Achieve Flawless Precision with Freud’s TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide Double Flute Router Bits

The Freud 08-132 1/2" Double Flute Straight Bit is a professional-grade solution for woodworkers who demand a perfect balance of speed and finish quality. Featuring a unique 3/8" shank, this bit is specifically designed for intermediate-sized collets, providing superior stability for heavy-duty grooving and edge-routing tasks. The dual-flute geometry ensures efficient material removal while the precision-ground hook and shear angles deliver an incredibly smooth finish in hardwoods, softwoods, and abrasive composites.

Engineered for versatility, the 08-132 features relieved tips that allow for effortless and accurate plunge cuts, making it ideal for mortising and interior pocketing. Whether you are using a high-production CNC machine, a table-mounted router, or a hand-held unit, this bit’s TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide construction resists wear and maintains a sharp edge significantly longer than standard bits. This industrial durability ensures consistent performance across varied projects, from cabinetry joinery to general stock removal.
