Execute Precise Metric Joinery with the Freud 16mm Double Flute Straight Router Bit
Achieve exacting standards in your woodworking projects with the Freud 04-540 16mm Double Flute Straight Bit. This specialized cutter is an essential tool for woodworkers dealing with metric specifications, offering a precise 16mm cutting diameter that standard fractional imperial bits cannot match. It is crafted from Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, a proprietary formulation designed to withstand high operating temperatures and maintain a razor-sharp edge up to four times longer than standard carbide cutters, ensuring consistent performance in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and abrasive composite materials.
The 04-540 is engineered for both versatility and superior finish quality. Its computer-balanced double flute geometry features precision-ground hook and shear angles that slice cleanly through wood fibers, minimizing vibration and leaving a smooth surface that typically requires no sanding. With a 3/4-inch cutting height and a standard 1/4-inch shank, this bit fits a wide range of routers while providing the stability needed for general grooving. The carbide tips are also relief-ground to facilitate safe and effective plunge cutting, allowing you to start grooves or recesses directly in the center of a workpiece for hardware installations or mortises.
Key Features
- Metric Precision: True 16mm cutting diameter is ideal for installing metric hardware and specific joinery requirements.
- TiCo Hi-Density Carbide: Proprietary carbide blend delivers exceptional durability and heat resistance for extended tool life.
- Double Flute Design: Two precision cutting edges ensure fast chip evacuation and a smooth, chatter-free finish.
- Plunge Cutting Ready: Relieved tips allow for vertical drilling and starting grooves anywhere on the material.
- 1/4 Inch Shank: Versatile shank size fits laminate trimmers, hand-held routers, and tabletop CNC machines.
- Precision Geometry: Optimized shear angles reduce cutting resistance and prevent burning on the workpiece.
