    Description

    Freud 04-100 Straight Bit For Stock Removal

    Freud 04-100 straight bit is a straight mortising, straight double flute router bit with a 1/8 inch diameter, 1/4 inch shank, and 2 inch length, so it tackles precise cuts while fitting common router collets. This router bit is designed for general stock removal with a smooth finish, so it clears material efficiently while leaving clean surfaces on the cut path. The bit cuts all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, which lets you move between different sheet goods and solid lumber without changing the basic bit style. As a router bit in the Straight Mortising category, it is suited to groove-style work where accurate straight cuts matter. The Freud Tool brand identity and the 4100 STRAIGHT BIT description together define a consistent part number and profile that supports repeatable setup across jobs.

    Key Straight Mortising Details That Matter

    • The 1/8 inch diameter focuses the cut into a narrow path, which helps when routing slim mortises or grooves where tight joint geometry is required.
    • The 1/4 inch shank matches a common router collet size, which lets you run the bit in a wide range of hand-held and table-mounted portable routers.
    • The 2 inch length provides working reach for many standard-depth cuts, which supports mortising and general stock removal in both sheet goods and solid stock.
    • The straight double flute design provides paired cutting edges along the bit, which supports smooth material removal and a smooth finish on composition boards and solid woods.
    • The general stock removal application focus means the bit is suited to clearing material rather than profiling, so it helps when you need efficient waste removal with acceptable finish quality.
    • The 4100 STRAIGHT BIT SAP description and 04-100 part number together identify this exact Freud Tool router bit, which simplifies reordering and matching to existing shop records.

    Installation And Router Setup For This Bit

    This 1/4 inch shank straight mortising bit mounts into routers designed for 1/4 inch shank tools, which aligns the Freud 04-100 straight bit with many standard hand-held and table-mounted portable routers. The 2 inch length gives room for typical depth settings, so you can set projection to match required mortise depth while keeping enough shank engagement in the collet. Because the bit is specified for use on CNC and other automatic routers, it also fits workflows where routers are machine-controlled rather than hand-guided. The straight double flute layout keeps the cutting geometry consistent along the length, which supports predictable feed behavior when routing in hardwoods, softwoods, plywoods, and composition materials.

    Using This Straight Mortising Bit In Real Work

    Where This Freud Straight Bit Performs Best

    This Freud Tool straight mortising router bit is described for application in general stock removal with a smooth finish, so it fits tasks where you are clearing routed channels or pockets rather than shaping decorative profiles. Its ability to cut all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods gives it range across cabinet parts, furniture components, and general woodworking assemblies that mix sheet goods and solid pieces. The 1/8 inch diameter suits narrow groove layouts, so it can route slim channels in plywood or hardwood where a wider bit would remove too much material. The 2 inch length lets the same bit handle a variety of depth settings, which supports repeated passes in thicker hardwoods or full-depth cuts in thinner plywood and composition panels.

    Why These Bit Details Support Repeatable Results

    The straight double flute design delivers two cutting edges along the bit, so material removal stays balanced during general stock removal, which supports a smooth finish stated in the product description. With a 1/4 inch shank, the bit uses a standard shank size that corresponds to many routers, which helps maintain consistent grip and alignment when moved between hand-held routers, table-mounted portable routers, and CNC or other automatic routers. Being in the Straight Mortising category frames its role as a straight-cutting tool, which keeps expectations focused on clean, straight channels and mortises across composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods rather than contour work. The 04-100 manufacturer part number and 4100 STRAIGHT BIT SAP description firmly link this geometry to a single catalog entry, which supports using the same programmed settings or jigs each time you select this bit for a job.
