Freud 16-520 3/4-inch (Dia.) Mortising Bit with 1/2-inch Shank

Freud Mortising Bits are engineered to deliver clean, precise, and splinter-free mortises in plywood, veneer, solid wood, and virtually all composite materials. Featuring a down shear design on most bits, these tools push wood fibers downward, ensuring smooth, clean top surfaces and eliminating splintering during cuts. These bits are ideal for mortising hinges and hardware, as well as cutting grooves and dadoes. The deep center gullets are specifically designed for maximum material removal, preventing chip loading for faster, more efficient cutting. Compatible with CNC machines, hand-held routers, and table-mounted portable routers, these versatile bits are perfect for both professional and DIY applications. Many models come with top bearings to suit popular routing jigs, adding flexibility to your routing setups. Additionally, the Freud Perma-Shield coating ensures extended tool life and smoother cuts by reducing friction and protecting the bit from wear.
