Featuring a massive 1-1\/2 inch cutting diameter, this bit is the ultimate solution for rapid material removal, wide dado cuts, and flattening large surface areas such as CNC spoilboards or live-edge slabs. Supported by a rigid 1\/2-inch shank, it offers the stability required to minimize vibration during these aggressive cuts. The tool is crafted from Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, a specialized formulation designed to withstand the intense heat generated by large-diameter bits, ensuring the cutting edge remains razor-sharp up to four times longer than standard carbide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its aggressive size, the 12-190 is engineered for precision and a superior finish. Its computer-balanced double flute geometry utilizes optimized hook and shear angles to slice cleanly through wood fibers rather than tearing them, leaving a smooth surface that significantly reduces sanding time. A standout feature of this bit is the \"Eclipse Grind\" on the tips, which provides a center relief to allow for efficient plunge cutting. This capability enables vertical entry into the material for deep pocketing or stopped grooves. Whether you are running a CNC machine, a table-mounted router, or a high-power hand-held router, this bit delivers professional-grade efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 30px;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMassive Cutting Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2 inch width is ideal for surfacing, planing, and wide grooving applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiCo Hi-Density Carbide:\u003c\/strong\u003e Proprietary blend maximizes hardness and heat resistance for extended tool life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty Shank:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2-inch shank ensures maximum stability and safety during heavy stock removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunge Ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eclipse grind tip geometry allows for vertical drilling and deep pocketing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep Cutting Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/4 inch carbide height handles thick stock and deep dado requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision Shear Angles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered to reduce cutting resistance and prevent burning on the workpiece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers (check RPM limits).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) 1-1\/2 In.
