Experience Heavy-Duty Material Removal and Mirror-Smooth Finishes with the Freud 7/8 Inch Straight Router Bit

Tackle your most demanding routing tasks with confidence using the Freud 12-168 7/8 Inch Double Flute Straight Bit. Featuring a robust 1/2-inch shank and a wide 7/8-inch cutting diameter, this heavy-duty bit is engineered for rapid stock removal and substantial grooving applications where stability is key. It is constructed from Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, a specially formulated blend that offers superior hardness and heat resistance. This premium composition ensures the bit maintains a razor-sharp edge up to four times longer than standard carbide cutters, even when working with abrasive materials like plywood and composites.

The 12-168 is designed with precision computer-balanced geometry to minimize vibration and ensure chatter-free performance. Its optimized hook and shear angles slice cleanly through hardwood and softwood fibers, producing a surface finish that often requires no sanding. The bit also features a specialized end grind that relieves the tips, allowing for efficient plunging capabilities. This makes it ideal for creating deep mortises, stopped dadoes, and pocket cuts. Whether you are using a powerful CNC machine, a table-mounted router, or a heavy-duty hand-held router, this tool delivers the professional precision you expect from Freud.

Key Features

  • TiCo Hi-Density Carbide: Proprietary blend maximizes hardness and edge retention for extended tool life in tough materials.
  • Heavy-Duty Design: 1/2-inch shank and 7/8-inch diameter provide the stability needed for heavy stock removal.
  • Double Flute Geometry: Two precision-ground edges ensure fast chip evacuation and a smooth, clean finish.
  • Plunge Cutting Ready: Relieved tips allow for vertical drilling and starting grooves in the center of the workpiece.
  • Deep Cutting Capacity: 1-1/4 inch carbide height allows for deep dadoing and mortising.
  • Precision Shear Angles: Optimized geometry reduces cutting resistance and prevents burning.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Engineered for use in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.

What's Included:

  • (1) 7/8 In. Double Flute Straight Bit with 1/2 In. Shank (Model 12-168)

Pro-Tip: Large diameter bits like this 7/8" cutter remove a significant amount of material and generate more torque than smaller bits. To ensure safety and a high-quality finish, consider reducing your router's RPM slightly below the maximum 24,000 RPM, and always make multiple passes rather than attempting to cut the full depth at once.

Great Value For The Money
Color: White
I needed something to present my daughter's upcoming 18th birthday gift in. It's a charm bracelet and a bunch of individual meaningful charms. None of them come in gift boxes, and I want something to present them all together in. Failing to find a gift box to fit the bill, I thought that this cute jewelry box would be a nice alternative. I am pleasantly surprised at what I received for the price. I expected a flimsy cardboard-ish box, and this is not that. It's not heirloom quality, but it is a nice sturdy box, well put together, and the interior tray and dividers are thick. Interior fabric is nicely soft and velvety. The box is larger than I expected, it will hold a good amount of jewelry, and it's pretty and of much better quality than I anticipated. Will certainly make a very nice presentation for my daughter's gift, and she'll be able to use it for many years, I'm sure.

Not your average jewelry box....
Color: Sage Green
A lovely simple yet elegant jewelry box - nicely made with a practical design. It has substantial weight and opens and closes nicely. This sage green color is muted with a matte finish making it soft in appearance. The gold closure adds just the right amount of interest. I placed a beautiful pendant inside as a surprise and together, these made the perfect gift for a 40th birthday. Would buy again!

Elegant Jewelry Organizer
Color: White, Color: White
The jewelry box exudes an elegant appearance. I ordered white, but the actual jewelry box is cream-colored. Nevertheless, I am pleased with the various organized compartments and the two-tiered design inside. The box is truly stunning and complements my dresser beautifully. Giving four stars due to the Misleading color.
