Freud 12-124 1/2 Inch Double Flute Straight Router Bit 1/2 Shank Extra Long 4-1/4 Inch Overall Length Deep Mortising Grooving Extended Reach

Reach Deeper and Rout with Precision using the Extra-Long Freud 1/2 Inch Straight Bit

Tackle deep mortising, thick stock, and hard-to-reach joinery with the Freud 12-124 1/2 Inch Double Flute Straight Bit. This specialized "extended reach" cutter features an impressive 4-1/4 inch overall length, providing the extra clearance needed for deep slotting or routing through thick lumber that standard bits simply cannot handle. Anchored by a heavy-duty 1/2-inch shank, this tool is engineered to maintain stability and minimize vibration, even at its extended length. The bit is coated in Freud's industrial Perma-SHIELD, a non-stick coating that reduces friction and prevents the buildup of heat and pitch, ensuring smooth operation during long cutting sessions.

Constructed from Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, the 12-124 is built to retain a razor-sharp edge up to four times longer than standard carbide bits. Its computer-balanced double flute geometry utilizes precise hook and shear angles to slice cleanly through hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites, leaving a finish that requires minimal sanding. The bit also features end-relieved tips, allowing for efficient plunge cutting to start deep pockets or blind grooves. Whether used in a CNC machine for deep profiling or a table-mounted router for complex joinery, this extra-long bit delivers professional reliability.
