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.

A very good experience overall.
The whole process went smoothly and efficiently except for the Repair Dept. spending 3 weeks trying multiple attempts to order parts and repair the computer before determining it was unrepairable. I will use Assurion in the future.

Fast response to my claim
Honestly was shocked how fast they responded to my claim. I was updated constantly by text and email. The whole process was seriously easy and so stress free.. Again, I was super shocked because most of the time you get the run around with no results. I was so pleased with Asurion, I would highly recommend purchasing their warranty coverage because you just never know what might happen to a product.

Well worth the purchase
I have had to use my Asurion protection plans with other purchases and have ALWAYS been impressed with how easy the process is and always satisfied with the outcome. I now take advantage of purchasing these plans for all major purchases that offer it.
