Two Flute Mortise Compression Bit from Freud Tool is a router bit designed for straight mortising work in plywood, melamine, hardwood, and softwood, so one cutter handles varied sheet goods and solid stock on the same job. The mortise compression spiral geometry uses a shorter up shear length than other compression spiral bits, which pulls fibers toward the center of the cut and reduces edge damage in grooves and mortises. That shorter up shear length also suits through-cuts in thin double sided material 5/8 inch thick or less, giving cleaner top and bottom edges on parts like cabinet sides or shelves. The bit has a 1/2 inch diameter to balance strength and cut width for common mortise and groove sizes. A 1/4 inch shank lets this bit fit routers that take quarter-inch shank tooling, keeping it usable across a range of shop and site routers.
This Freud Tool router bit is built for use in CNC, hand-held or table-mounted routers, so the same cutting geometry can be applied on nested-based CNC work, router tables, or site routing with a portable router. The 1/4 inch shank interfaces with collets sized for quarter-inch tooling, which affects which routers or CNC spindles it can be mounted in. The bit length of 2 inches provides working reach suited to grooves, mortises, and through-cuts within that depth range, which influences how deep a slot or cut can be made in a single pass or stepped passes. As a router bit in the straight mortising category, it is configured for vertical plunge and linear feed, aligning with typical mortising or slotting toolpaths and jigs.
This mortise compression spiral bit is described as ideal for grooves and mortises, so it fits tasks such as routing slots for joinery, hardware tracks, or panel seating in cabinet and furniture projects. Its suitability for through-cuts in thin double sided material 5/8 inch thick or less makes it appropriate for sizing parts from laminated or veneered panels, where clean edges on both faces matter visually. The bit is specified to rout plywood, melamine and other double-sided materials, letting it handle common cabinet carcass, shelving, and fixture panels where face chipping is a concern. Its capability with hardwood and softwood means it also serves on solid components like face frames, rails, and stiles, so one tool model covers both panel processing and solid wood joinery routing in the same workflow.
The shorter up shear length relative to other compression spiral bits focuses the opposing shear forces near the cut zone, which helps keep edges of thin double sided material supported during cutting and reduces tear-out on the decorative faces. The two flute configuration manages chip load around the 1/2 inch diameter cutting circle, which affects surface finish quality along groove walls and mortise sides in cabinet and furniture parts. Freud Tool specifies a Black I.C.E. coating on this mortise compression spiral bit, which is intended to create a cool cutting edge that helps with chip evacuation and thermal control during routing passes. Freud Premier Solid Carbide combined with Black I.C.E. and Freud Ti br Co Hi-Density Carbide is described as delivering 2x increased life and performance versus standard uncoated bits, which can extend usable cutting time between bit changes during production runs or intensive shop work.
The Two Flute Mortise Compression Bit is specified to rout plywood, melamine, other double-sided materials, hardwood, and softwood, so it spans typical cabinet sheet goods and solid wood components.
The mortise compression spiral bit uses a shorter up shear length, which concentrates compression near the cut and helps limit chipping along groove and mortise edges in thin, delicate materials.
The bit is described as ideal for through-cuts in thin double sided material 5/8 inch thick or less, which aligns with many cabinet and fixture panel thicknesses.
The mortise compression spiral bit is specified for use in CNC, hand-held, or table-mounted routers, so the same cutting geometry transfers across different routing setups.
This Freud Tool router bit has a 1/2 inch diameter and a 1/4 inch shank, which determines the cut width and the compatible router or collet size.
The mortise compression spiral bit uses Black I.C.E. coating, which is described as supporting a cool cutting edge and chip evacuation, contributing to increased life versus uncoated bits.
The Freud Tool Two Flute Mortise Compression Bit, 1/2 inch Diameter, 1/4 inch Shank, 2 inch Length, ties its geometry and coating directly to grooves, mortises, and through-cuts in plywood, melamine, hardwood, and softwood. The shorter up shear length and mortise compression spiral design aim at clean edges in thin double sided material 5/8 inch thick or less, targeting common cabinet and fixture parts. With suitability for CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers, this router bit offers a consistent option for straight mortising tasks handled through Wurth Baer Supply.
