engineered using Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, a specialized formula designed to deliver maximum hardness and resistance to heat. This superior material composition allows the bit to maintain a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard carbide cutters, ensuring clean, chatter-free cuts in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for flexibility, the 04-131 features a standard 1\/4-inch shank, making it compatible with a wide range of hand-held routers, trim routers, and CNC machines. The computer-balanced double flute geometry includes precise hook and shear angles that slice efficiently through wood fibers to leave a smooth surface finish. Additionally, the carbide tips are relief-ground to facilitate safe and effective plunge cuts, making this tool ideal for cutting dados, rabbets, mortises, and intricate grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 30px;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiCo Hi-Density Carbide:\u003c\/strong\u003e Proprietary blend offers exceptional durability and extends cutting life in abrasive materials.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble Flute Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two precision-ground edges ensure fast chip removal and a smooth, clean finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunge Cutting Ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tips are relieved to allow for vertical drilling and starting grooves in the center of the workpiece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 Inch Shank:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect for use in laminate trimmers, hand-held routers, and smaller CNC applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Application:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for grooving, edge-routing, dadoing, and general stock removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision Geometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shear and hook angles are optimized to reduce cutting resistance and heat buildup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) 1\/2 In.
