Freud Tool straight mortising bit is a straight flute router bit designed for general stock removal while producing a smooth finish. The 1/2 inch diameter cutting profile removes material evenly, so mortises and grooves stay consistent across a run. As a straight mortising bit in the router bits class, it is suited to creating straight channels where a flat bottom is important for fit. The straight flute design keeps the cut geometry simple, which helps deliver predictable tracking along guides and fences. Because this bit is intended for general stock removal, it can handle a range of routing passes, from shallow clean-up to deeper channel work as required by the job.
The bit is specified for use on CNC and other automatic routers, which means it can be integrated into programmed cutting cycles where repeatable mortises and grooves are needed. It is also suited to hand-held routers, allowing on-site or bench work where the router is moved to the stock for straight slots. Use on table-mounted portable routers is also supported, so the stock can be guided over the bit when a stable platform is preferred. Because the same straight mortising bit works in CNC, automatic, hand-held, and table-mounted routers, a shop can standardize on one cutting profile across multiple stations, keeping results consistent.
This straight mortising straight flute router bit is suited to routing in composition materials, allowing tasks like cutting channels and recesses in engineered panels using either CNC or hand-held routers. In plywoods, the 1/2 inch diameter lets the bit produce grooves and mortises sized for components planned around that width. When used in hardwoods, the straight flute design keeps the cut aligned with guides, helping maintain straight mortises in solid stock. In softwoods, the general stock removal application makes it useful for quickly clearing material for joinery or recessing without switching bit types. Across these materials, being part of the router bits product class positions it as a daily-use cutter in cabinet and woodworking environments.
The 1/2 inch diameter of this Freud Tool router bit 12-130 sets a fixed cut width, which supports repeatable mortising and groove dimensions when used with jigs or CNC programs. The straight mortising straight flute geometry keeps the cutting edges oriented for straight-line movement, so the bit tracks well along fences, guide bushings, or CNC toolpaths. Because the application is general stock removal with a smooth finish, each pass can both remove material and leave a surface that mates more cleanly with joining parts. Compatibility with CNC and other automatic routers means the bit can run in production sequences where consistent tool behavior is important. Suitability for hand-held and table-mounted portable routers lets the same cutter move between field work and shop setups, helping maintain a common cut profile on different stations. Its ability to cut composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods means the same straight mortising router bit can serve multiple project types, which keeps tooling changes down while holding a familiar cutting response.
This straight mortising straight flute bit cuts composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, so it handles common panel and solid wood tasks in a woodworking or cabinet shop.
The bit has a 1/2 inch diameter, setting the width of mortises and grooves so layouts and joinery can be planned around a consistent, known cut size.
The bit is specified for CNC and other automatic routers as well as hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, so it can move between programmed and manual setups.
The bit is designed for general stock removal with a smooth finish, so it both clears material and leaves a surface ready for further fitting or machining.
The straight flute geometry keeps the cutting edge aligned with the cut path, helping the bit follow fences, guides, and CNC toolpaths in straight mortising operations.
Manufacturer part number 12-130 identifies this specific Freud Tool straight mortising router bit, helping match the exact cutter when reordering or standardizing tooling.
This Freud Tool straight mortising bit, with its 1/2 inch diameter and straight flute geometry, is set up for general stock removal with a smooth finish in composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods. Because it runs in CNC, automatic, hand-held, and table-mounted routers, it can fill multiple roles in a shop while maintaining one consistent mortising profile. For projects that need straight channels and mortises in mixed materials, this router bit offers a defined cut width and a straightforward cutting action that supports repeatable work.
