Freud Double Flute Straight Bit with Tico Hi-Density Carbide + Black I.C.E Coating for Maximum Performance - 1/4" Diameter, 1/4" Shank Dia., 3/4" Height, 2-1/4" Length - 04-106

Freud Double Flute Straight Bits are a go-to solution for grooving, edge-routing, and general-purpose routing tasks. Available in a wide range of carbide-tipped and solid carbide options, these bits are engineered for precision and durability. Featuring optimized hook and shear angles, they deliver fast, clean cuts and a smooth finish in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite materials. Each bit is designed with relieved tips for efficient plunge cutting, making them ideal for both intricate detailing and high-volume production. Whether you're using a CNC machine, hand-held router, or table-mounted setup, Freud bits provide consistent performance across all platforms. With Freud’s exclusive Black I.C.E. (Industrial Cooling Element) coating, these bits stay cooler during use, resist pitch build-up, and improve chip evacuation. Combined with Freud's proprietary TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, the result is up to 2X the tool life and cutting performance compared to standard uncoated bits, perfect for professionals demanding precision and longevity.
