To extend the life of your bit and prevent burning the wood, take multiple passes, cutting no deeper than the diameter of the bit (3\/8\") per pass. This allows for better chip evacuation and a cleaner final result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Freud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51532432474423,"sku":"12-108T","price":16.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2274\/5945\/files\/Freud_12-108T_3_8_Inch_Diameter_Double_Flute_Straight_Router_Bit_1_2_Inch_Shank_TiCo_Carbide_Tipped_General_Purpose_Grooving_Tool_CNC_Handheld_Routers_1.webp?v=1778604681","url":"https:\/\/www.1toptools.com\/products\/freud-12-108t-3-8-inch-diameter-double-flute-straight-router-bit-1-2-inch-shank-tico-carbide-tipped-general-purpose-grooving-tool-for-cnc-and-handheld-routers","provider":"1 Top Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
