Freud 12-110T 3/8 Inch Diameter Double Flute Straight Router Bit 1/2 Inch Shank TiCo Carbide Tipped Grooving Tool for CNC and Handheld Routers

Unleash Industrial-Grade Cutting Power for Grooving and Edge Routing

Maximize the versatility of your workshop with the Freud 12-110T 3/8" Double Flute Straight Router Bit. Designed for serious woodworkers and cabinetmakers, this bit features a generous 1-1/4" cutting length, making it ideal for cutting deep dados, rabbets, and mortises. Whether you are creating joinery for cabinets, routing grooves for shelving, or performing general stock removal, the precision-ground double flute geometry ensures fast chip clearance and smooth, splinter-free edges. It cuts effortlessly through a wide range of materials, including solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, and abrasive composites.

Engineered for durability and precision, the 12-110T is crafted with Freud’s exclusive TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide. This specialized micrograin formula is designed to hold a sharp edge longer than standard carbide, even under the stress of deep cuts and high feed rates. The bit tips are end-relieved to allow for efficient plunge cutting, which is essential for creating stopped grooves and blind mortises. Protected by the signature Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, the tool resists heat buildup, corrosion, and pitch accumulation, ensuring reliable, chatter-free performance in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.

Pro-Tip: Because this bit features a long 1-1/4" cutting length, it is tempting to cut deep slots in one pass. However, to extend the life of the bit and ensure a clean finish, you should take multiple passes. A good rule of thumb is to cut no deeper than the bit's diameter (3/8") in a single pass. This prevents the bit from overheating and keeps your router motor from bogging down.
