Freud 12-112 13/32 Inch Double Flute Straight Router Bit 1/2 Shank TiCo Carbide 1 Inch Cut Length Plunge Grooving Custom Joinery Wood

Solve Custom Joinery Challenges with the Freud 13/32 Inch Precision Straight Router Bit

Achieve the perfect fit for custom woodworking projects with the Freud 12-112 13/32 Inch Double Flute Straight Router Bit. Standard fractional bits don't always cut it; sometimes a 3/8-inch groove is too tight for your hardware or tenon, while a 7/16-inch cut is too loose. This 13/32-inch diameter bit bridges that gap, offering a specialized solution for creating slightly wider dados, metric-sized channels (approx. 10.3mm), or loose-tenon mortises that require just a hair more clearance. Mounted on a rigid 1/2-inch shank, this tool eliminates the vibration common in smaller shanks, ensuring your custom-sized grooves have straight, clean walls every time.

The 12-112 is built to the highest professional standards using Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide. This micro-grain formulation is engineered to withstand heat and abrasion, keeping the cutting edges sharp up to four times longer than standard bits. The computer-balanced double flute geometry features precision-ground shear angles that slice cleanly through wood fibers, leaving a smooth finish that minimizes sanding. With "Double Grind" relieved tips designed for efficient plunge cutting, this bit is a versatile problem-solver for CNC machines, router tables, and hand-held routing in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites.
