Freud Mortising Bits are designed to deliver clean, precise, splinter free mortises in plywood, veneer, solid wood or almost any composite material. Most of these bits feature a down shear design that helps eliminate splintering by pushing wood fibers down during the cut. Ideal for mortising hinges and hardware, or cutting grooves and dadoes. This bit is also ideal for keeping your CNC router’s spoilboard perfectly flat for the utmost accuracy in your projects. These bits are designed with deep center gullets for maximum material removal without chip loading. Use for mortising in any CNC or portable router, or for spoilboard surfacing in any CNC machine.
