12-116 Straight Router Bit, 1/2 In. Dia., 2-5/8 In. Oal, Carbide

The Freud 12-116 is a precision straight router bit designed to deliver clean, accurate cuts in wood, plywood, hardwood, soft wood, and composite materials. With a 1/2-inch diameter cutter and two carbide flutes, this bit excels in both handheld and table-mounted routers, as well as CNC and automatic routing equipment. Whether you're shaping cabinet doors, trimming panels, or creating precise dados and joinery, this bit provides the stability and durability that woodworkers expect.

The two-flute carbide design optimizes chip removal, reducing heat buildup and vibration for smoother finishes and consistent results. The compact overall length and 1/2-inch shank fit standard collet routers securely, minimizing run-out and interference in tight workspaces. Carbide construction resists wear far better than steel, extending tool life and maintaining sharpness through multiple projects.
