Experience Precision Routing and Enhanced Stability with the Freud 3/8 Inch Double Flute Straight Router Bit

Achieve flawless grooves and superior edge finishes with the Freud 08-124 3/8 Inch Double Flute Straight Bit. This professional-grade cutter is engineered with Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, a proprietary blend specifically formulated to maximize hardness and heat resistance. Unlike standard bits that dull quickly, this high-performance material ensures the cutting edge stays sharp up to four times longer, delivering clean, chatter-free cuts in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and abrasive composite materials.

The 08-124 is distinguished by its 3/8-inch shank, offering greater stability and reduced vibration compared to standard 1/4-inch shank bits, making it an excellent choice for users with 3/8-inch collets or CNC setups. Its computer-balanced double flute geometry features precision-ground hook and shear angles that slice efficiently through wood fibers, leaving a smooth surface that requires minimal sanding. Additionally, the tips are relief-ground to allow for safe and effective plunge cutting, making this tool perfect for mortising, dadoing, and general stock removal.

Key Features

  • TiCo Hi-Density Carbide: Specialized carbide blend offers exceptional durability and extends cutting life in tough materials.
  • 3/8 Inch Shank: Provides increased rigidity and stability compared to 1/4-inch shanks for cleaner cuts.
  • Double Flute Geometry: Two precision cutting edges ensure fast chip removal and a smooth, professional finish.
  • Plunge Cutting Capability: Relieved tips allow for vertical drilling and starting grooves in the center of the workpiece.
  • Precision Shear Angles: Optimized geometry reduces cutting resistance and prevents burning on the workpiece.
  • Versatile Application: Perfect for grooving, edge-routing, mortising, and general material removal.
