DOUBLE FLUTE STRAIGHT BIT describes this Freud Tool 12-116T router bit, which uses a straight double-flute design to perform general stock removal while producing a smooth finish. The 3/8 inch diameter cutting profile shapes material precisely, so routed grooves and mortises track predictably with your layout. A 1/2 inch shank connects the bit securely to compatible router collets, supporting stable running during cuts. The overall 2-5/8 inch length gives a compact working profile, which helps maintain control in both handheld and table-mounted routing setups. As a straight mortising bit in the router bits class, it is suited to cutting channels, dados, and mortises in woodworking projects needing consistent wall geometry. Freud Tool branding and the specific manufacturer part number 12-116T identify this bit for repeat ordering when matching tools for ongoing work.
This Freud Tool 12-116T bit uses a 1/2 inch shank, so it engages firmly with routers designed for 1/2 inch collets, giving the bit a stable seating depth that supports accurate alignment during setup. The 3/8 inch diameter defines the cut width, allowing jigs, fences, or CNC programs to be planned around this fixed size when laying out mortises or grooves. A 2-5/8 inch overall length keeps the cutting portion close to the collet, which supports reduced deflection and helps maintain perpendicular walls as passes deepen. As a straight mortising router bit described for general stock removal with a smooth finish, it serves as a workhorse cutter where consistent cavity geometry and acceptable surface quality are needed across similar setups.
The Web Description states that this bit cuts composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, so it can be applied across common sheet goods and solid wood tasks in woodworking shops. That material range supports routing jobs that move from cabinet-grade plywood to hardwood frames without changing to a different straight bit. The application is described as general stock removal with a smooth finish, meaning it can clear material when forming recesses, channels, or mortises while leaving a surface suitable for typical woodworking joinery interfaces. Because it is part of the straight mortising category, it aligns with operations where straight-walled cavities are needed, such as housing joints and similar recessing work in constructed assemblies.
The double flute design, described as a straight double flute, provides two cutting edges engaging the work, which distributes the cut while supporting a smoother finish as material is removed. That geometry helps reduce noticeable ridging along the walls of routed mortises and grooves during general stock removal. The ability to cut composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods allows a single 3/8 inch diameter setup to handle similar profiles across varied stock, reducing the need to reconfigure tooling between those material types. The 1/2 inch shank construction connects the bit solidly to routers equipped for that shank size, which supports consistent tracking when the bit is used on CNC and other automatic routers as well as hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, as stated in the Web Description. This compatibility with multiple router types allows a programmed or guided path to be reused across equipment, helping maintain predictable results over multiple runs of the same operation.
The Freud Tool 12-116T bit cuts composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods, so one tool can handle a range of common sheet goods and solid wood in woodworking projects.
The Freud Tool 12-116T has a 3/8 inch diameter, setting the width of mortises, grooves, or channels and helping layouts match joinery or mating parts.
