Master Intricate Detail: The Professional Choice for 3D CNC Carving and Deep Grooving

The Freud 72-202 Up Cut Spiral Ball Nose Bit is an essential tool for CNC makers and professional woodworkers who refuse to compromise on detail. Featuring an extra-long 1-1/8 inch cutting length, this bit is specifically engineered for deep-reach applications, 2D relief work, and complex 3D carving. The up-cut spiral design ensures that chips are efficiently pulled away from the workpiece, preventing heat buildup and delivering a smooth, high-quality finish on delicate materials like hardwoods, softwoods, and even non-ferrous metals like aluminum.

Constructed from Freud’s proprietary TiCo™ Super Density Carbide with chromium, this bit is built to last up to twice as long as standard uncoated bits. The advanced cutting geometry is optimized for superior chip evacuation, which is critical when working with composites, plastics, or solid surface materials. Whether you are performing intricate edge work or deep grooving, the Freud 72-202 provides the maximum durability and precision required for high-production CNC environments and specialized handheld routing projects.

Key Features

  • Advanced Up-Cut Spiral design pulls chips upward for faster, cooler cutting.
  • Precision Ball Nose geometry is perfect for 3D carving and rounded grooves.
  • Extra-long 1-1/8" cutting height allows for deeper reach in thick materials.
  • Enhanced TiCo™ Super Density Carbide provides 2X the life of standard carbide bits.
  • Designed specifically for CNC Makers to deliver a high-quality, professional finish.
  • Versatile performance across wood, composites, plastics, and aluminum.
