Achieve Mirror-Smooth Finishes with Freud’s Industrial Double Flute Straight Bit Technology

The Freud 04-532 Double Flute Straight Router Bit is the professional woodworker’s choice for high-precision grooving, edge-routing, and general-purpose joinery. Engineered with a 15mm diameter (approximately 19/32") and precise hook and shear angles, this bit delivers exceptionally fast cutting speeds while maintaining a glass-smooth finish in hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composite materials. Whether you are crafting intricate cabinetry or performing heavy-duty material removal, the dual-flute geometry ensures a balanced cut with minimal vibration, significantly reducing the need for post-cut sanding.

Constructed with Freud’s proprietary TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, the 04-532 is designed for maximum durability and a significantly longer cutting life compared to standard carbide bits. The tips are specially relieved to allow for efficient, burn-free plunge cuts, making it ideal for creating deep mortises or interior cutouts. Optimized for use in CNC machines, table-mounted routers, and hand-held portable routers, this versatile bit provides the stability and industrial-grade performance required for the most demanding shop environments.

Key Features

  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Specialized industrial carbide for a sharper edge and significantly longer cutting life.
  • Double Flute Design: Two cutting edges create a cleaner finish and allow for faster feed rates in all wood types.
  • Plunge Cut Relief: Specially relieved tips support effortless plunging for mortising and pocketing applications.
  • Precise Shear Angles: Engineered hook and shear angles provide fast material removal with minimal friction.
  • Universal Routing: Perfect for high-speed use in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.
  • Multi-Material Versatility: Delivers clean cuts in solid wood, plywood, veneers, and composites.
  • Computer Balanced: Precision-balanced to ensure vibration-free operation even at high RPMs.

Pro-Tip: When routing deep grooves or dadoes, always perform the cut in multiple shallow passes rather than one single deep pass. Aim for a depth of 1/4" per pass to maintain bit coolness and ensure the cleanest possible side-walls while reducing stress on your router’s motor and the carbide edges.
