Freud Tool straight mortising bit is a router bit designed for general stock removal with a smooth finish, so it handles cleanup, sizing, or groove work while leaving surfaces ready for further machining or assembly. The 3/16 inch diameter cutting profile focuses removal to a narrow path, which helps when routing slots or mortises that need controlled width. A 1/4 inch shank fits routers that accept this common shank size, so the bit can be used in many standard hand-held and table-mounted portable routers that match this interface. The bit uses a straight double flute cutting geometry, so both flutes share the cutting load and support consistent chip removal. Overall 2 inch length gives working reach for shallow to moderate depth passes, letting you adjust your cut depth within that range as your setup requires.
The 1/4 inch shank on this straight mortising router bit provides a defined mounting interface, so it secures into router collets sized for 1/4 inch tooling during both CNC and manual operations. The 3/16 inch diameter cutting section focuses the cut narrower than the shank, which is useful when routing mortises, dados, or clearance slots that need a modest width while still benefiting from the stability of the larger shank. Total length of 2 inches sets the available projection and depth window, so setups can be planned to keep enough shank in the collet while achieving the desired cutting depth in the workpiece.
The Freud 04-102 router bit, identified in the SAP description as 4102 straight bit, is positioned in the straight mortising class, so it is suited to tasks that call for straight-sided cuts such as mortises, grooves, or slots. The ability to cut composition materials means sheet goods like composite panels can be machined for joinery or hardware relief, which supports cabinet and furniture components built from engineered boards. Rated use on plywoods lets this bit create dados or edge details in layered panels while maintaining a smooth finish that matters when exposed edges or fit-critical joints are involved. Suitability for hardwoods gives flexibility for solid wood frames or furniture parts, where precise mortises or recesses help structural joints register correctly. Capability with softwoods extends use to construction-grade or trim materials, so jigs, fixtures, or built-ins made from softer stock can be routed with the same 3/16 inch diameter profile. The straight double flute geometry maintains a straight cutting path along both flutes, which supports accurate sidewalls in mortises and grooves when guided by fences, templates, or CNC paths. As part of the router bits product class, this tool fits naturally into router-based workflows where material is shaped, relieved, or jointed with spinning cutters.
The designation as general stock removal with a smooth finish means the bit is intended to remove material efficiently while leaving a refined surface, which helps mortises, dados, or routed pockets seat mating parts without extra cleanup. When cutting composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, a single bit specification covering all these materials lets setups remain consistent across mixed runs, reducing the need to change cutting tools when moving from sheet goods to solid wood in the same project. The 3/16 inch diameter concentrates the cutting action into a relatively narrow pass, which aids in routing detailed slots or small mortises where over-width cuts would affect fit. The 1/4 inch shank supports stable mounting in routers that accept this shank, giving the double flute design a secure base so both flutes can share cutting forces along the bit length. Total 2 inch length provides a defined geometry for programming on CNC and other automatic routers, because tool length and cutting diameter are known values when creating paths for consistent depth and sidewall positions. The stated use on hand-held and table-mounted portable routers shows that the same bit configuration can be applied to freehand routing or table-guided work, so once depth and fence settings are dialed in, the bit geometry supports repeatable passes across multiple parts.
The Freud Tool straight mortising bit cuts composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, so it can be used across common cabinet, furniture, and general woodworking materials.
The 3/16 inch diameter focuses the cut into a narrow path, which is useful for mortises, grooves, and slots that need controlled width without removing more stock than necessary.
The 1/4 inch shank means the bit mounts in router collets designed for 1/4 inch tools, giving a standardized interface for CNC, hand-held, or table-mounted portable routers using that shank size.
The 4102 straight bit is specified for CNC and other automatic routers, so it can be used in programmed machining where consistent tool dimensions support repeatable tool paths.
The router bit is described as general stock removal because it is intended to remove material while leaving a smooth finish, supporting tasks like surfacing, grooving, and mortising.
The Freud 04-102 router bit has a 2 inch length, providing a defined depth range for routing operations while maintaining enough shank length for secure mounting.
The Freud Tool straight mortising bit with 3/16 inch diameter, 1/4 inch shank, and 2 inch length offers a defined cutting profile for general stock removal with a smooth finish in wood-based materials. Its ability to cut composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods means a single bit specification can support varied cabinet or woodworking tasks. With suitability for CNC, automatic routers, hand-held, and table-mounted portable routers, this 4102 straight bit can fit into different routing setups using the same geometry. Select this Freud 04-102 router bit when a straight double flute profile and narrow cutting width match the mortising, grooving, or stock removal work planned.
