Experience Heavy-Duty Material Removal and Mirror-Smooth Finishes with the Freud 7/8 Inch Straight Router Bit

Tackle your most demanding routing tasks with confidence using the Freud 12-168 7/8 Inch Double Flute Straight Bit. Featuring a robust 1/2-inch shank and a wide 7/8-inch cutting diameter, this heavy-duty bit is engineered for rapid stock removal and substantial grooving applications where stability is key. It is constructed from Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, a specially formulated blend that offers superior hardness and heat resistance. This premium composition ensures the bit maintains a razor-sharp edge up to four times longer than standard carbide cutters, even when working with abrasive materials like plywood and composites.

The 12-168 is designed with precision computer-balanced geometry to minimize vibration and ensure chatter-free performance. Its optimized hook and shear angles slice cleanly through hardwood and softwood fibers, producing a surface finish that often requires no sanding. The bit also features a specialized end grind that relieves the tips, allowing for efficient plunging capabilities. This makes it ideal for creating deep mortises, stopped dadoes, and pocket cuts. Whether you are using a powerful CNC machine, a table-mounted router, or a heavy-duty hand-held router, this tool delivers the professional precision you expect from Freud.

Key Features

  • TiCo Hi-Density Carbide: Proprietary blend maximizes hardness and edge retention for extended tool life in tough materials.
  • Heavy-Duty Design: 1/2-inch shank and 7/8-inch diameter provide the stability needed for heavy stock removal.
  • Double Flute Geometry: Two precision-ground edges ensure fast chip evacuation and a smooth, clean finish.
  • Plunge Cutting Ready: Relieved tips allow for vertical drilling and starting grooves in the center of the workpiece.
  • Deep Cutting Capacity: 1-1/4 inch carbide height allows for deep dadoing and mortising.
  • Precision Shear Angles: Optimized geometry reduces cutting resistance and prevents burning.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Engineered for use in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.

What's Included:

  • (1) 7/8 In. Double Flute Straight Bit with 1/2 In. Shank (Model 12-168)

Pro-Tip: Large diameter bits like this 7/8" cutter remove a significant amount of material and generate more torque than smaller bits. To ensure safety and a high-quality finish, consider reducing your router's RPM slightly below the maximum 24,000 RPM, and always make multiple passes rather than attempting to cut the full depth at once.

Good set of clubs for beginners to find out if golf is their game! You'll need a putter, though.
Hand Orientation: Right, Color: Blue/Black
This nice inexpensive set is great for a beginner at golf, which is me--never played before. I don't evem know if I'm going to like playing, but at least I have a set of clubs so that I can give it a try...it's the exercise from walking the course that appeals to me. My son says he can teach me, even using mens clubs. I figure if I like the game, I can get a nicer set of ladies clubs and pass this set to my grandson. If I don't like the game, I can still pass the set along to my grandson! My son thought these clubs were decent weight and quality and well worth the price...the only thing missing was a putter, but we found a cheaper one to add to the set.
