Engineered with a specialized down-shear design, this bit pushes wood fibers downward during the cut to eliminate top-surface tear-out on plywood, veneer, and solid hardwoods. Whether you are recessing hinges and hardware or routing perfectly flat-bottomed dadoes, the 1-1\/4 inch diameter provides a wide, efficient cutting path that ensures your joinery is accurate and professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond traditional joinery, the 16-108 is an indispensable tool for \u003cstrong\u003eCNC spoilboard surfacing\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its large diameter and deep center gullets allow for maximum material removal and rapid chip evacuation without the risk of chip loading. Protected by Freud’s non-stick Perma-SHIELD® coating, this bit resists heat buildup and pitch accumulation, maintaining sharpness and accuracy through extended production runs on CNC machines or hand-held routers. The heavy-duty 1\/2-inch shank offers superior stability, ensuring your work surfaces remain perfectly flat and your projects reach the utmost level of precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"border-bottom: 2px solid #eee;
