Achieve Industrial-Grade Precision with Freud’s TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide Straight Bits

The Freud 08-136 5/8" Double Flute Straight Router Bit is the professional’s choice for high-volume production grooving, edge-routing, and general-purpose joinery. Engineered with precise hook and shear angles, this bit delivers exceptionally fast cutting speeds while maintaining a mirror-smooth finish in hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and abrasive composite materials. Whether you are performing delicate inlay work or heavy material removal, the dual-flute geometry ensures a balanced, vibration-free cut that significantly reduces the need for post-cut sanding.

Constructed with Freud’s proprietary TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, this bit provides maximum durability and a significantly longer cutting life compared to standard tools. The tips are specially relieved to allow for effortless, burn-free plunge cuts, making it ideal for creating deep mortises or interior pockets on CNC machines, hand-held routers, or table-mounted setups. For woodworkers who demand reliability and versatility, the 08-136 offers the industrial-grade performance required to tackle the most challenging shop projects.

Key Features

  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Specialized industrial carbide for a sharper edge and extended cutting life.
  • Double Flute Design: Provides a cleaner finish and allows for faster feed rates in solid wood and composites.
  • Plunge Cut Relief: Specially ground tips support smooth, efficient plunging for mortising and pocketing.
  • Precise Shear Angles: Engineered hook and shear angles provide rapid material removal with minimal friction.
  • Universal Compatibility: Optimized for peak performance in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.
  • Industrial Versatility: Ideal for professional grooving, edge-routing, and general-purpose shop tasks.

Pro-Tip: To extend the life of your carbide edges and prevent wood burning, always perform deep grooves in multiple shallow passes rather than one single heavy cut. Aim for a maximum depth of 1/4" per pass; this allows for better chip evacuation and keeps the bit running cool for a cleaner final finish.
