DOUBLE FLUTE STRAIGHT BIT is a router bit from Freud Tool designed for general stock removal with a smooth finish, so it handles both material hogging and finish passes in one profile. The 5/16 inch diameter cutting size focuses the cut, which helps when routing mortises or grooves that need a defined width. A 1/4 inch shank gives this bit a common router interface, useful across many light and mid-duty routers on site or in the shop. The overall 2 inch length keeps the tool compact, which supports better control when plunging or working in jigs and guides. As a straight mortising router bit, it is suited to straight cuts rather than profiling, so it fits into workflows centered on slots, dados, and clean channels in sheet goods and solid stock.
The 5/16 inch diameter of this straight mortising router bit sets the width of the cut, so jigs, templates, and CNC tool paths can be sized accurately around that dimension. Its 1/4 inch shank is sized for routers and collets that accept 1/4 inch tooling, supporting quick bit changes in common shop and field routers. The overall 2 inch length keeps the cutting portion close to the collet, which supports stability during plunges into hardwoods, softwoods, plywoods, or composition materials. As a straight bit used in mortising applications, it favors plunge and linear passes rather than edge profiling, which suits hinge mortises, slots, and dados that need consistent depth and width.
This Freud straight mortising bit is described for general stock removal with a smooth finish, so it works in roles from bulk material removal to final-pass cleanup in the same cut path. Because it cuts composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, it serves in cabinet shops, millwork, and site work where job material can change from sheet goods to solid frames during the day. Its 5/16 inch cutting diameter suits mortises, slots, and grooves that fall near that size, such as channels for small panels or hardware pockets routed with guides. The 2 inch overall length keeps the cutting edges compact relative to the shank, favoring controlled passes in hand-held routers and supporting shorter stick-out in automated setups.
The 1/4 inch shank on this 12-106T bit fits routers and collets built for 1/4 inch tooling, which simplifies matching the bit to many compact and mid-size routers used for mortising. By cutting all listed materials with the same straight geometry, the bit lets operators keep tool paths consistent between plywoods, hardwoods, softwoods, and composition materials, so jigs and CNC programs stay stable across materials. The double flute straight design supports general stock removal while delivering a smooth finish, allowing mortises and grooves to be cut to final size without switching bits for a separate cleanup pass. As a Freud Tool router bit identified as 12-106T, it can be specified in tooling lists so future replacements or duplicates match the original cut behavior.
The DOUBLE FLUTE STRAIGHT BIT is for general stock removal with a smooth finish, so it is used to rout mortises, grooves, and straight channels in various wood-based materials.
The bit cuts all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, so it handles mixed cabinet parts, casework, and trim components in one tooling setup.
The 5/16 inch diameter sets the width of the routed slot or mortise, helping jigs, templates, and CNC tool paths be sized accurately for that channel width.
The 1/4 inch shank fits routers that accept 1/4 inch tooling, allowing this bit to be used in many hand-held and portable table-mounted routers suited to that shank size.
The DOUBLE FLUTE STRAIGHT BIT is described for use on CNC and other automatic routers, so it fits into programmed tool changers and automated routing workflows.
The bit is described for use on hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, so it works for field mortising and shop routing where portable routers are preferred.
The Freud Tool DOUBLE FLUTE STRAIGHT BIT with 5/16 inch diameter, 1/4 inch shank, and 2 inch length is built for general stock removal with a smooth finish across composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods. Its straight mortising profile and CNC, automatic, hand-held, and table-mounted router suitability let it move between shop and field work while keeping the same cut geometry. For routing mortises, grooves, and straight channels around a 5/16 inch width, this Freud 12-106T bit provides a defined cutting size that can be matched to guides, templates, and programmed tool paths.
