Freud 04-532 15mm 0.591 Inch Double Flute Straight Plunge Router Bit

The Freud 04-532 is a 15mm (0.591-inch) overall diameter double flute straight plunge router bit engineered for high-precision grooving, dado cutting, and edge-routing joinery. Featuring a 1/4-inch shank and specially relieved carbide tips for fast plunge cuts, this 2-cutter tool removes material quickly without burning wood fibers. Tipped with TiCo™ Hi-Density Micrograin Carbide, it operates at speeds up to 24,000 RPM across solid hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composites in CNC machinery, handheld routers, or router tables.

Best Used For:

  • Precision Cabinetry Dadoing & Grooving: Milling 15mm metric dado slots and cabinet back channels into hardwood plywood and MDF sheet stock.
  • Deep Mortise & Pocket Plunging: Executing clean plunge cuts into solid hardwood stock for blind mortise-and-tenon joints and interior face cutouts.
  • Flawless Edge-Routing & Straight Trimming: Slicing straight border edges and template profiles across solid woods, veneers, and composite panels.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Double Flute Cutting Geometry: Dual flutes maximize material removal rates while providing balanced, vibration-free tracking.
  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Micrograin Carbide: Proprietary industrial carbide blend maintains a sharp cutting edge up to four times longer than standard carbide.
  • Plunge-Cut Relieved Carbide Tips: End teeth are engineered for low-friction plunge entries during deep mortising and pocketing operations.
  • Optimized Shear & Hook Angles: Precision-milled shear angles shear wood fibers cleanly to eliminate tearout and post-cut sanding steps.
  • Computer-Balanced Anti-Vibration Design: Precision body balance ensures chatter-free passes at high rotational speeds up to 24,000 RPM.
  • Multi-Machine Operational Utility: Formulated for stable performance in automatic CNC routers, portable handheld routers, and stationary tables.
