Achieve Precision Grooves and Flawless Edge Routing with the Freud 15/32 Inch Double Flute Straight Bit

Elevate your woodworking projects with the Freud 15/32 In. Double Flute Straight Bit (Model 12-114), a premium cutter designed for versatility and longevity. Engineered with Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, this bit offers superior resistance to heat and wear, ensuring it stays sharp significantly longer than standard bits. The sturdy 1/2-inch shank minimizes vibration, providing the stability needed for high-quality general-purpose routing, whether you are creating dados, rabbets, or intricate grooves in hardwood, softwood, plywood, or composites.

Performance is built into the geometry of this tool. The precise hook and shear angles are calculated to provide fast cutting action while leaving a smooth, clean finish that requires minimal sanding. The bit is also relieved at the tip, allowing for efficient plunge cuts, making it an excellent choice for mortising operations. Designed for maximum compatibility, this router bit performs exceptionally well in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers, delivering professional results across a wide range of applications.
