    Description

    Double Flute Straight Bit For Clean Stock Removal

    Double flute straight bit design handles general stock removal while helping produce a smooth finish, so installers and woodworkers can clear material quickly and still hit an acceptable surface ready for further machining. The 3/4 inch diameter cutting profile removes a wide path in a single pass, which matters when routing mortises, dados, or pockets where consistent width is critical across multiple parts. A 1/4 inch shank matches routers that accept this common shank size, allowing the bit to be used in a wide range of handheld and table-mounted tools built for that interface. Overall 2 inch length keeps the cutting portion compact, which supports better control during routing and helps maintain rigidity in many cabinet and woodworking setups. The Freud Tool name and 04-140 part number identify this router bit clearly for jobsite ordering and shop reordering.

    Key Straight Mortising Details That Support Work

    • The 3/4 inch diameter cutting edge removes a broad channel in one pass, which reduces repeat passes when routing grooves or mortises to a fixed width across casework or frame parts.
    • The 1/4 inch shank is sized for routers that accept this shank dimension, so installers can use compact or mid-size routers that are already set up for similar bits in the shop or on site.
    • The double flute straight configuration is built for general stock removal, so waste material is cleared efficiently while maintaining enough cutting surface contact to support controlled feeding.
    • The bit is described for use on all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, which covers common cabinet, furniture, and millwork sheet goods and solid stock in many shops.
    • The router bit is part of the Straight Mortising router bits class, so its geometry is oriented toward straight-sided cuts such as mortises, dados, and grooves rather than profiling edges.

    Installation And Router Setup For This Freud Bit

    The 1/4 inch shank on this Freud Tool router bit seats into 1/4 inch router collets, so the bit can be secured firmly before routing mortises or straight cuts. The 2 inch length keeps the cutting portion relatively short, which supports stable engagement in handheld and table-mounted portable routers during general stock removal. The bit is specified for use on CNC and other automatic routers, as well as handheld and table-mounted portable routers, so the same 04-140 bit can move between CNC fixtures and manual setups without changing cutting geometry. Using one diameter across machines helps maintain consistent mortise and groove widths through different stages of a project.

    Using The Freud Straight Mortising Bit In Real Jobs

    Where This Straight Mortising Router Bit Excels

    This Freud Tool straight mortising double flute bit is specified for general stock removal, so it fits tasks like hogging out mortises, dados, or pockets where material needs to be cleared efficiently. The 3/4 inch diameter creates a wide cut suitable for cabinet side dados, shelving grooves, and structural pockets that match common 3/4 inch material dimensions in many woodworking projects. Because it cuts all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, the same 04-140 bit can move from particleboard cabinet boxes to hardwood face frames and softwood fixtures while keeping a consistent cut width. The bit belongs to the Straight Mortising product class, so the cutting edges are oriented to cut flat-bottom, straight-sided channels instead of decorative profiles, which supports joinery-focused operations.

    How This Bit Supports Consistent Routing Results

    The double flute straight bit geometry used on this 04-140 model balances material removal with a smooth finish, which matters when dados or mortises need clean walls for glue contact or hardware fit. The 3/4 inch diameter provides a repeatable reference size, so jigs, fences, or CNC toolpaths can be built around this dimension and reused on production runs without changing hardware. With a 1/4 inch shank shared by many compact routers, installers can keep a single collet setup and swap in this bit when moving between tasks that call for general stock removal across similar materials. The bit is specified for CNC and other automatic routers, as well as handheld and table-mounted portable routers, so once feeds and passes are dialed in on one platform, the same basic approach can be applied across machines using the identical cutting tool.
