Freud 75-101 3/16-Inch Up-Spiral Single-Flute Solid Carbide Router Bit

The Freud 75-101 3/16-Inch Up-Spiral Single-Flute Solid Carbide Router Bit is a high-precision CNC routing tool engineered to execute deep mortising, slot grooving, and clean through-cuts in solid wood, plywood, MDF, and composite panels. Operating at speeds up to 24,000 RPM with a 1/4-inch shank, 3/16-inch cutting diameter, and 2-1/2-inch overall length, this single-flute cutter features TiCo hi-density micrograin carbide tips and Black I.C.E. / Perma-SHIELD protective coatings. Designed for CNC milling centers, handheld plunge routers, and router tables, this upward spiral cutter solves chip packing, frictional heat buildup, and bottom-edge tear-out challenges in high-volume woodworking production shops.

Best Used For:

  • CNC Deep Mortising & Blind Hole Routing: Clearing sawdust rapidly upward out of deep cavities to prevent cutter pack-up and thermal bit failure.
  • Plywood & Composite Through-Cutting: Milling precise 3/16-inch wide slots and contours through multi-layer hardwood plywood and dense MDF sheets.
  • High-Speed Automated Production Grooving: Executing splinter-free bottom-surface grooves on automated CNC machinery operating at high feed rates.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Up-Spiral Single-Flute Geometry: Upward shearing action lifts wood chips and dust out of deep cuts to eliminate clogging and reduce thermal stress.
  • TiCo Hi-Density Micrograin Carbide: Premium titanium-cobalt carbide formulation maintains razor sharpness against abrasive composite glues and resins.
  • Black I.C.E. & Perma-SHIELD Thermal Coatings: Dual-coating system resists frictional heat, pitch buildup, corrosion, and edge wear for extended bit life.
  • Multi-Axis Precision Grinding: Precision-ground cutting edges deliver smooth, burn-free finishes without edge chatter or tear-out.
  • Proprietary Anti-Kickback Design: Formulated bit geometry regulates material feed rate to enhance operator control and safety across all router setups.

What's Included

  • (1) Freud 75-101 3/16 in. Up-Spiral Single-Flute Solid Carbide Router Bit (1/4 in. Shank)
