Freud Mortising Bit, Carbide Tip, 1/2" x 2" Shank Short Description

Clean mortises with less fuss and a steadier cut.

Use it when you want crisp edges in wood and composite work.

Product Overview:

When a mortise has to come out clean, this Freud mortising bit keeps the job plain and tidy. It is built for plywood, veneer, solid wood, and plenty of composites, so you are not guessing at the bench. The carbide tip helps it stay sharp through demanding cuts, and the deep center gullets clear chips before they pile up. That means smoother routing and less snagging. If you are cutting hinge pockets, hardware recesses, grooves, or dadoes, this bit gives you a steadier feel in the cut and a neater result on the surface. Picture the edge line staying crisp instead of ragged. That is the good stuff.

Key Features:

• Carbide tip cutting edge gives you a tougher bite for repeated work, so the cut stays sharp and sure.
• Down shear design pushes fibers down as it works, which helps keep splintering in check and leaves a cleaner face.
• Deep center gullets move material out fast, so chips do not gum up the cut and slow you down.
• Made for mortising, grooves, and dadoes it handles the common shop tasks that call for a tidy slot and a straight line.
• Works in CNC and portable routers so you can set it in place and keep moving, whether the job stays on the bench or not.
