Most of these bits feature a down shear design, which pushes wood fibers downward during the cut, ensuring smooth, clean top surfaces and virtually eliminating splintering. Perfect for mortising hinges and hardware or cutting grooves and dadoes, these bits also excel in maintaining the accuracy of your CNC router’s spoilboard. Their deep center gullets allow for maximum material removal without chip loading, ensuring fast, efficient cutting in every pass. These versatile bits are ideal for use on CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted portable routers. Many models come with top bearings to suit popular routing jigs, adding extra convenience and flexibility for your routing tasks. Additionally, the Freud Perma-SHIELD coating reduces friction and enhances tool life, making these bits a durable choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

Review: Great flattening router bit - This router bit did a great job flattening a fairly large Aspen wood slab. I recently built a table using part of a tree stump and needed a way to flatten the surface. I created a jig using two pieces of aluminum angle iron so that I could run my palm router back and forth along the table surface. I removed about 1/16 to 1/8 inch on each pass. The bit had no trouble cutting through the wood material. I probably made in excess of 50 passes and the bit still performed well. I am very happy with its performance and design. ## Features - Premium Design - Features a down shear design for clean, splinter-free cuts, ensuring ultra-precise mortises in plywood, veneer, solid wood, and composites.

I'm taking shallow passes with low rpm, but it just chews through the wood. Absolutely amazing. I've taken off about 1/2" from each so far. No signs of dulling yet, but i just tossed another one in my cart in the event a tip breaks before I finish my project. I'll be using these bits for all my projects going forward! ## Frequently Bought Together - Freud 16-106: 1-1/4” (Dia.)
